Uncertain future, certain God.
Our journey back to South Africa was undoubtedly paved by the hand of the Father. The moment we heard the seriousness of Corona, we as teams were called to meet together at a central place in Brazil - a house in the mountains near a very small town. ...
Led to Lead
I'm leading a team this year! In less than four years God has come and radically changed my life for the better. I believe that each and every single one of us are led to lead. In other words Christ leads us to lead others to him. What a privil...
Would you jump with me?
I remember standing at the edge of a cliff. Looking out at the big wide blue ocean. Looking down and seeing a beautiful scary blue unknown. My heart pounding in my chest like the sound of an epic climactic drum solo. Should I jump? Should i let go of...
Into the nations
Hello, my name is Johan Bruwer. I am on the brink of a 10-month journey where I will see and be a part of the establishment of God’s kingdom in the nations. I believe that the great commission is not an option to be considered, but it is a command to...
Discovering God
After finishing a blog on how God changed my mindset, about things I did not like doing and showing me other wise, I was not convinced that that was what I was supposed to share. After some amazing teachings this past few days and spending some...

Hidden World in The World

If I could use three words to describe Cuba, it would be Chevrolets, ice cream and pizza. Chevrolets, because 90% of the cars in Cuba are old, vintage Chevy's driving up and down the colourful streets, giving it a 60's vibe with golden oldies playing on the radios of these vintage vehicles. Ice cream, because every 10 meters down the street there’s an ice cream parlour selling ice cream for 1 Peso, which is 50c in SA. Same sell scoops and others soft serve, nevertheless it’s cheap and a life saver on those hot, Cuban summer days. And pizza, because...

Here follows Paul's words to the Philippian church, it really inspires me. "The very credentials these people are waving around as something special, I'm tearing up and throwing out with the trash - along with everything else I used to take credit for. And why? Because of Christ. Yes, all the things I once thought were so important are gone from my life. Compared to the high privilege of knowing Christ Jesus as my Master, firsthand, everything I once thought I had going for me is insignificant - dog dung. I've dumped it all in the trash so that...
First and foremost: I have no idea what I'm doing in regards to writing a blog, so please forgive my first attempt at digitally diarising my adventure with Global Challenge expeditions throughout this year. Roughly a month ago I left the comfort, food and safety of home to join the ranks of Global Challenge, and in concordance with my 18 short years on planet earth, I can say that I have never made a better decision in my life! Sure the menu may lack some protein and variety, but what Global does offer is far more filling...It is food for...
“Jesus reveal Yourself to me? I’m asking You to please show me Who You are.” ALRIGHT MY SON, JUST BECAUSE YOU ASKED AND HAD FAITH IN ME I WILL. VISION, VISION, VISION. Yip, Jesus is really working with not just me but our entire team. He is also in this time and space of the world busy revealing Himself to people of all religions. The time here in Jordan is really an indescribable experience and God is really busy revealing Himself to me. He is giving me visions about the past and even the future. Not only that, I am...

We were at the Sea of Galilee, Red Sea and Dead Sea a d Mediterranean Sea. We walked, took busses, taxis and hitchiked to places. We bought food, got food given to us and...
