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
And just like that we were saying our good bye's and getting on a plane, watching South Africa disappear beneath us and bidding it farewell for the next 8 months. Hidden World is officially in the nations. It still seems unreal to us. 8 weeks ago we ...

Training in South Africa ended yesterday. I'm so happy to share what I have lived with God at this time. Each week was completely different from each other. One had the challenge of building a foundation school for adolescents belonging to the Global Challenge. In three days my team of 12 people dug 12 holes 1.5 / 1.5 m and 0.5 m deep in the ground very hard and full of rocks. It was very gratifying to see the work done and delivered at the right time (miracle) and most gratifying yet is know that the foundation...
Faith Journey Malaysia The Luke 10 Faith journeys would begin in a country unique and alien to us, good thing it wasn't up to us to decide what to do. We all came from Singapore to Malaysia with uncertainty and excitement. This whole year we don't know what amazing stuff Gods has to surprise us with, now even more so. The team split into four groups. What occurred that we would for the first time be "split" and be completely dependent on God for everything! We reunited in Kuala Lumpur ten days after starting our Luke 10 faith...
DANCE, SING, SHOUT, OPEN ARMS, REVELATION AND RELATIONSHIP!!! Those are the things I experienced, no wait!!! Those are the ways how God revealed Himself to me for which I'm thankful for until the end of days! Want to know what happened? Strap yourself in because you are about to find out. Let me tell you something today. JESUS CHRIST lives in YOU, yes you! If you did not know that now you do. Did you know that JC ( JESUS CHRIST ) CONQUERED EVERYTHING? Remember when Jesus died for us He CONQUERED EVERYTHING. Just keep that in mind throughout this...
Normal 0 As you may know we were sent out on a Luke 10 journey from Panajachel to Mexico City on Wednesday the 20 th of August. However God told us to only leave on the 3 rd day. Only realizing later that God had a plan for us in these three days, we did not only have to clean up the house but also spend time greeting the locals and sorting out all the left over clothes left by the rest of the team. So at 9am on Friday morning we started our faith journey to Mexico… more...
Wow time ha gone quick here in Varanasi we are on the last day here an so sad to leave , because I wished I had more to see the city and have more prayer walks and pray for Gods hand of mercy and Love to be over the city of Varanasi. we arrived safely last Sunday have had a good time to rest and then go and see why is this the city of Hinduism and God really has a Love for these people, for I say no normal person who does not have the Love of Jesus can experience and...

So here is the scoop on Incredible India. Sorry it has been so long but for safety reasons we couldn’t get on the website at all while in India. (PS I promise more pictures are to come to this blog...check back later)
Training started off with a bang, my heart beating like a drum, meeting new people knowing that they will be my family for the year. At first it did not seem possible but after running with a chicken, pulled out of our comfort zones, bubbels burst, testimonies spoken and God revealing the state of my heart, I can honestly say that I feel like I am appart and accepted into a God loving family that not only care for me but also care about my heart... After 3 weeks of intense sessions with Carla ;) I am really looking forward...
This is how an adventure starts.... After our Machu Picchu adventure we got on a bus to the Bolivian border from Cusco on a Monday evening at 22:30. We reached the Bolivian border the next morning with anticipation and hopes of seeing the jungle again but...God had other plans. About an hour later we found ourselves on the pavement back in Peru as we couldn't get into Bolivia. In a rush of praying and thinking and trusting we unloaded our bags from the bus and waved it goodbye as it entered Bolivia without us. So there we were...apparently Peru wanted...
