From the beginning of China I was expecting resistance. Resistance from the “public enemy nr1”. We were definitely stepping on his toes. And every one experienced their own kind of attacks that he attacked us with. From my perspective, it was really intense.

Wow! I can’t believe we’re this far! Here at Alabanza we’ve been welcomed with warm smiles and are so blessed to be at a place where we can prepare for our 80 days journey…

With great expectations we started this journey. It was a time of being uncertain of what awaits us but being certain that God has called us. and that is exactly the point...God has called us. He still is. And those who answer this ever present call are the people who will see His glory unfold in the hidden world. Training has been an adventure in itself. We are discovering so much about ourselves and of God. Our ways of thinking has been moulded, challenged, and affirmed. It has been both challenging and edifying. This is church. A group of believers...

Turkey , Macedonia , Kosovo and 4 days in Malaysia. What a wonderful time! Having the opportunity to serve in love and strength, filling afflicted hearts with a peace that does not come from you . But wait there , comes from Him , He has filled me . What insane! Going to a place where you are uncertain of what will roll at the same time come to a place where you also do not know WHAT will roll but knows that his Father is in control of everything. We saw from the turkish beauty to the conflict between...

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...

Sooo in training we learned about us being predestined. I had so many questions, how when, where, can it be??? Then Jesus just came and went : oh my child let me just show you...  You know God being a Father and having such a sense of humour...  He loves to surprise you and He surly loves it to make you stand in awe of what He is doing.  GOD    In so many ways He had shown me all the times I took steps and He directed them.    The journey that I am on at this moment with...

Wow! Time is going by so fast! We are having a very blessed time here in Malaysia. Still strugling a bit with the VERY HOT AND HUMID weather, but we are having a great time. Every day I just realise more and more how blessed we are living in South Africa where we have freedom of speech! For these people Christianity is not a religion but a true relationship with God! It is very inspiring to see how they live and how they trust God for everything!! My email adres on the blog is incorrect, I will try to fix it as soon...

Dear ones I call friends and family!                                                                                                   Swinging from my hammock on the second deck of our rather large katamarang boat, as she vibrates her way up the Amazon river, I think of the many stories that have filled my sails in the past month. Our means of passage is so...
