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...
"The land of smiles"

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 ...

The Global Challenge Expeditions Team of 2015 has created an initiative to increase financial support, called the Break an Egg, Build a School Challenge . This challenge is to create a video of you breaking an egg in a creative way and donate at www....
Em consonância com a prática instaurada por Jesus, descrita em Lucas 10, entre os dias 21 e 29 saímos de Kusadasi (Turquia) sem dinheiro para poder gastar, sem acomodações planeadas, apenas dependendo inteiramente na suficiência de Deus. Sem que determinássemos de uma forma planeada ou escolhêssemos um lugar onde decididamente iríamos por Deus a prova, a ilha de Ciprus, apareceu primeiramente como uma brincadeira quando olhamos pela primeira vez para o mapa da Turquia, possivelmente porque seria o lugar mais distante, mais recôndito onde conseguiríamos chegar com a providência de Deus. No entanto, esta escolha, ganhou significado quando Deus nos...
A number of GCX08 participants are from SA Gemeente (Congregation) in London: Stefan (GC staff), Sulene (Project leader), Hector (Red team leader), Marizy (Lime team leader), Debree (Lime team member), Liza (Blue team member), Mari (Blue team member) and Nina (who was part of GC07 and joined the Lime team during our time in Zambia). We still appreciate the support, prayer and encouragement we receive from SAG a lot. All of us have been greatly blessed through our involvement in SAG during our time of working in the UK. Something I will always remember with gratitude from SAG, is the fellowship and upliftment I enjoyed in cell groups, camps,...

New Zealand I am truly convinced that the beauty of the world was cut into pieces and then God puzzled them together in the shape of an Island, New Zealand. I watched a documentary of a helicopter flying over the South Island that revealed places and beauty that no man has set foot on. " The South Island is a mountainous Island. As far as the eye can reach nothing is to be seen but the summits of these rocky mountains. These mountains seem to lie so close to each other the valleys between them fade in the eye...
Hey... Mannn I've been putting off writing this blog for a while, just because I've no clue how to go about this. So i'm just going to introduce myself...:) My name is Gehta van Tonder. I live in White River Mpumalanga and I finished school this year. 'Nuff bout that, the moment I heard of Global Challenge I could feel the Holy Spirit prompting me to go. I know next year isn't going to be easy (hence the word 'challenge':D), but I have decided to follow Jesus with everything in me, no turning back. I want Jesus to be proud...

Greetings from Colombia, the home of great coffee, cocaine, and kidnapping guerrillas! We have arrived safe and sound, though some of our teammates had a detour through Peru and Ecuador. After a safety briefing we made way from Bogota to a nearby town of Fusagasuga.
So, I woke up in my own bed this morning after 7 weeks of sleeping in unfamiliar places with people I hardly know. Now I can say that I have 35 new homes built in my heart. On Thursday night we were commisioned, and man, what a long journey to FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!! Talking about homes. Time to be honest about the one I'm living in. The one you can't see with your eyes. The one you feel with your heart. For quite a long time, I was disobedient and didn't want to leave behind the familiar, to experience...
