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...

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...

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...

Hurricane Agatha that struck the south of Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador has left a wake of destruction, devastation and dead bodies. With countless families loosing lives, homes and possessions we find ourselves in the midst of great need. Having hit on 29 May 2010, shortly after the Northbound team left, the effects are still being felt with problems far from over. With the hurricane comes torrential rain causing mudslides and rockslides leaving everything in near proximity buried. Panajachel, a town in the southwest Guatemalan highlands on the shore of Lake Atitlan, has been rather affected as well as those...
