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...

A fearless warrior runs into battle with nothing to lose. His armor and sword are always at the ready with no weak spots or blemishes because he understands that he needs protection and takes care to ensure he has it. He gives everything he has and is completely committed to the battle. He has counted the cost and is obedient, never questioning the mission. His mind, body and spirit are all focused on fighting till the battle is won. Even if warriors fall next to him, never to stand up again, he continues fighting. No personal comforts or desires matter...
I take Psalm 139 as my own and praise God for the nations and proclaiming each promise He gives me!!! "The Lord lives! Praise to my Rock! May the God of my salvation be exalted! He is the God who pays back those who harm me. He subdues the nations under me and rescues me from my enemies. You hold me safe beyond the reach of my enemies; You save me from violent opponents. For this, O Lord, I will praise you among the nations, I will sing praises to your name. You give great victories to your king; You show unfailing love...
Personal newsletter Colombia I am standing on my Daddy's feet. Holding Him around His waist. Having a childish laughter when I look at Him. I am glued to Him, nothing can get me off Him. I do not want to let go. I am feeling safe and protected in His presence. I do not care where He is taking me or what is happening around me. No, it does not matter. All that matters is being with my Daddy wherever I go. There is nothing to worry about and nothing to figure out. That is my Daddy's job. Yes, He...
4AM...Teet-teet-teet...Yaaawn...Wakey wakey we are going to Honduras..Belize!!!!
With Maasai dust forming in the background and cattlebells sounding onwords Kenya takes its place in our past now a memory set in stone as the Fort of our Savior's Name cast in stone of deep Stil waters and an atmosfere of equal lay behind as we spread wings again pointing to the stars they wait burried an age ago with secrets left. Learnt so much and changed equaly much. *
Staying only a few meters away from the Panama Canal, unlimited mangoes, breath taking nature and all sorts of parrots flying over my head. How can one get more beautiful days like that? How can one get a more beautiful and creative God than that? The time in Panama was full of adventures, laughter, traveling, learning and spending amazing time with my mom (who came with the parents visits). Here's just a glimpse of our adventures:
Hello my beloved bretheren, I would like to say "Here is David," but I can't because its my first blog, and the first blog of my life. We will see what will happen... I would like to jump right into a special phase in the first month of our training in Jeffreys Bay. The Get-to-know-each-other-time was already over and suddenly we jumped into some kind of Get-too-know-each-other-even-better-time. I'm not allowed to talk about "Survivor“, but what I can say: “Suffering connects” ;D After that we had the privilege of regenerating for two days in a remote school hostel in the...
