So the first few days in Belize was spent, working with the youth and kids of the small church we were involved with, in Bullet Tree. We taught them a dance, a song and a memory verse, which they got the chance to perform in the weekend's Harvest Festival's services. But working with those kids meant more to me than just getting them to remember words of a song or moves to a dance. I know i have blogged about this, but the innocence and the unconditional nature of their love and joy, just overwhelmed me.

        

After an amazing time in Belize we were on our way to Mexico city to get our working permits for Canada.   After leaving Belize on a bus crossing the border to continue our journey, we went to the only bus station that have a bus to go to Mexico city... We asked at the ticket station how much it wil cost for 4 guys to get on the bus... The guy said without any show of emotions it is 5000pesos to 4 guys that only have 20 pesos... Well we arrived in Mexico city the next day !!!!   ...

Fiji A lot happens in a months time. We are already on our way again after spending a bit over twenty days in Fiji. The first sence of the country could already be felt on arrival, this is one of the friendliest people groups I have met. This country is generally filled with friendliness. It is a bit of a laid back culture even modern music has been mixed to fit the island vibe as you drive on local busses.    We started off at a YWAM(youth with a mission) base near Labasa on the northern island. Here we were...

Bethlehem, a land deprived of peace yet you could feel the very precence of it lingering in the streets of painted walls. There is a old refugee camp where the poor and less privileged live and graffiti all over walls, but I saw môre privliges there then in my own home. People nearly excepting you in their families and no matter what people say about Palestinian people, their intentions to me is one of peace.

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)

The Brazilians like to bike around. I had my first bicycle accident on my first day in down-town Ubatuba and many were to follow. The first high speed accident was a head-on-collision (going about 2km/ph) with a 10year old boy while I was trying to balance the weeks groceries on the handle bars. There was lettuce and yogurt flying as I was trying to scoop up my pride from the sidewalk – on the wrong side of the road.

When I first joined Global I thought I was just going to be going on a trip around the world. I thought I was just going to see cool places, meet amazing people, have the adventure of a lifetime and the pictures to prove it. All of this has happened, of course, but God had much bigger plans for me than I could have imagined. I went into this journey expecting to change the lives of others but I ended up having my life changed instead. It started in training. From Survivor to guest speakers, Veritas, Luke 10, prophecy, Bible...

mylll   Temptation    Daddy. They are watching me. Eyes everywhere! They are researching my past and looking up my failures. Building a weapon to destroy me. Like a snake just waiting to strike...

Fight for me. Hide me in your Light! Please, do not leave me. Do not forsake me Daddy... The roots of temptation have been revealed. I have prayed over it. I...
