Cuba is classic and timeless. It is the combination of buildings and cars stuck in time, the classical jazz music in the back ground, the smell of cigars and the open hearts of the people that made my experience there unforgettable and one of kind. Absolutely everything is beautiful there. The ocean, the buildings, the people and the food. The ocean is blue with palm trees, the works; thus you still feel like you are on an island. The buildings are tall and closely built together with small streets and big windows with wooden frames. Classical European style....

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...

It's been such an amazing time here in Jordan, learning how to love and understand more of your team is so special! The Lord loves these people and I know that he's going to use us here as his vessels. Now it's real! This is living now!!!
Ten days Luke 10 journey - What else as miracles can you expect? In our first Luke 10 journey in training I was sceptical how God will show up and what he has planned for us. Everything was new for me and I didn't know so much fun will expect me. After this privilege to experience this and hear all the stories from the other groups I was so excited for this faith trip and knew that He will provide and be with us all the time. Praying, listening to God's voice and stepping into his plan were a...
Tobi Basson Last night I was asked : " Yes you believe what you believe, but what about what other people believe and their religion ?" I could not think of anything, but the Spirit of the Lord that is in me, made me say this : " First I did no believe anything, but when I received the Sprit of the Lord, He made me believe. If I was not driven by the Spirit, I would not believe anything ; I would have no religion. So my God is real, for only His Spirit could change me."
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...
So with training done we are sent out into the nations....and then we waited...at the airport. Airports are were people come and go. It's a place of excitement, sadness, expectations and for some a new beginning. Like a new promise that has been patiently waiting to be discovered. And this is how we feel. A new adventure on the other side of that boarding gate. A journey that will change our lives forever through the people we will meet. It feels like we only arrived yesterday for training and now we are on our way again. God has spoken words...
The Kidz ! Thank you for those who helped us in the past to provide clothing and training for the children in my area. This sport-ministry has taken off again on a high note here in Phuket, and we are excited about it. Children have grown out of old shoes and clothes, and we need to provide again. We will try to support them again with funds for training, clothing and competition fees. And if we are lucky, we can even sponsor a prize here an there, opening children's hearts to a good lifestyle and Christ ! You are welcome...

My name is Thulani its been good hearing the word of God this week I really enjoy it now I can tell people about love .that is my goal in life is to tell people about God.
i'ts being such an amazing time of rest with friends and family (the south african one) hahahh. Being surrounded by the love of people just make me feel more rea for what's coming. Tomorrow we gonna fly to Jordan, to have a time of serving and loving people. For me it's everything so crazy, I never imagine myself going to countries like Jordan or CHINA!!! But all this just makes me remember Psalm 2 - 8. "Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. "....
