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"
Thailand!! Wow it's an incredible place! Filled with beauties that only seeing in person can be understood! It definitely lives up to its phrase "the land of smiles" everyone here is just amazing. This country is special for me! We started in Bangkok...
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 ...

We spent the past two weeks in Kathmandu, Nepal, mostly serving and encouraging our fellow believers.Tomorrow we are off to New Delhi, India. In Nepal God showed us a part of His power as many people recieved miraculous healing and many unbelievers came to Christ and could experience His power first hand. From driving out demons and laying on hands, to saving people from their suicide attempts, God really used me like never before, making me a vessel of His power. The past two weeks I had many opportunities to preach, in both churches and rural non believing villages. The...
Turkey! Haha no, not the flightless bird, the country of course. It has the most beautiful landscapes, delightful food and rich history. We (as the 10 guys) spent some weeks on a olive farm in Urla, Turkey, where we would have early mornings milking the sheep, fetching the eggs from the chicken coop and preparing breakfast which would normally be bread that we baked ourselves and some kind of spread like Nutella or a variety of jams. Then we would start the day of by going to the "clay pit" where we would mix clay, sand and hay into water...
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... Father I am surrounded by my enemies. Tempted I am, the snare of the Devil I feel. I'm getting weak, my armour is damaged. I am falling... Daddy HELP! Rap yourself around me, protect me. 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...
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....
Faith Journey Malaysia The Luke 10 Faith journeys would begin in a country unique and alien to us, good thing it wasn't up to us to decide what to do. We all came from Singapore to Malaysia with uncertainty and excitement. This whole year we don't know what amazing stuff Gods has to surprise us with, now even more so. The team split into four groups. What occurred that we would for the first time be "split" and be completely dependent on God for everything! We reunited in Kuala Lumpur ten days after starting our Luke 10 faith...
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 had a hard time writing this post. Not for the lack of things happening. Not for the lack of God working. Not for the lack of anything! In it's own way Israel was amazing. Visiting God's Holy Land. Getting to interact with God's bride. Getting to know how 2 different people groups get along together in one country basically split up in two. Israel was amazing. Going to Bethlehem and experiencing the birthplace of Jesus, moving along to Jerusalem and seeing where Jesus was crucified, buried and risen. That was something amazing. Experiencing God's work in me. Israel...
Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep,deep wisdom? It's way over our heads. We'll never figure it out.
Is there anyone around who can explain God?
Anyone smart enough to tell Him what to do?
Anyone who has done Him such a huge favour
that God has to ask his advice?
