Climbing of the bus in San Jose in Costa Rica and the journey begins. Our group spilt up in 2 groups and went out on our faith journey just trusting on the Lord to take us to the places where we need to go. From the bus stop me and Geoff took the road saying our goodbyes to Mulder and Quinton and told them we will meet you guys in Guatemala on the 1 st of May at Crossroads Café. 10 Days traveling by faith doing a semi Luke10. Getting lost in San Jose in the part of town you...

It all started on the 10th of Jan when 36 young strangers met each other not knowing exactly what we have got ourselves into, but nothing better than a trip to the Bush to quickly make everyone feel at home. Doing Survivor and training for the second time was such a huge revelation of how God is never the same. It is amazing how i received the same teachings than last year but how God still came down to my level for me and tought me something new daily. If I look back at training there are three Scriptures that...

My outlook on hosting people will never be the same. During our stay in brasil we were reguraly confronted with the awkward situation of random people that didnt speak our language, and have nothing in common, but still will take us into their homes, feed us, spoil us and didnt want anything in return. In some situations we even received money. We soon just came to the conclusion that the only common grounds we had were Jesus, that in itself was enough. So often we try to do so much and feel dissatisfied if we did not achieve all we...

God, You know the struggles and temptations we have gone through. There were so many fights God, so many restless night. But with a heart of freedom and peace, I can say I am finally at rest.

Journey to the end of the earth   "You will be spiritually awakened, Work Your Way, the time has come."   This was a prophesy given to Work Your Way in Sydney, we didn't expect accurate it would be! How God works His way in the most unexpected times, how it unfolds as He has predestined by working in hearts of those who love him.    The First ten days in Fiji was spent in a rural community called Labasa at a YWAM base surrounded by rustling sugarcane plantations, scattered palm trees that eventually had to be climbed and uncharted...

Every once in a while, actually quite often I am brought to a halt, a complete standstill in awe of our Creator and of His creation. A cold night sleeping on the airport, He is there! Midnight running through mud in Kenya, a bucket shower for two to share, Selenge the eland is around somewhere but He is everywhere. Important to remember, but so easy to forget our Father is good and He always remains fair. I used to think that the only way to learn is when a teacher is standing in front of a blackboard, but now I...

Our time in Panama was quiet short: we only stayed 15 days in the country and we had 2 ministry point ! Our first contact was in Gamboa, a small village next to THE famous panama canal ! Before we arrived in Panama, we were hoping to see the impressive man-made canal that joins the Pacific to the Atlantic ocean. And God blessed us abundantly by having the canal next door to the church were we stayed ! Usually we would eat our meals outside and we would see those massive cargo-sheep passing without any noise on the back of...

Israel.    What can we say. Our lives were impacted. Impacted firstly because we came to know that we were not in Israel because we wanted to be, we were in Israel because God invited us to be there. In His holy land.    All of us experienced a walk with Jesus. His footsteps, our footsteps becoming one. We realized that none of us had the same experience, God personally came and met each one of us where we were at. Exactly when He wanted to and how He wished to do so.   Israel is really, truly the Holy...

"For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.” Romans 12:4-5 NKJV In Nepal Jesus took each of us as individual members of this family on an individual and personal journey. Each one of us as members of the body, unique and different had something else to learn in order to make the body as a whole stronger. This was a country with many memories, miracles and messages. For many of the team it was...
