Trusting God It's been a while since I have blogged, so I apologize.. There has been so many awesome things happening to me this year, I have had to just stop trying to do things myself which is very difficult to do and just let GOD take over.. We were watching the sun set over Jerusalem and I was listening to a song called Grace, and something just shifted inside of me and I realized that I don't deserve anything that I have and that it is only by the grace and mercy of God that I...

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...

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 ...

A few weeks ago, team Explore Africa went on our first journey together. A road trip to Cape Town from Jeffrey's, to get our Schengen visas. Looking back, what a beautiful tale it turned into - the trial, and more profoundly, the triumph. Our plan was simple and easy and we seemed pretty prepared for it all. - Make a team video along the way and get it out there. ( YouTube: Explore Africa 2016 - Global Challenge) - Spontaneously stop at Map of Africa (Wilderness), which would prove symbolic of this and future adventures - unpredictable - Braai...
The kingdom of Thailand, a place full of clean streets, lush vegetation, blue skys and friendly people. After being in India and Nepal for the past couple months this place seems like paradise. But after peering a little closer you can see that this beautiful country has a host of its own problems. Shortly after we arrived here our team split up into two. I was on the team to Takua Pa along with Riaan, Tiaan, Lize-Marie, Robynne, and Dedré. We stayed with a local pastor helping him to renovate and organize his house. Since the tsunami he's worked...
Who knew that this would happen? God has intensely shaped every heart and used this time to cast vision, detox, and challenge every heart's desire that's not in line with His will. God calls a pure and holy bride to rise up and walk in His provision. We have been blessed in so many ways by God who just provides. This week we were helping out at GLA. God provided roughly R24000 in 5 days to help build this school. Our benchmark is R30000 and we know God will provide the rest. When God casts a vision Hen I'll complete...
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.
"However far the stream flows, it never forgets its source" -- Yoruba proverb As soon as the plane lifted, I missed it. I longed for it. I thirsted for it. And then I placed it aside, because 8 more months was waiting for me and I needed to let it go... Africa, my beautiful Africa. Africa, the place where time does not matter, where earthly possessions has little to do with worth, where smiles are highlighted white, where laughter is the universal language, where grown ups dance and children run, rivers flow and skies become alive. It was in a...
15 Maart 2017 Adventure bound We are a team and our adventure has finally begun. Adventure bound exists out of 6 girls living life together for 4 months. It is so exciting and so much fun. The Lord really blessed us with an amazing house. This journey is going to be amazing, but I know that it is going to stretch me and challenge me in many ways. An area in which I know I have to grow a lot in is time managment. I am not aware of time and I know that it can be frustrating for people...
With open arms you greeted Me. Without any hesitance you showed me your beauty. It was better than I have ever imagined. With Pride you showed your wide open planes, misty mountains and roaring thunder in the far distance. You touched my heart and changed Me. You revealed all of your Jewels. The roughest, unsmoothed jewels in the ghetto’s and unreached places. They are being smoothed out by Him to become the biggest and most precious stones, hidden from the world yet continuing to do the same that was done to them. You revealed your heart, your deepest cuts, and...
Right in the center of God's will is where I want to be! On the 9th of January I came to Jeffrey's bay for the global challenge training, with the thought of doing Northbound this year, I was so convinced that God wants me to do it, Because last year before I applied I got few scripture that guided me to global challenge. But with no finances for the journey, I took a step of faith and trust God that He will provide because He wants me to go on this journey. So 2weeks of training went by and...
