Stepping into Panama, I became accutely aware of what it takes for my lungs to inhale for long enough that sufficiant amounts of air may enter my body. And now, after my visit in Panama, I realize, this is how dependant we must be on God's Love. Not only God's Love for ourselves, but more importantly, God's Love IN us, to freely give to others.

I used to think that to expand the Kingdom, I have to reach as many people as possible, but now I know that it is much more effective( and more the Jesus way)  to disciple people in such a way that they can disciple faithful people who can disciple others.  Did you know that if a single head of wheat is left to reproduce in the perfect conditions for 7 years, it will feed the entire world population for a whole year?  Is possible for the church to multiply like this head of wheat?  I just don't think Jesus is...

What a blessing to already feel so at home with all the global challengers of 2015! We've had some crazy adventures (and challenges) already! From being in the bush for a few days and just chilling with Jesus in His beautiful creation to amazing teachings and mind blowing grace! Today had the great priviledge of meeting some of the global leadership academy students and can't wait to get to know the girls better!! Watch this space for testimonies of just how amazing our Father is!!!

Loas, crazy buddhists new year, exotic food and ice coffee. This is some of the things that make Laos unique. We had the privilege to work with the youth of Loas, hosting two youth camps.  Teaching English, guitar and leadership skills.  Got to hear amazing testimonies and minister at a human trafficing centre. But the hidden secret was really the people of Loas. They blessed us so much. The church mostly underground went out of their way to serve us. Most of them taking annual leave to host us. The relationships we build was solid based on Jesus love. ....

Well its been quite some time since i wrote, but only because it is so difficult to put my experience into words.. Over the past 5 months we have been traveling in brazil, guyana, suriname, jamaica, cuba, panama and now colombia. It has been an incredible journey so far with many, many, many challenges. God has really gotten to the bottom of our hearts challenging our way of thinking, of doing, how we make our decisions and coming to that place where you have nothing else to depend on than Him( which is the most scariest area i have journeyed...

I saw the face of Jesus in a little orphan girl...

Jai masih ki! (I greet you in the name of Christ) Northbound spent our lay-over in Hong Kong. Taking a bus into the city, doing window shopping and spending time with the locals was a great way to start the journey! We arrived in New Delhi at 03:00 am and arranged for 3 local taxis to take us (and the backpacks) to the main bazaar. What a country! We spent the first 4 days in Delhi getting settled into the ‘Indian way’ of doing things. Taking hose showers, eating samoosas and chapattis, enjoying the aircon in the metro and experiencing...

I dont write poetry, but when i do... not the best at writing. Moments of inspiration dont come  alot so bare with me. All of this aside this is a piece of heart i wish to share. Wrote this on the way Fiji. Here we go...   Night turns and tosses as a restless sea in pursuit nowhere Deep blue too deep black,  into the unknown He plunges to fill up the void of light.   Night just couldn't decide wether to seize the Day or see what Day may hold.  Something about him so luring and joyful,  O how...

Life is a collection of moments. My collection has grown considerably within the last month. Some moments were definitely easier than others physically, emotionally and mentally. "Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand." -Isaiah 41:10 My inner being has been shaked and my "self" mindset broken down. When, and it happened quite quickly, my own strength failed God stepped in and reminded me that there is no need to be afraid. He is, was...
