Good day! Jerusalem was beautiful and it was special to see where Jesus was, but I honestly enjoyed Bethlehem, on the other side of the wall, more. At both stops, we did a lot of gardening. Goodness, I never thought there could be so many metaphors with pulling out roots of weeds. I started dreaming about it even. Luckily I love gardening and find it to be therapeutic. In Bethlehem we lived with three stunning nuns, who changed my pre-conceived idea about nuns. At all of the ministry points we have gone so far there have been extremely effective women....

This has been a hard and painful process, because I have been a young Christian with my own fixed ideas of who this God is. The biggest mistake I made was to try and box Him and His power in, with my small human mind. The first thing He showed me about His character is that I know nothing and that it is pointless to try and understand Him fully in His perfection. He showed me a fraction of Him and that, I am still processing. He showed me that He is faithful even though I am not. He answered...

I arrived in Fiji with a big excitement.   It is an excitement placed in me very early this year when our journey started. The island vibe hits you the minute you leave the plane whith the local band welcomes you with a lively island tune.   We got on a two and a half hour drive to labasa. We joined the YWAM base there and we where welcomed with joy. We pitched our tents and settled in. The next day our work started, and we took on our Daly task with joy and fellowship with the students and staff...

Learning to love differences.    I always took a lot of pride in believing I was a supporter of diversity. I have only now started realizing how deep the differences lay and how often we are offended, reason being this ignorance.   We did a temperament test a while a go, that changed my perception sooo much!   On that note,   Oh how I've learnt to love oblivion. One of the Love's sweetest way of loving us is to humble us. "There is in fact more to life than you know"    There is more to hope for. Once again...

WOW!!! GOD is indescribable. The last few weeks we have had an absolutely awesome time in Canada.. We have met a lot of new people and discovered how awesome the Canadian culture and people are..

Our team has grown so much in this little time and we are teaching each other and learning more and more who we are in Christ.. Our team has been blessed so much and we are so amazed by GOD'S faithfulness...

By God’s grace my journey continues. What an awesome gift from God – Guatemala!!!! This beautiful country and the people, have stolen my heart. I really enjoyed it so much! (As I would say….”Dis mal” )   We returned after three days. We worked very hard and were truly blessed. I was also baptized and YES!!! God did great things in my life. I can just share with you, that I don’t struggle with dyslexia anymore. This is a miracle!!! All praise only to God!! He has heard my cry and healed me! My mummy is overjoyed. This has been...

Wow wow wow ! To me this two weeks were all about learning more about faith. I had a few prophecies about me being a woman of faith and, oh, how God started to establish faith in my life and He is still busy and will always be! God will always provide, even in the small things, even in your desires. For example, we craved chocolates, juice, bread, ice cream and cookies, THEN a lady came and gave us a bag full of everything we wanted. Amazing !  I've learned to see God's hand in everything. There is definitely a...

Ever thought that you are in a stage in your life that is perfect? Maybe you thought “This is the place to be!” Well guess what... God has other plans, plans that are completely different from our plans and that is the topic I want to discuss today in my first blog ever. So here I am thinking I can only trust myself and rely on myself. I was (well I WAS) a guy who never asked for help from anyone when doing something, INCLUDING GOD ( BIG MISTAKE ). Life was great in the worlds eyes, but in Gods...
