Usually when we land into a new country, we are always a little bit lost on the airport, not really knowing where to go for the first minute, and then we organize ourself. Our landing to Kingston, Jamaica's capital was very special. Someone was waiting for us, and directed us to a VIP lounge, where we waited for the Pastor to come and pick us up... We had free coffee and soft drinks, what a blessing ! Later, we learned that the Pastor is also involved with the crew of the airport, that explained this special threat ! The next...

Notre séjour au Panama était vraiment court, mais certainement un des plus actif: Nous étions dans le pays pour quinze jours seulement, mais avions deux point d'accueil ! Notre premier stop était à Gamboa, un village au bord du célèbre Canal de Panama ! Avant d'entrer dans le pays, nous espérions être en mesure de voir cette impressionnant canal qui rejoint l'océan Pacifique à l'Atlantique et Dieu nous à permit de loger dans une église avec vue sur le canal ! En général nous partagions nos repas à l'extérieur de l'église et nous avions cette incroyable vu sur ses énormes...

The year started with an awesome survival camp in the bush for one week. It was a good but hard experience! After survivor blessing.   We had a lot of teachings and sermons on how to evangelize. The one and only Work Your Way team got the privilege to build a tire swing for the children at Itemba in J-bay. It was loads of fun and great to invest time and effort in the community. Then we heard the news that we are going on a 2 week mission in the Transkei. One week in Coffee bay and one week in Canzibe. The first...

Jesus is the mystery. God says Jesus is a mystery. a Mystery is not easy to solve. I think God intended it to be a mystery for us ,because he does not want us to stop to get to know Jesus. He wants us to step into relationship with Him ,he wants to solve the mystery with us.. We are trained from a young age to learn how to do things on our own. But in a relationship with God He wants to do everything with us. My friendship with Jesus is mostly about religion and not relationship. When I...

We humans have very little moments where we feel totally completed. Totally satisfied with where we are or what we are doing with our lives, Cuba is no different - here people dream about travelling and doing all the things their Communist country does not allow them to, therefore moments like these should be written about. This is one of those moments. I am sitting on the back of what might seem like a cattle truck (Cuban taxi) on our way back from giving word at the Cuban seminary. Tonight I sit in total content with a smile on my...

Australia what a Country.   I can understand why so many of South Africans would consider it a home.   But, more than that we have met the culture of farmers and life stock managers. A family of 11 siblings 8 are still staying with their mother. This is where I have learned more of what selfless living really is, always looking out for others. In this home we started every day with the Psalms and discussion of GOD'S love, grace and power. And even more than that, this family lived it out, the word of GOD. I could not...

God will always meet you at that crossroad... where you are, breaking down feeling unworthy or maybe not, maybe you are even standing there in awe. In wonder of who He is, what you have done and His grace that is just sweeping over in. It does not even matter where you are at, He will meet you there. I have learned that I have always put my identity in what I have done like the lost son feeling unworthy but God, man...God is just so amazing and He is my identity speaker, speaking into my life, speaking truth, speaking...

As   I was admiring the waters on which Jesus calmed a storm with a few words, the Holy spirit reminded me of when Peter walked on the water to Jesus.   Staring at the peaceful waters of the sea of Galilee, admiring the hills from afar.. This is where Peter had to let go of his fears, doubts, worries, anxieties and just trust. He stepped out of that boat on to that water and walked toward Jesus. He had to keep his eyes fixed on Jesus and just trust that He won't let him drown. Imagine.. Realizing you have...

A certain individual once said :" It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one". I agree , but I also know that the inheritance and intimacy and love you receive , if you choose to follow Christ whole haertedley, is much better than enjoying the earthly pleasures and the "braai" in hell at the end of time. So I made the more logical decision a time back , and decided to follow Christ. And I'm loving it and Him every step of the way !!! The sheltered environment Global challenge creates , is excellent for...

The world turned upside, not because it changed, because JESUS changed me. Scriptures, prophecies, dreams, direct words from God, these were all part of God's plan to set my soul on fire and make me burn with hunger for more of Him. Thank You Jesus, for none of this was my own doing, but by Your grace alone.  The result of God's plan:  Face down I laid.  Dumbstruck,  flabbergasted and paralysed. Praising God. Silently crying out in desperation. For what God reveled to me, changed my life. For the first time I saw. Before I only heard and knew of...
