Our first trip as a group...destination...Dar Es Salaam. We arrived at 04:00 and opted for a snooze on the airport...which is actually a pretty cool roof with a bunch of merchants snuggled under it. We rolled out the sleeping bags and slept like babies at the back of an adventure shop thing. Our travel teams soon became pro at bargaining. So here we are in Legho Hotel in the heart of this bustling city filled with friendly people. We had supper on the roof with a panoramic view of the city. We officially are backpackers on a mission. It creates...

Our team split up in groups of 3, went into the streets of Singapore and shared the love of Jesus. What a privilege to explore beautiful Singapore in this way. We went with the bare necessaties and trusted God for the rest! I'm not going to lie- It was definitely very challenging as we found that some people were very closed and cold toward us. 😬   I've learned a valuable lesson in the few days we spent in Singapore, after complaining to God about being uncomfortable while sharing the Good News.. God loves us soooo much and so deeply...

Giving your life to Christ can be so much fun!

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...

I can't describe how good God is to each one of us. (LUKE 10 JOURNEY)  I woke up with a different kind of joy than I ever have, and I just couldn't stop talking to God about this joy I was experiencing. This particular morning was unique, it was not ordinary. Almost as if it were a super supernatural day. It was quite unorthodox as nothing quite significant really had happened throughout the last 24 hours.  Sarah, Jo's wife whom was one of our people of peace, took me by the hand and said "market". I hopped onto the back of...

I decided to do a global journey because Jesus was not a priority in my life anymore. He became a back up plan for when things were not going right in my life and that needed to change. Last year I was working as an accountant. I did not love what I was doing at all and I became so frustrated thinking that this was something I was going to do for the rest of my life. This caused me to neglect my relationship with the Lord completely. I was depressed, frustrated and just miserable. One night I just cried...

I remember landing in Mumbai feeling very owerwhelmed, knowing in the back of my mind that we only have R1500 in our budget for five days in India, a layover that truly caught us by surprise. The R1500 was needed for accommodation, transport and food for nine people. So we started our journey, first making our way through customs and soon to the streets of Mumbai, carrying our 20-23kg bags, walking to the very cheap accommodation our travel team has booked for us. We were not walking very long when God's provision already showed up in the form of two...

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...

Panama + America = Panamerica Panama country number 7 in a life changing/ molding trip of a life time.   We arrived in the Canal Zone town of Gamboa on a bus that was paid for by a man from Belgium who heard about us from Pastor Bill (our host) and decided with out meeting us he would like to sponsor all the transport we needed while in Panama. What a blessing!   Pastor Bill was waiting for us with his wife Anne and faithful Carmelita (their Maltese poodle), with open arms and huge smiles.   The Canal zone (...

When I started with Global Challenge I said: I am giving up a year of my life to serve God and to work for Him. I am honestly sick and tired of that mindset! This is not "just one year". This is part of life. Giving up and over to God is not needed for just one year. It's not like: Wow okay I give up one year and then I can live the rest of my life in the way I have planned. NO! I don't just give one year. I lay down my whole life. It's not just one...
