We helped at a church in their gardens. It was fun and everything went well and normal for a day then it happened again, God blessed us out of our minds. The Church said we can borrow their van. We had transport to all the places we wanted to see. Because we had a car so we were on the other side this time. We picked up hitchhikers and gave people lifts. We then picked up a woman from Germany. She loved to travel with us; she stayed with us for 3 nights: From the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea. She bought us food some times and made sure we ate healthier. I think we bombarded her with so much truth that she has to come to Christ soon.

 

Sometimes we have a hardened heart against certain groups of people, for some rich people it will be against the poor and homeless; even some races have hardened hearts toward each other. This all causes conflict, hate, judgement, etc.   That makes it difficult to serve and love people like Jesus loves them. I fully understand why people are like that. It is a hardening of our hearts over a long period of time, a sense of being better another group of people, being above them.   There are many varying causes to this:   history, wrong belief systems, cultural...

Always smiling. Always happy to see us. Waving with pure excitement. The people's unconditional love for us was really something to experience.   God blessed us with an amazing time in Anafora. We worked hard; digging holes, building fences, chiseling pictures into a wall and much more. We spent a lot of time with some of the people working with us, getting to know them although we couldn't speak each others languages. We laughed a lot.   We had a prayer meeting in the church every night at 8. It was amazing. We sang together and then we read a...

The Christian life is not a play ground it is a battle ground. My battle is not agents flesh and blood but against the spiritual enemy whom apposes me so I will draw the battle line and face my enemy with a bold determination. Even when it hits me to my knees I will not let it keep me there. I will keep on fighting keep on moving for I do not draw my strength from my body of flesh but from the spirit of God that lives inside me and still have the same power that raised Jesus from...

Kenya I really do  not know how I can explain what has happened these past few weeks. To put this into words is quite a challenge for me. Part of our descriptions of traveling this year was to get outside of our comfort zones- so, challenge accepted! Here I go... In Kenya, I received a large slap in the face when I realized level of difficulty was actually a large . It was like a battlefield. An "inner battle" I would call it. I feel like I went through a mid-life crisis- twenty years too early in my life. I...

Peru ### AN IMPORTANT VALUE LEARNED #### %( PART 1 )% Finances is a personal topic. We are all ashamed to talk about it, especially if you are a Christian. @ How are we going to use our money? @ What should we buy and what not? @ How much should we give to the church ? @ Should we give our money to the poor ? @ Should we give our money to a NGO ? @ Should we take out a loan form the bank ? @ Should we spend our money on luxuries ? These are the...

My biggest challange this year but alo my biggest revelation was how to share Jesus when I am not allowed to say His name. Are actions powerful enough to convey Jesus? How do I show people Jesus in a place where I am not allowed to freely say His name? These are questions that I was struggling with for quite some time. I am a person that enjoys speaking to other people about many things, especially Jesus. That is the only way I have ever conveyed Jesus...through always speaking about Him. So when I got into a country where I...

Giving your life to Christ can be so much fun!

6 months of traveling, 8 countries, 2 continents...   This year has been filled with different cultures, colourful people, beautiful landscapes, laughter and tears, interesting food, fellowship, family and valuable lessons that could never be bought but only come from a journey with Jesus.   We have seen prayers answered, bodies healed, hearts that have encountered Jesus and seen Jesus working in our own hearts.   Here is a reflection of our time up until now:   China: Here we built relationship with students that attend university through teaching them English. When words were not allowed Jesus taught us the...

Heal the brokenhearted and set the captives free. What an instruction! Pondering upon this quest, contemplating whether I will be able to do it or not; a still voice gently reminds me of how incapable I actually am to do this. I can not in my own strength nor with my own words heal and set free.   I am so humbled by the fact of how incredibly useless we are as human but still our beautiful God choose to use us and makes us bearers of His Light and Glory. What an amazing privilege! We are able to freely...
