"Oh Lord, let's sit on the highest mountain." I want you to touch my eyes and open them to the nations. There are so many, but so little time. You look at me with an expression on your face implicating that I have to give more thought to my previous statement. Time? Time is a man-made concept . ''My love, you've got all the time in the whole world, because the world is mine and I give it to you. The world and the nations are your inheritance." Psalm 2:8 "Look.'' He pointed over the nations. ''What do you see?''...

Work your way is still alive and well. We are running a project in India to help an orphanage to build a kitchen and toilets for them. If we have enough money we would like to build a wall for them. The wall is so that the orphanage can house boys and girls. There are 20 boys in the orphanage and 1 toilet for all of them. They have to make fire in the kitchen at the moment, the smoke is very bad for the people that is working there.

 

Donations are more than welcome, in fact please donate. :) There is going to be a Work Your Way blog that explains everything in detail. Go check it out. Thanks for all the donations thus far.

Gracias Cuba  You welcomed us with open arms,just to be here was a blessing, meeting people, making friends,fellowship with the young people learning Spanish. What I learned in Cuba it's that its important to have a relationship with God and the people. Jesus is asking do you love me?If you do then feed my lambs,take care of my sheep. So my time in Cuba was about fellowship with the body of Christ and with unbelievers so that thy can be drown to God's Love. And we saw that.  

At 12- midnight our travelday began On a 9 hour busride from Rwanda to Uganda we set off.  Sleepy heads swaying side to side. A popping sound of a tire awakens us. Friends piggybackride eachother into the dark to do 'short call'  12- midnight again we were off to India. 12- noon we left the airport, not aware of the adventure that awaited us.  So we set forth with a limited budget, 20 kgs on our backs with a day bag in the front. Minds set on the dormitory 3km from the airport. Trying to stay strong, the humid and...

I am tired of fighting with my flesh! My flesh is so strong. I really understand the verse: The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak - Matt. 26:41. I will sit in a praise and worship session and struggle to get myself to enter into God's presence. I know I want to be there, I know I will meet God there, but it takes so much effort to get there. I am so tired of it! I just want my flesh to die now! I am tired of failing in laying myself down and keep on serving others....

A rising sun I found    glimpses shimmering on the horizen, the future Lao I found in the eyes of the nation Deep into the nation we went not yet deep in our harts it is now The music beats on and we travel to a new sun Confusing thoughts presist as the faces pass by  Life here now continues as on this bench my head sadly lie.   The Lao people truely touched my heart. Yes, this massive family church and their joyful way of life, amidst the oppression, touched a part of my heart I never knew I...

Well, I guess some people will like to hear about our camel ride in the shadows of Giza's pyramids, or maybe something about what the Nile river looks like, but Egypt confronted me with something a little more significant. It came in the form of a question that was placed on my heart during our last couple of days, and it sounds something like this: When last has 'going to church ' been a decision of laying down your life in order to experience just a little bit more of Him? And when I say "laying down your life," I'm...

Going to Nepal I felt like I was taken back to the Bible time. When you read about golden idols that people made and worshipped you don't really comprehend the intensity of it untill you see it for youself. Here I found 100 meter tall Hindu god statues on mountain tops covering Nepal with a dark atmosphere. The people of Nepal is 80% hindu. And in the Hindu culture they literally have millions of gods. My heart broke for these people worshipping their dead gods, but the good news is that the Lord is moving in Nepal. We connected with...

As a team we are all starting to realize that we are moving towards the end of our 1 year journey. Rice has become our comfort food and we can probably write a book on all the jokes we made about it. The idea of any ending makes me feel sad, but where there is a beginning there is obviously an ending. It's a repeating cycle we constantly face and we always make such a big deal about it!  What I have realized is that the closer you get to the end, any ending, the more you would want it...

So when you're traveling and don’t have a planned destination or any idea of how you're gonna get there, the best thing to do is just wing it! That’s what we did in the middle east, hitchhiking  from one place to another and sleeping in abandoned buildings and weird beaches, asking soldiers for water and eating rice with way to much salt and then with way to little salt. We were eating too much chocolates and bread (that we got from nuns) and just generally getting to know each other more, building relationship together chatting about life and living the...
