  48 People, millinons of dreams,loads of expectations and ONE misssion: to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the world...and it all starts at basecamp. basecamp started with a big bang! One of the combies broke down on the way to J-bay and some of the team members found out with a big suprise that they would be sleeping on the ground, as they forgot their mattrasses. Even though there were a few hick ups to start with, it has not bring our spirit down! So what is basecamp? Basecamp is where you go back to basics, where we get...

Traveling is fun and seeing the monument and wonder of the world is something that everybody has the chance to do. I enjoy that part of the journey as well, but there is something I realized by going to places like this. There are 2 big groups of wonder to see. The one is "man made." This is a human mind that thought about something and humans that created it. (e.g. Taj Mahal & Pyramids) Sure it is big and must have taken a long time to make,  it has a significance, but for me it is just missing something.

We couldn't understand what the big deal was about, saying Global is a challenge. We were so spoilt there, that we soon realized it is simply impossible that we are that nice. God really blessed us so much! We believe God made us look shiny and nice, because really, we hardly ever bought our own food.   They taught us how to serve without an agenda. Their dedication towards God's work is amazing, for them it truly is God first and family second. It was inspirational! And the love of Christ just flows through them. They have servant hearts, loving...

 

Signs everwhere, insanely tall buildings, crowded streets, people hurrying, cantonese characters, lots of lights...

This entry is very late but due to limited time, I have not been able to blog for a while, but boy oh boy was China the most challenging.

When i look back at Jordan it might seem dry and sad and full of heart break, but when i look back at Jordan with Jesus in it i see fulness, lessons learned and hope.  Yes, Jordan did break my heart. Listening to stories about families losing families. Children and their hopeless futures, having so much to offer yet so little opportunity. Love lost and no love found.  One of my dear friends said the following: “it’s not what they’re going through or in what situation they find themselves, but that they’re going through it without Jesus.”  When i take...

She sinned much therefore she loved much. How do you wrap your mind around this? When we have struggels we can have more empathy with those that are also struggeling. When we are aware of our own weakness and vulnerability,we can love more unconditionally without trying to fix the other person. Jesus is busy transforming my thinking about everything, mostly to being open towards brokeness and vulnerability. I tend to run away from my flaws and insecurities, but Jesus wants me to run to it, to embrace it and bring it to Him. He wants me to embrace myself and...

I sit on the porch of a big, white house and when I look through the windows, it is unfurnished and collecting dust. As I look out over the expanse of the land, it almost seems like too much to harvest and care for by myself. It needs new fences, because the old ones are not doing their job anymore- they weren't properly built and the gate is nearly falling off. As I sit, I look at the chair next to me; at the moment, all that sits in this chair is a box filled with hopes, dreams, fears, insecurities...

2018, was a year I’ll never forget. It was filled with moments and people that will never leave my heart.   I am looking back on 2018 with nothing but joy and thankfulness. It was a year of changing, letting go and seeking Jesus in every way possible. I found truth. I learned to live to love. I learned to be content with where God has me, good or bad.   I learned that sometimes it takes really hard seasons in life to get where God has you going.   I’m dancing into 2019 with Jesus, my best friend, my...

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.
