We went to Johannesburg as our first ministry point. Going into Johannesburg I wasn’t prepared for all the things God would do in my life and the promises he would make for Johannesburg.   In Johannesburg I had the privilege to get to know the people within the city and I had a chance to work with the real gold of the city, the people.   God made it very clear through multiple prophecies that He has REVIVAL in store for Johannesburg. God also miraculously healed me from ADD. On the contrary to what I was expecting of Johannesburg, the...

There is an importance, and incredible value, in sharing with a group, whether it’s your family or a homecell group. There is something amazing that happens when we share what we are thankful for with each other and when we share our stories and testimonies with each other. It’s important to live in a community where we can trust each other and open up. In Bali I discovered the importance of a group. You always hear about how important it is to be part of a group where you are able to open up, and feel safe doing so, but...

Hi there ! My name is Jana Nel, I am 22 years old and my hometown is in Johannesburg. I studied law for 4 years and I have been waiting about 4 years to start my Global Journey with Jesus. I am so happy that 2020 is finally the year to travel, serve and love the nations, although I do not believe that these things happen only in the nations, we can love and serve wherever we find ourselves. I am looking forward to cultivate a lifestyle of simplicity and freedom with Jesus, getting re-rooted into what really matters. So...

My team and I served at aftercare for kids. There I met the lady, Aunty Waai, who runs the aftercare and who is also a proud grandmother.   Her passion and eagerness to pray for physical healing caught my attention. One of the very first conversations I had with her she testified about how her one of her prayers was to be healed from cancer and how God has answered her. She prayed with such persistence and perseverance which stirred a desire in my own heart for having faith as strong as she has. the time she spent in the...

  “ I will be to Israel like a refreshing dew from heaven. Israel will blossom like the lily; it will send roots deep into the soil like the cedars in Lebanon. ” - Hosea 14:5 (NLT)   Over the past few days God has been stirring my heart regarding what it means to be a lily of the valley for him. The beauty of this flower is that it grows and blossoms even in tough conditions. The lily of the valley is a simple, humble flower yet its scent is strong and sweet. That makes me wonder how it’s possible...

"I will make Jerusalem like an intoxicating drink that makes the nearby nations stagger when they send their armies to besiege Jerusalem and Judah. On that day I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock. All the nations will gather against it to try to move it, but they will only hurt themselves." (Zech 12:2-3)   I might be quoting out of context, but I can assure you that the world is still swooped up in an attempt to drink every last drop of this "intoxicating" city! We've recently had the privilege of walking its streets and meeting its people, and...

On our way to Hogsback, our hearts and spirits were excitedly imagining what adventure lay ahead and what our new ministry point would entail. After driving through the beautiful mountains, we parked next to a cozy cottage surrounded by natural forestry and a view looking out at the hogsback mountains. We were welcomed by our host and shown to our camp site. Welcome to the Bush, and back to basics. We settled into our tents and snuggled in our warm sleeping bags, the sound of the tent zips hinting to outdoor adventure. We are bonding as a newly grouped team,...

  I think one of the best things to hear is your own name being called out. There is an automatic mindset of feeling important without even doing something. Somebody   is recognizing me... This is probably how Moses felt when God called him from the burning bush “God called to him from within the bush “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am” (Exodus 3:4). Just imagine that feeling of being called by the Creator of the universe. The funny thing is Moses did not know what he got himself into but that is the beautiful thing of being “called.”...

Brazil Journey It is hard to capture the journey of Brazil in a blog like this. Climbing a mountain...that sums it up pretty well. Let me add a bit of meat to that dry statement. I am going to do this in point form.   #Brazil was spiritually heavy# It felt like I was on a battlefield in a spiritual war. I do not know how I can explain this. You had to be there to understand. There were days I could not sleep, because I felt like I was being watched. I had nightmares worse than my greatest fears...

From the day that I decided to join Global, I knew I was never going to be the same again. But I did not realize that I will change this fast. I always thought that I was a good Christian and that I knew God quite well. But it feels like the moment when I stepped into the Global World God just smiled at me and said "Okay cool, but look over here. I bet you did not experience this before." He is always willing to show more of Him to you. That is exactly what He did to me....
