Have you ever had the experience where you’re thinking about something and then you realize, how can you think that you are thinking about something? Wow , what an amazing feeling. Scary but incredible. Every time that I find myself thinking about something, I just stand in awe of the absolute majestic feeling of being able to think and the idea of that just numbs me to stop and think... The scary thing about life is that we are so busy and when we’re not busy we are busy making plans for being busy. Just thinking about this idea makes me...

It all happened 18 years ago, when God touched my heart and I decided to serve Him and He placed in it love for those who have not yet experienced His grace. I remember exactly that day when God called me. I read Psalm: 138: 8 which says "The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands" (KJV). Since then I clung more to Him knowing that He would guide my way. My calling: THE MISSIONS I grew up with biblical teachings and studies, I worked...
This next 3 weeks is going to be great! I can only say 3 weeks because I have no idea what is going to happen in the forth. But I bet you the forth week is also going to be something amazing. This week we are going to eat on a budget of R12 per day per person. Nice! Die 2 weeks after that, we are going to Transkei. We are going to put up fences, paint and rebuild a school. We do not have a budget for this project. If you want to help us by making a donation...
It's so easy to go to bed when you do it every night. It's so easy to relax on a couch when it awaits you in your living room. It's so easy to wash your hands when there is a basin readily available. It's so easy to pour yourself something nice when it's cooling off in the fridge. It's so easy to take a hot shower and get into fresh clothes when you have a cupboard full of options. It's so easy to snack when you're not even hungry if there are goodies in the pantry. It's so easy to live...
When we arrived at Jeffrey's Bay on the 1st of June, we felt we had lost opportunities of adventure and experiencing Jesus in the nations- because we came back home six months too early. We were hit by the harsh reality of covid-19 regulations, being unable to greet our global community whom we last saw at the beginning of March. One thing we re-discovered is that we need to be more flexible and that God is using us in ways we couldn't have planned for or even imagined. We had to let Jesus drive while we followed in the passenger...
Jesus was the only self-sufficient man to ever live, yet He chose to live, travel and minister with community. This means there is something special about family. Since Adam and Eve left the garden, the whole story of scripture has been about a family on the move. And so, this is a story about the forming of a new family, undergoing training and being equipped for a very special journey. The one thing that stands true for this family is that we did not chose each other…but God certainly chose us to be together. Two months ago we...
Every good blog needs at least one or more movie quotes and references. When Captain Jack Sparrow was asked the question how he was able to escape a desert island, after being marooned their by his mutinous crew, with only one pistol and one shot, he simply responded with:"you forgot one very important thing mate, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow." During our Luke 10, the part in the Bible where seventy people where send out by Jesus to preach the Gospel but they are not allowed to take anything with them, our leaders "marooned" us us in Swaziland and told...

The city of speedbumps filled with skeleton structures kite decorated skies and strawberries on the sides, the smell of shawarmas hanging in the air and falafels that you can find everywhere. Experiencing the joy of kids in the midts of their circumstances, slowly steeling our hearts as they share their past. Drinking bitter coffee while suppressing our expressions, miming out conversations and sharing our traditions. Sharpening our ping pong skills but still losing against the locals, ending the days sharing some laughters sunsets and kanafeh playing monopoly and drinking coffee. Where strangers became friends and friends became family on a...
