I can't do it   I will fail   It is only my imagination    Thoughts like these crossed my mind when we were told that we were going to prophesy over our team, the school and the community. I was really afraid, thinking what if I get a prophecy wrong. Then what? What if, because of that I will be the reason why people drift away from God.  What if I am the only one that does not hear God's voice?  What if it is only my imagination?  What if...?  What if...    What if because of my "what...

I'm in a different country with different habits surrounded by different cultures and beliefs as well as a language I don't understand. The one thing our people do have in common though is Tea. The people here love tea. I'm more of a coffee person myself. For them tea is a social event that has to take place numerous times a day. I've had so much tea now that if I were to be a cup, I'd be bottomless. Once I put my cup down, they take it as a signal that they should pour more tea into the cup....

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....

Warm or cold. Cats or dogs. English or Arabic. Busy or relaxed. Happy people or sad people. Do I want to go back afterwards or never again. I had no idea what to expect when I heard that we were going to Egypt. Is it going to be different? Yes! Well...There are a lot more cats🐈 The people there blowed my mind away on many different occasions and everything was just amazing. We lived at a place called Anafora and we met many beautiful hearted people. I truly enjoyed spending time with them, even while we where working and building...

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...

  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.”...

So we've finally made it to our first destination, the ancient nation of Egypt. Where thankfully there are no plagues at this time of the year. We were very warmly welcomed by the hosts of Anafora, who consists of a team of the most welcoming people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Immediately upon arrival we were fed the most delicious traditional Egyptian food and given warm beds. We are blessed enough to work with an incredibly friendly man named Nasar (as also indicated by his tattoo on his hand) , who also does not speak a single word...

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...

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 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...
