It's time to experience the heart capturing India for yourself. Work Your Way went to India for about a month to serve at Immanuel Orphanage on the outskirts of Delhi. Our whole team experienced something new about God in this country. One of these things would definitely be to find the love and compassion He has for children all over the world. If this video gets your heart pumping a bit faster for the children of the nations, then maybe God is calling you for Children Ministries? Even though we went to teach them, I can say with out a...

Uncertain future, certain God.
Our journey back to South Africa was undoubtedly paved by the hand of the Father. The moment we heard the seriousness of Corona, we as teams were called to meet together at a central place in Brazil - a house in the mountains near a very small town. ...
Led to Lead
I'm leading a team this year! In less than four years God has come and radically changed my life for the better. I believe that each and every single one of us are led to lead. In other words Christ leads us to lead others to him. What a privil...
Would you jump with me?
I remember standing at the edge of a cliff. Looking out at the big wide blue ocean. Looking down and seeing a beautiful scary blue unknown. My heart pounding in my chest like the sound of an epic climactic drum solo. Should I jump? Should i let go of...
Into the nations
Hello, my name is Johan Bruwer. I am on the brink of a 10-month journey where I will see and be a part of the establishment of God’s kingdom in the nations. I believe that the great commission is not an option to be considered, but it is a command to...
Discovering God
After finishing a blog on how God changed my mindset, about things I did not like doing and showing me other wise, I was not convinced that that was what I was supposed to share. After some amazing teachings this past few days and spending some...

WOW! We are currently in Koh Chang, an island in the north of Thailand (on the opposite side of Phuket), where we are serving at the local community centre and the only Christian church on the island! Just before we got here, we were in Trat for a few days we took our first official faith journeys as colour groups!

This morning we had an Easter Sunday service at a garage in...
Dear friends and family. After our mi_istry in Cameroon its time to travel again. But this was the roughest and toughest this year till now but also personally the most enjoyable, well parts of it. If the terms 4wd and mud gets your adrenalin going then this is for you. After our time in Yaounde it was time to head for Nigeria. We stopped over in Bafousam for two nights. Had the opportunity to shortly speak to all the church leaders from the western province at a conference, and also had a long time slot for an interview at a...
This blog is a bit different from the other “recent posts”, I know… but this morning I woke up with a heart that just wants to overflow unto my laptop buttons! Who am I, and where am I? I’m an ex-Global Challenger from last year that is sitting in my hometown, in an on-campus residence room, studying, like everyone else around me! I am a girl that tasted the life of a crazy backpacker living out Jesus to strangers all over South- and Central-America, that came back to the normal life of a university student. So that’s me, but here’s...
Northbound with Bronwyn and Clara excited to have a feast of Doner Kebaps in Adana . Dear Friends and Family! I apologize for the extended silence on my behalf, as well as not being able to finish the blog yesterday. Adana was an extremely blessed time for Northbound! We enjoyed the time spent in serving and having fellowship with the church members tremendously! All glory and honour to God for providing the funding and means for us to visit Adana. Even having grace with the 15kg per bag weight limit for our flight, what a miracle seeing that we were almost 20kg overweight...

I guess when God gives you a vision for something.. It’s because HE wants to do something... Even though it sound absurd, obeying might just blow your mind.. So middle 2012 I had to raise money for my journey in 2013 from SCRATCH.. God gave me an idea to make about 1000 matchboxes with my details and the following slogan.. “Take a matchbox and help me lighten a dark world with God’s light..” I didn’t think that God was literal about it.. So I handed out these boxes, spreading it all around and trusting that God would open people’s hearts...
Nuestro tiempo en Brasil fue muy especial , Dios nos permitió conocer varias personas y familias cristianas para compartirles la vision y el trabajo que se va a realizar en el Peru el proximo año.
