Cuba V1

Cuba V1
First impressions and getting there My first impressions of Cuba was when we landed at the airport, while waiting to go to immigration an old movie was playing (it looked as if it came from the 50's) with subtitles in Spanish that has been redone since you can see the old subtitles blurred out like in a bad pirated movie. The next funny moment was as I were going through security after immigration, all the security and airport personal woman wore miniskirts and fishnet stockings, I had to try very hard to keep my laughter in. The country itself is...

China (Made in China)

China (Made in China)
Northbound (Our team) went to China after Russia. We were on the Trans-Siberian train for 4 days and used the great opportunity to reflect on our busy time in Russia. We arrived in Beijing at the main train station and was shocked to see so many thousands of people. It was very hot and the smog (low hanging smoke) was very bad. We couldn't go out of our hostel without returning wet because of the heat. Beijing In Beijing we could get physically and spiritually ready for our time in China. We ate in restaurants all the time because it...

Sharing stories in Colombia:

Sharing stories in Colombia:
Sharing stories in Colombia Just a quick testimony of how awesome God is in teaching us what he wants to teach us, when he wants to teach us, and using whatever he wants to, to show things to us. If you read my previous blog, I shared a bit about reading a book and then, after God showed me a few things through that, I started to focus a bit more on giving over and having fun, instead of over-complicating everything or being too serious all the time. He showed me that, amongst other things, he placed us on this...

Indonesia – God's glory in a collection of Islands

Indonesia – God's glory in a collection of Islands
  I apologize for taking so long to put this blog up. The couple of weeks have been quite challenging and we as a team experienced a lot of ups and downs. This made it difficult to look back on this time and to put everything that happened and everything that we experienced into words. From being in Padang, on the Island of Sumatra with our visitors (Arthur and Ashleigh's mothers and Paul and Clara from Global Challenge leadership), to flying to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and doing a Challenge there with the Work Your Way guys. Then spending little over...

Come and let us build a puzzle... (we went on a Luke 10 journey)!

Come and let us build a puzzle... (we went on a Luke 10 journey)!
Our Luke 10 journey in Ecuador...where do I start? What do I say? You see, I feel like I’m a five year old, standing in front of a wall sized puzzle, trying to chose one single piece to describe. It is like having the menus of Mac Donald’s , KFC, Burger King, Subway and Cinnabon in front of you and you have to decide on one favourite meal! So, with that said, please understand that there is so much more to this testimony than I could ever try and blog about…because this is about God! I mean the Limitless, All-knowing,...

The power of prayer in Morocco

“If people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land” 2 Chronicles 7:14   Morocco bursts with colour, flavour, sounds, people and culture. It catches you by surprise if you don’t prepare yourself, but is this a case of being careful not to judge a book by its covers? With statistics such as a 99% Muslim population and having laws prohibiting evangelising, makes one wonder what is going on in...
