When I think of Guatemala, I think of Chicken Busses (explenation will follow later), colourful markets, language chaos due to lack of Spanish skills and the story of Ben, the pastor.
Let me give you a better idea of what I am talking about...

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...

Hidden World in The World
And just like that we were saying our good bye's and getting on a plane, watching South Africa disappear beneath us and bidding it farewell for the next 8 months. Hidden World is officially in the nations. It still seems unreal to us. 8 weeks ago we ...

Emek Barak ( Valley of Blessing)........ That was the name of the Campsite in Bosnia I Herzegovina where we helped for 2 weeks at a teenager and youth camp. The Holy Spirit really moved in that place and I believe that ‘Emek Baraka’ was really a blessing for each person who visited the camps. I met so many believers with awesome testimonies of how God changed their lives completely. From being totally into drugs, some being alcoholics and one guy I met were in a mental institute because of drugs. I don’t even want to start with the war and...

Normal 0 21 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Hallo everyone! Sorry for being quiet for such a long time, but now I have a great story to tell. Well, we have been in Israel for 22 days, and how amazing it has been. Before I tell you about the challenge, I want to tell you (in short) about our time in Israel. We began by splitting the North team. The Silver team worked at a YWAM base in Bethlehem. The lime girls together with two of the blue team girls, helped at a school in Jerusalem. The rest of the...
Vyf hemde, ‘n bybel, toiletpapier Wat maak jy hier? Lê jou kop neer waar die vliegtuig opstyg Probeer drie bakke pap en rys in ryg In Narok moet jy ry soos jy lus kry Maak vas jou tas op die dak Maar later sal dit af sak Middernag hardloop deur die modder oor die veld Agterna die bus wat die dood net-net mis Geen tyd vir wonder, net herhalende bid Here help ons uit die pit Reën elke uur van elke dag Sopnat slaapsak na die kampvuur lag Mense in komberse met tyres vir skoene...
In a community broken by neglect, insecurity, poverty and lack of parenting and opportunity, children are in need. One in two children in the area are impacted by the effects of HIV/AIDS. As a result, children are deprived of their basic childhood needs.

Killing Fields, Living Fields... Even though this is the title of a book depicting the life and times of the church in Cambodia during one of the most recent human atrocities, it very much speaks about the country as a whole these days. A country that only came out of a bloody time of war and occupation as recently as 1993, it’s slowly busy recovering to its once promising future which was laid bare by a regime of brutality and inhumanity a mere 30 years ago when anyone who seemed to be influenced in any way by the Western...
Explore Africa Expedition We are a team of 7 young people embarking on a mission to travel and serve in different parts of North, East and West Africa. At the heart of our mission to serve in Africa, we seek to see Christ made known in our continent. We will travel through 13 countries from March 2011 and will return to South Africa in November 2011. During this time we will be serving the poor, sharing the good news of Christ and studying the scriptures. In order to make this journey possible, each member needs to raise up to...
During our 3 weeks in Egypt the Lord gave me a picture of our team. I saw a picture of us walking in the desert and up ahead in the distance Jesus was walking, leading us as we followed in his footsteps. For me and the team this was very encouraging as we felt the Lord saying that he was preparing the way for us for the next 2 months and that were ever we would go he would have been before to prepare everything for us. Looking back at our time I could see how the Lord prepared...
We all know, whether we’re parents or not, the need for our children to have a safe and secure place to learn, play and just be kids. We take this for granted and think that a basic need such as this is available everywhere. On Olango Island, in the Philippines, this is not the case. But with your support, it can be!
