Kan julle glo dis al 'n maand wat ons weg is uit SA!!!!!! En daar het al so baie gebeur die tyd. Ons is op die stadiu in DEHAB dis so mooi hier. Die Here het ons nog net kom bederf die maand. Ek leer so baie van myself en van die Here. Ek verstaan nou meer as ek die Bybel lees nadat ons al die plekke besoek het. Dit was vir my die beste toe ons by die lee graf staan. Ek het op nuut weer besef die Here leef en hy het dit vir my en jou gedoen....

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

My hart klop Afrika! Iets wat ek in my wildste drome nooit sou kon dink nie!Somtyds voel dit vir my asof ek totaal en al mal moet wees. Gelukkig weet ek dat dit als deel is van God se pad wat Hy met my stap- iets wat min mense kan verstaan. My Logiese denke se : " Bekommer jou oor die dag van more ", terwyl ek weet Christus se "Moenie!" Dit is presies wat ek wil doen.Ek voel ek soos Paulus wanneer hy se dat dit wat hy wil doen , dit doen hy nie! Ons het die afgelope...
Ek is 'n derdejaar Sielkunde-student van Stellenbosch. Ek is baie lief vir mense, avontuur en stories. Ek lees en fliek graag; gaan stap,draf of klim gereeld berg en kuier baie saam met my vriende en familie. Ek hou van vreemde tale aanleer en vreemde kos eet en nuwe dinge uitprobeer. Verder is ek ook lief vir perdry, kosmaak, skryf en toneel. Ek is in 'n koshuis waar ek betrokke is by 'n hele paar aktiwiteite. Ek is ook betrokke in my kerk en is 'n volunteer by twee gemeenskapsorganisasies. Ek is 'n middelkind, maar glo nie dat ek aan die...
80 Days Egipte- Israel Jumpinginto GRACE Vriende Dit is 02:32am op Madrid lughawe, ek is stokflou, maar kan nie ‘n oog toemaak nie. Daar is te veel wat in my kop maal en êrens moet ek uiting gee aan oorlaaide emosies van oorstelpde vrede, blydskap en liefde! 80 Days het afgeskop met ‘n skepskop van die halflyn af en van die begin af punte op die bord gesit. Ons spannetjie is nou op pad Portugal toe en sal sekerlik daar wees wanneer ek die brief klaarmaak. Ek kan ampertjies nie glo dat ons die eerste twee lande reeds deur is...
My sonder pretiensie Afrika gedig Die onregverdigheid van agterbly, kom maak hom tuis soos 'n ongenooide gas want hoe kokm jy, vreesloos, grensloos, vleesloos rondhuppel deur die Jordaan, terwyl ek weerloos, sonder jou my ousus, hierdie kant moet bly staan. Iewers tussen Jeffreys en die Knysnabos, los ek my gebroke hart, verruil ek hom vir tand en tydlose Afrika glimlagte wag ek geduldig vir volmaakte Godsheling om te kom Soos Paulus verstaan ek ook nou beter, om te lewe is Christus, te sterwe 'n wins want jy was nooit myne om te hou nie, nie toe nie...

'All my bags are packed, I, ready to go!!!!!.......'Okay 'Bag'. Moes sekerlik weet dat alles nie sou inpas en moes toe maar weggee, uitgooi en ligter maak. Die tyd het aangebreek om al die koebaais te se. Ek is seker die Isrealiete het so gevoel (my maag draai al heeltemal in die rondte)toe hulle uit Egipte getrek het, maar soos hulle trek die Here ook vooruit om ons te ly en te stuur. God het my tot nou toe meer geseen as wat ek ooit kon droom. Dankie vir julle ondersteuning en liefde, hetsy deur gebedsondersteuning, emosioneel of finansieel. Dit is 'n voorreg om die vrede van...

Japan – Sri Lanka A lot about LOVE... by Johannes Wagner What a day. Flying from Hawaii to Japan, we crossed a timeline which pushed us 15hours ahead in time ... Crazy! Who said time travelling is impossible? In Japan we stayed for one night in a little town called Narita. Japan is probably the place I saw who is the most “culturally active” – they have a very rich one. We wanted to sleep at the airport, but they actually closed for the night! So we were forced to get lodging. After treating the team...
Hi all! Its hard to reflect on a week that went by in a flash but still feels as if we've been here for months! This week the Leadership Team welcomed us as if we were long lost family member finally making our way back home. The thing connecting us were not blood and a family name but the passion for Christ, the unknown and a burning desire to see God heal nations. I now understand what God meant when He said HE alone directs our steps. Listening to the team members stories of how they all came to join the...
