We visited the West Saharan dessert where a Berber friend, Mohammed, went with us for a picnic and made us some traditional mint tea. We enjoyed it so much and it was one of those times where you wish : " if time could only stand still " . <!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } --> After that we went to Marrakech and stayed with workers from whom we learned a lot, considering GIVING UP ALL FOR THE KINGDOM 'S SAKE. T he famous market there is filled with practices such as witchcraft and drug...

As I stood knee deep in the Picific Ocean of Thailand I asked the Father for a new revelation of the cross. God answered in an unexpected way by speaking words of identity and encouragement over me, leading me to write the following: Because of Jesus and not because of me, I make this statement. All of the following is scripture based: I am perfect. I am flawless. I am blameless. I am so beautiful, Jesus has to look away. I have no condemnation anymore, but rather total feedom with no bondages. I can boldly draw near to the King...

I have learnt a lt this year. I learned that things don't always turn out the way you planned, or the way you think it should. And I've learned that there are things that go wrong that don't always get fixed or get put back together the way they were before. I've learned that you can get through bad times and keep looking for better ones. This year wasn't always pretty. It wasn't always comfortable. Some things and situations even break your heart. But that's okay. The journey changes you - it should change you. It leaves marks on your...
God has been putting something om my heart the last few weeks to share with you all. This journey started during Guatemala, but I´m still on it and will probably still be on it the rest of my life.. I grew up with a mindset of pride and thinking I never need men for anything, I can do everything on my own. So as soon as a guy will ask for help I would immediately say no thank you, I can do this on my own. I thought this was right and that all women feel this way. The in...
Yesterday I wrote the blog about the story of a 20~year old girl and how she gave her life to Christ... handing her ashes to Him and having the faith that He might change it into something worth living for...something beautiful. Well, her story doesn't end there...that is only the beginning! That night, after the park encounter, John and Amanda Howard, our host missionary family, opened their hearts and house to this girl. Because, like I wrote in the previous blog, this beautiful girl had no contact with her family, her parents changed their numbers and therefore...
The past 6 weeks have consisted of two countries multiple flights, taxis, busses, motorbikes, Trans Jogja journeys, Jeepney, ferry and multi-cab rides. Blessings in abundance, amazing people, challenging ministry, victory and freedom, struggles and breakthrough. It has been an intense growing and incredible time seeing God bless and provide in an over abundance in Indonesia too a crazy 118 hour travelling story involving a ferry ride and the story of the mirical snack packet too a challenging but incredible experience in the Philippines. Never doubt that God is a good Father. INDONESIA The place, Indonesia in a Muslim nation, with...
After a great weekend of intense preparation, we are finally on the Island of blue beaches and white sand where locals are still enslaved by Islam. The first weekend was devoted to getting to know the Zanzibar and Islam context, getting to know one another, preparing ministry like a dance and puppet show and mainly making sure that everybody is spiritually ready for what is coming. I know that this team is handpicked by God and it is amazing how well we work together. One theme started with the planning of this journey and continued to surface during the weekend:...
During the past 2 weeks, God drew my attention to this power and the effect it has. It started on our Luke 10 in Hawaii, when Johannes and I got to spend 3 days with two lovely people (Julie and her daughter Jana). I believe that it was God’s divine appointment for us to meet Julie ‘randomly’ at a laundromat, starting a conversation about wi-fi. This all led to her offering us food, a lift back to our tents, breakfast the next morning and to stay at their place (something she would never do with strangers). During the time...
The 6th sup> of March marked the beginning of our journey. We flew to Sao Paulo (Brazil) via Doha (Qatar) and overnighted at both airports. On the 8th we took a bus from Sao Paulo to Ubatuba. I can only say that I got a new awe for the beauty of God’s creation. It is truly as if a part of Eden can be seen in Brazil.
