Also we had our first taste of Egyptian food and must say not bad thanks mom for feeding me lentils!! And who knew the desert could be absolutely freezing, i had all my clothes on with...

AFRICAN EXTREMES 10 Jun 2009 In a week's time I've experienced so many different African Extremes... From Niger's desert-villages to the city of Abuja in Nigeria, nearly nothing is the same. Here are some African Extremes: Last week we couldn't find one ATM in the former capital of Niger, this week we can pick and choose between 6 ATM's that's standing next to each other in the foyer of a hotel. Last week I woke up in my tent in the middle of the desert, with the sound of Fulani-women discussing the white people whose visiting their well. This morning...

I went walking this morning. To my right was an open sewerage channel, a haven for malaria and other diseases. Following the channel it led me to an open field. Supposedly the soccer field. Plastic bags lay scattered all over the place, and along the rim burning heaps of garbage. The smell of burnt plastic in the air. The smoke dwindling from the garbage lazily drifted up past the palm tree till it faded in with the morning mist. A cow stood idly on one heap, munching happily away at the junk- plastic bags, old mango peels anything it could...

  Long, long ago in a land far, far away (ok maybe just in Jan 2011, and maybe just in JBay), destiny made two wandering spirits collide, and so, the Gypsies united union was formed.Princess Kakalethu (also known as Joy) and Togosile(also known as Emme), together with 5 other awesome individuals went on a journey to go where no one has gone before (ok maybe Explore Africa 2009 and 2010 and a few other people)   This has been a journey of great delight and magnificent sights, suffering and learning, laughter and tears. Ever so often Princess Kakalethu has had...

 Hallo  brothers and sisters in Christ :) For first lets go back to February, February was the last month of preparation, so we had lot of teaching and we had the first challenge for this year :) It was a challenge from Jeffreys Bay to Coffer Bay-Transkai, what was 700 KM, it was a 15 hours race :) On the way to  Coffer Bay we had to find a pig and a chicken, eat chicken food, tell your testimony  to 5 people and find out how to say Hallo-, My name i-, Your name is  on Korza language. The challenge was so...

 Привет! After 3 INTERESTING days on the Train from Moscow, and after sleeping in 197 different positions in a bed that is designed to be exactly 15cm shorter than anyone sleeping in it, we arrived in Krasnoyarsk (Красноярск). What a joy to meet up with a host of Russian friends - with most of whom we had but facebook or email contact for a decade! And even more joy to see that God has been working mightily in this place, and that He is truly busy bringing His church closer to Him. Glory!  A hectic pace, though, from the moment we...

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...

Everything that the Holy Spirit taught me just during our first week in São Paulo, Brazil, can be condensed into that one sentence: God doesn't need Google Translate. He really doesn't!

 

Hi everybody!

Our trip has started at last! In the most beautiful country of them all - the Republic of South Africa!!

Good day! Since we have arrived we have been given so much it actually frustrated me. I caught myself praying for a road to build. God really sent us to such a serving community to show us what it means. It is sacrificial. We had to find secret ways to avoid getting served more tea by none other than those who were stripped from all they had. Their family sits in the other room waiting to eat the food we are cannot manage to finish. The Middle Eastern culture is now of my favorite. It seems like a life time...
