[video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZUmd0KiOBM 480x400] I was completely fascinated by the architectural diversity of Sao Paulo,Brazil. Yes, I know i'm on a missionary trip but because we had to sort out or Panama visa in downtown we walked the streets of Sao Paulo thoroughly. Enjoy the variety of free-form and the effect it has on the city. Be Blessed Jacobus Scott

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 ...

Australia... where should I start? There is so much I have that I can tell you, but it has never really been one of my life ambitions to write a novel, so I decided that I shall stick to the highlights. Two and a half months, 10 weeks or 70 days, doesn’t matter how you look at it, went by in a flash. Oh but what a brilliant flash it was. I’ll try to contain my excitement as I relive my time in Australia. After a wonderful time in New Zealand, we flew into Sydney at the end of May. ...
John Daniel Redcliff, at the age of 37, has never been outside the Port Elizabeth area. At the age of 3 polio took a bit of his independence. Now he is a man living on his own and doing so much more for himself. He embrace life to the fullest! After experimenting in many things, he realised in 1999 that the world is no fun without God and so he got baptised. His mother past away shortly after that and his father followed after her. Life was though! Our path crossed last year and the locals of Jeffreys Bay...

Ps 139:5 "You place your hand of blessing om my head" I could write pages and pages about this 4 weeks in this beautiful country that is so close to Gods heart (Thailand). God came and answered so many of my prayers and gave me the opportunity to really spend time with the Thai people. It was so sad to go, but it was also wonderful to see how God is working through the few Christians that there is. Something that not one of us can deny is what Jesus told us so many years ago. "The harvest are many,...

Date: 16 May 2009 Place: Kusadasi, Turkey to Panajachel, Guatemala Kusadasi, Turkey What difference can one make into someone´s life? By a simple smile OR a hand of support OR just a friendly ´Meraba´ (Turkish) OR ´Hola´ (Spanish)? Before departing for Guatemala, we knew we left a significant mark in Turkey. The city of Kusadasi in Turkey does not know how much they are missing...the love of Jesus Christ. During our stay in Kusadasi we met some young Muslim guys and we had great times playing rugby and fellowshipping. We also invited them to our evening Bible studies and...
In the early hours of the morning, 18 June, we arrived in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. Unfortunately Michelle and Shanine stayed behind in China, because of difficulty with application for a Russian visa. Please pray with us for this matter. We were welcomed very warmly by our hosts at the airport and taken to our separate host families. Finally by around 4 am we had the wonderful opportunity to lay our heads down and catch some sleep. Our hosts are very friendly, kind and helpful. They were even so kind as to bless us with eggs, sausages, bread and banana’s to have...
I know you're probably thinking that this is such a strange heading for a blog, well yes it is but it was a word i got for Nepal and on top of that it gets me super excited to write about ;) Just like when you rowing through the rapids of rough waters and it feels like a battle seemingly IMPOSSIBLE to over come.. This is similar to what i experienced in Nepal in terms of our street ministry there.( except that Jesus is way more powerful than anything we encountered).. Everywhere my eyes glanced there were idols that people...

The excitement...
