Wow. I read the blogs of the people I'll be joining on 80days (and the others already on their respective challenges) and...wow...The commitment amazes me , each blog tells a story of not only a journey that has yet to happen...but a journey that has been started quite some time ago ...and after reading all the blogs it makes it difficult to write my own...simply because I feel that I am no different to any person sitting next to me, that I have no "special" story to tell...My reasons for doing 80days have changed so much over the last couple of...

Somebody pinch me, please! Already the end of January - unbelievable. What a time we've had!? What a blessing to receive our teams - our companions for the year - and to get to know awesome people in God's Kingdom. It's a toss-up to pin down my highlight so far - working at a local school to improve learning conditions, and sitting at the feet of Floyd McClung - a giant (in every sense) in God's service. May I never grow used to seeing our Lord Jesus Christ enter and touch the hearts of ordinary people to change their lives...

we started the day shopping at the Russian market. we received a challenge card containing a list of challenges we have to complete. our team, consisting of Cornelia, eduan and elani, had to eat a choice of a) snake, b) frog or c) green eggs(courtesy of dr.suess.) we also have to visit the water of life centre where we have to take a photo with Stephen (from the USA) or the two south African doctors who volunteer there. later in the afternoon we visited the daughters centre, where Ruth and other volunteers train women who were previously sexworkers in handcrafts and cooking....

Our Father in heaven May your name be kept holy May your Kingdom come soon May your will be done on earth As it is in heaven Give us today the food we need And forgive us our sins As we have forgiven those who sin against us And don’t let us yield to temptation But rescue us from the evil one     This was the single prayer in my heart as we landed at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport in Malaysia-East a few weeks ago in June. As a pioneering country, I will lie if I say that...

wow so much...not enough time or words... i'm going to theme this one : Restoring the joy of my salvation! and i'm going to start off with an apt piece of literature written by a man who seemed to have a true revelation of the Grace of God: DAVID.

Pink... a colour, if you know me, that is definately not in the top 10 for colour choices let alone a colour that i would wear. But for some strange reason God seems to be colouring in my life with a very bright pink and man is He persistent!   This colour appeared in my life in our luke 10 journey during training where i joined the pink team for an incredible faith ride, where we really saw the significance of the colour come out. And now again in Brazil it seems to be everywhere. you see the colour pink...

From Biblical times until today, the Middle East has been a region subject to near constant unrest and war. Throughout the generations, the kingdom of Jordan has been a safe harbour offering refuge to countless people fleeing from war torn countries on all sides.  In an oasis like this, one finds many interesting people with inspiring stories. Stories of death, pain and destruction; stories of perseverance, courage and relief; stories of hope, love and a Saviour found. On top of that, one finds foreigners from every corner of the earth with the same heart who came to bring relief and...
