I'm 18years old, living in Pretoria and almost finished with school. It's really difficult talking about yourself, or just explaining who I am! I like, talking,sharing and meeting new people. I like to travel and test myself a lot. I love living life and doing things that is different. I came to the point where I had to ask myself what I am going to be doing next year and with the rest of my life. I came across Global challenge and then I was shocked to see how awesome opportunity this is and why there isn't more of this...

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...

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...

Hi All! We are competing in our first challenge (similair to amazing race!) and this is one of the tasks! Cheers!
Groete uit Dahab, Egipte! Die afgelope tyd was soooo geseënd gewees vir my. Ons was oor kerstyd by die Himalaya berge in Daramsala, Noord Indië, by die Tibettian grens. Dit was verskriklik mooi gewees. (Want daar was meer van God as van mense – natuur). Op kersdag self het ons (ek, tannie Tersia, Adette en Petro) uitgespat en 'n nuwe horison gesoek om te ontdek. Alhoewel ek elke dag 'n piek gesummit het wat daar was om my avontuurlistige gier te plesier was hierdie 'n roete van 'n ander opdraend, hehe. Ons doel was om die "Snow-Line" te bereik want...

After spemding time apart and some of the team spending time in the HIlton hotel (flight got cancelled to Panama and so were booked in for a night) Southbound refocussed our thoughts and began zoning in on new opportunities to serve.

Hi all, sorry for blogging such a long time ago! Times are crazy! This blog is about part of India and I'm sorry to say that it is in Afrikaans, because it is a mail I sent a while back, so sorry for all the english speaking folks! The next one will be in english!
Learning that God provides in everything is definitely a process. One of the best ways to experience God's provision is to give God a chance to provide. Putting yourself in a position where you can’t do anything about your circumstance prepares the way for God to show a little bit of His amazing glory.
