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 ...

Hello to everyone, I would like to offically invite you to follow my journey, whatever your reason may be. Welcome:) I feel that I need to give you a bit of background infomation so that you can understand the journey I'm on, and why I'm experiencing it the way I am. At the end of last year on the 7th of November my life changed for ever. My sister,Amber, 17 years old, went into a coma as a result of measels which then futher developed into menengitis and enkephalitis. Unknown to us at the time, the ICU staff didn't give...

This is two of the words that's constantly in my mind and heart during a year like this. BUT this is exactly what my life has been up to now. It is out of amazing grace that God has chose to send me into the nations - to change my life and peoples' lives around me. I want to share one story on this... In Luke 10 God sends out His disciples to go and bless people in the ordinary walk of life and this time was no different. We (the blue team) asked God to show...
John 14: 12-14- ‘I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things then these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.’
India - a time where we can only look back upon and praise GOD!!! We started off in India with a bang. We worked from 5:30am till about 11am, and then we had some time for biblestudy. After that we worked out a program for the kids, and then we had a whole day of interaction with the kids. That was definitely my highlight!!! I loved everything that had to do with the kids. We prayed alot for money to bless them, and though we didn't even had enough money to stay there, we were blessed by God with about...
Where is God when the world is falling apart? Where is God when it feels like we’re living on our own? Where is the Lord in the Muslim and Buddhist world?
Anyone that knows me will know that I absolutely love being outside and that being in or around mountains is without a doubt where I am in my happy place. So imagine my excitement and anticipation for our visit to the small town of Incahuasi high in the Andes mountains of Peru with Oom Hendrik. This stop on the journey was one of the main reasons why I decided to do my particular journey to South America in the first place and my expectation was well-met - the first day I wanted to jump out of my skin with excitement....
The Lime team has been going through some changes lately... First, Debree is finance person (quite scary). AND more important and much more exciting... we tied with blue for 2nd place in the India challenge! GO BLIME! We had to plant rice, ride in a sari on a donkey (great job Marizy), play 10 overs of the gentleman's game AND win, try explaining THAT to four indian kids. The visit at the tea factory had Cobus reevaluate his pharmacist calling - HAHA just kidding, but it was pretty cool. Let me just say that it is interesting what people are...
