Na Dahab is ons Mount Sanai toe waar ons vrek baie trappies geklim het om bo uit tekom, maar alles was die moeite werd. ons het daar bo omtrent die hele Exodus gelees om die stories van die wet mooi te verstaan - so half ses het ons nog boontoe begin klim om die sonsondergang heelbo te beleef. Dit was pragtig daarbo en vrek koud. Ons het die aand op die berg geslaap en dit baie geniet. Na die is ons Israel toe op die Border toe dink die mense verf is plofstof toe...

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...

A few days ago our team went to the Simon Bolivar Park in Santa Marta, expectant to see God move through our dramas and Fred's testimony. Near to the end of the Broken drama a young girl walked past us and turned back to see what is going on. As she sat down our eyes met for a few seconds and God being so excited with her being there, as if saying "Yes, yes, she's here !!!" Man, God was going to do something big... After our program I immediately felt compelled to go to her and not long afterwards...

“It’s my last one, but you can have it.” Remember that Rolo add? Now my question: “Is it OK to keep the last Rolo for ourselves?” One of the scriptures that played a huge part in helping me make my decision whether to do Global Challenge or not, was the one about the rich young ruler (Matt 19:16-30; Luke 18:18-30). The Rich Man 18Once a religious leader asked Jesus this question: “Good Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?” 19”Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked him. “Only God is truly good. 20But to answer your question,...

Poverty, absent parents but primarily alcoholism are causes of destruction in this country and the evidence is scattered everywhere. Stepping outside, the beauty of the three month Siberian summer took our breath away. One evening that stood out for us was how God can suddenly setup a...
