Northbound book of records found the smallest and biggest apple of all time at the local Greek market in Athens. The market was such an invigorating experience with all the beautiful colors and fresh produce available. It was tantalizing just to look at. There were more than 9 different kinds of olives on display and we could also taste some of them. The colors of all the fresh fruit and vegetables painted the most beautiful picture. The Greek people are also very friendly! We were able to taste some of the different kinds of meat and sausage available. I was blessed by a free banana, which...

PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN IN THE SNOWY HIMALAYAS!* Today was a new experience to a lot of us! We had the day off (it was Charmaine‘s birthday), spent about R55 and we were all off to the Himalayas to go on a bit of a hike to experience the true Himalayan experience… SNOW! An hour an a half ride through the mountains in the Indian jeeps (Mahindra) we were at our drop-off! It started raining! Now the question was… to go on this 3 hour hike in the rain to see snow, or to go back to town and sit in...

     A whole days travel brought us safely from Cambodia across the Thai border and spirts were high as we looked forward to spending time at the ocean...Nights 1 +2 in Trat, Thailand, saw not only time off, but sleep in beds AND an AIRCON before we set off on our faith journey... what a blessing!

Five Hidden World members were urgently called to Tibet. This door only remains open until the beginning of October and until when it will be closed, we do not know.   Tibet is known as a closed country and is under a lot of oppression. Tourist could not enter for a while until June of this year and cannot enter after the 1st of October. Thus we are left with a very small open door. We arrived in Nepal and waited on the Lord for a clear direction of where to go. As He provided for us opportunity after opportunity...

Zanzibar is not only a honeymoon destination, but also an island of poor people hungry and ready for the knowledge of Jesus Christ.  Zanzibar was Arab territory for centuries. They brought slavery and Islam onto the island.  Slavery was abolished, but the overwhelming influence of Islam lingered. 95 % of the population in Zanzibar is Moslem, most of them very devoted. Few women are educated, and speak only Swahili.  8-22 December a team of 10 young people will visit the island to serve and support the few Christians in Zanzibar. We will stay in a town called Bububu on the west coast....

 Life-changing Guatemala   Dear friends and family in Christ.   I want to thank you all for your continuous prayer for me and for our group!   I appreciate it so much and I don’t think we know how much of a difference prayer makes in our battle against the forces of evil.   Guatemala was a life-changing experience!   We were hosted by Ben and his congregation here in Panajachel, one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.   During day time we work at various work sites, I work at Nimmer and Jenifer’s house.   The...
