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. ...

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...

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...

Later on they came here for the good quality tobacco and world renowned coffee. These days, People come here for spiritual enlightenment. It's true...Indonesia has become the new India! Distant islands came here for one reason... to
reach the lost and to encourage our fellow family members in Christ! Our journey brought us to the city of Yogyakarta.
Yogyakarta is not a name that will sound familiar to a lot of South Africans and most of our team members have never even heard of it. Well, Yogyakarta (Yogya for short) is the third largest city on the island of Java in Indonesia and is the powerhouse of Javanese and Indonesian heritage, art and culture. And, as it goes this year, we ended up there by the divine guidance of the Lord...
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...
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...
I chose you!
God doesn’t chose us if He doesn’t think we can be like Him. HE HAS FAITH IN US! Jesus has faith that we can follow Him and be like Him!
May you have faith that Jesus has faith in you!

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...
From the streets of China to the mountains of Nepal. This was where I was taught that 'different' and 'dark' may have been studied from the wrong angle. People are scared of being different- People avoid standing out. People love to blend into the crowd with tame words and pedicured appearances. Keeping the gardens trimmed and neat while the living room is in utter chaos. People are experts in being moulded by the world. "Please look at the garden but PLEASE don't look through the window". Jesus wasn't bothered by being controversial or 'exposing' Himself. He didn't really fit into...
What a blessing, what a joy divine to be in Masaiti, Zambia. Greetings from a soaking wet muddy and water flowing “Koti Ni Eden” farm of FCE.( Foundation for Cross-Cultural Education) Surrounded by bush, villages, termite moulds, the Kafulafuta river, no electricity, kapenters( small fish like cat food), huge ants, mosquito nets and let me not forget to mention continuous raindrops, it’s a privilege to be here. It’s currently rainfall season and when I say rainfall I mean it. Everything is bright green except the red muddy roads and buzzing mosquito’s. However in just a few months time the Zambians say the climate changes drastically here and it becomes very dry, brown and no more rain. Even though my washing takes about four days to dry if I’m lucky and it hasn’t rained wet again, it’s still great to be here!
Fun times with GREAT friends!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln7yWG2GLUE
