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...
"The land of smiles"
Thailand!! Wow it's an incredible place! Filled with beauties that only seeing in person can be understood! It definitely lives up to its phrase "the land of smiles" everyone here is just amazing. This country is special for me! We started in Bangkok...
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 ...

Luke 10 stories are bound to be interesting stories always. The fact of the matter in this case was: A group of 3 people going into a foreign, Spanish speaking country for 7 days without money, transport, food or a plan, except trusting God for Devine appointments along the way. How can you not see God's hand working in a time like this, where you have to trust Him for everything? When we are weak, He is strong. In Salta we said chao to the rest of the Hidden World group and with an excitement/slight nervousness inside we started hitchhiking...
Israel Happy are those who set their hearts on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. O little Town of Jerusalem so many people walk your streets searching for answers and stop around every corner to ask more questions. To walk where you walked! To see what you saw! To meet with you face to face. God would cease to be God if He stopped sharing and revealing Himself through love to the pure in heart. O little Town of Jerusalem the Father gave his only Son; the way, the truth, the life. O Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone...
Names are not always what they seem. For most of us it means identity and belonging. The identity that names give speak of description, which in most cases leave the negativity of prejudice and pride behind and also often leads us to form a stereotype. During my stay in Macedonia I was introduced with the thought that people and places are more than just a name. Macedonia for instance, may be known for it's rich history and important people, but for me Macedonia is like a good find in an antique store...timeless and...
Written by Sulene - still news from Macau
The GCX08 white team (myself and the team leaders) had the awesome privilege of spending time of fellowship with Martie and the OM staff and students in Macau.
Meeting and sharing with these servants of the Lord was a very rich experience for me. It was HUMBLING to say the least! And encouraging and joyous and blessed!!!& nbsp;
14 February 2008 - Red Hill
Yesterday we said that we can’t wait to see what God was going to do today. Nothing of course
prepared us for what happened.
We had already spent almost R40 000 on material for the township and needed to spend about another R30 000 to get most of the residents of the ground.
A lot of the money spent we hadn’t received yet but came from our budget which is suppose to go for different projects.
This morning as we started our day Floyd invited all of us to listen to the Holy Spirit and hear what amount he is laying on our hearts to give. Because we first have to open our hearts before we can expect others to give.

As I prepare for my second Zanzibar trip, I am equally excited and nervous. Excited to see the people and the island again, excited to see what God has in store for us and the people of Zanzibar, excited to once again go off to a new place and tell them the good news. I am, however, also nervous. Nervous, because I know God planned this trip way ahead. The team leaders have been thinking and praying about returning ever since they went to Zanzibar in June 2007. I have been thinking and praying about returning since my trip there in June 2008. I know...
