My goodness what a place... its the closest to a holiday paradise that i have been on this side of the world.

all of this feels surrreal really, having met aunty Seeta in Guyana who gave us the keys to her house in barbados, we find ourselves 2km away from the turquoise waters and white sand of the barbadian beaches. Nothing short of AMAZING!

Detour So Germany was not in the original planning as a country to visit, but due to visa reasons we had to go there, the irony was that after our flights was booked Hanna, that is in J-bay but was going to visit a friend in Germany, saw that we would be landing a day after her and flying out a day after her. And since her friend that she would be visiting is involved with the Hillsong church in Germany asked if it would be possible to serve them. The friend came back to say that it would be...

“Jesus, lover of my soul
Jesus, I will never let you go
You’ve taken me from the miry clay
Set my feet upon the rock now I know

I love you, I need you
Though my world will fall
I’ll never let You go
My Saviour, my closest friend
I will worship you until the very end…”

During our challenge up in the Himalaja's it was all about doing what the locals do and it turned out to be a lot of fun. PLANTING RICE  The challenge started out with us sitting in class ready for another exegesis.  This time however, the passage given to us could not be found in the Bible and contained all kinds of interesting tasks.  From planting rice, finding a donkey and one wearing a sari while riding it up hill, drinking chai tea and visiting a  tea plantation, playing a cricket game against a local team, preparing an Indian dish from...

  We serve a God of perfect Love.   I've seen and tasted it these past few weeks and where I'm ,for the first time really, confronted with other religions and idols, my Lord not only seem more real to me now but my God makes so much more sense to me here...away from home. What other God makes Himself known as a Provider and Healer? What other religion's foundation is build on Love?  What other God states that His Glory is His Goodness?  What an honor we have in having part in Him.  Where other faiths are preformance based, our...

From Colombia we took a VERY long busride through Equador and after about 56hours we were finally in Peru. In Ferrenafe we received a much needed South African welcome from our Peru hosts, Oom Hendrik en Tannie Ronel Groenewald. Tannie Ronel greeted us with: ''Come inside, I have rusks and coffee for you.'' With the mention of rusks we were almost in tears.   In Ferrenafe we rested a few days and ate Tannie Ronel's South African meals. From Ferrenafe we went to Trujillo to present a workshop on Global Challenge. The people of Trujillo welcomed us with open arms...

Ephesians 4:1-16

"There is ONE body and ONE Spirit... ONE hope... ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism, ONE God and Father of all" - ONE who is over all and through all and in all!

Our theme for this month of ministry in Malaysia and Thailand is THE BODY OF CHRIST!  We are asking God to stretch our minds and challenge our actions as He teaches us on this.  During our time here so far, we have also had amazing fellowship with different believers and workers and churches.  My prayer is that our walks with them this month may bring both us and them one step closer to God.  May our love and unity be a testimony that invites many more into the Kingdom!

Egypt has cats, Israel has conflıct and Turkey has dogs...Yes, it is a tour around the world and through biblical significant towns, which now has become nothing more than a tourist market!   Why are we here? Seven days into Global Challenge 2009 God answered this question without me even asking it. Mat. 28:18-20. "Jesus came and told His disciples, I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptiziıng them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey...
