We set off without any money, any direction and not speaking the language. Some call is courageous, other stupid! I think we still don’t really know what we got ourselves into. It’s been a journey of a life time with a team I’m willing to go around the...

      After an amazing and exhausting journey from Peru to Guatemala we have finally arrived! Here, we are based in a small touristy type town nestled in what appears to be mountains surrounding a lake. At a closer look, these mountains are actually volcanoes and the lake is just that is a huge crater from a previous standing volcano. Panajachel is a tranquil little town. Everywhere you look, the Guatemalan people are catering to the tourists that pass through. But if you look closely, you will see the people remaining true to their culture.

When we prayed for Luke 10, I asked not for the easy way, but for God's way.  I want to grow in faith...  So, when the rest of Southbound headed north, Yellow team made our way down south, and what an incredible journey it was!   Okay, so from Takuapa (Thailand) we as Yellow team headed for Vietnam.  Receiving many confirmation that that’s where we have to go.  Many of the words we got, involved boats, so we felt lead to go down to Songkla (Thailand) and get a boat from there.  From leaving the house, we were blessed by...

Getting Baptised After God brought so much freedom and healing in Guatemala, getting baptised brought even more joy and a new peace.   But this is only an introduction to living in the Spirit all the time – the old Betty goes under the water and a supernatural thing happens in the Spirit and then a new creation comes out from the water. Thank you Jesus J

New Zealand is really great, in the physical I mean. We spent our first week in the Algies Bay Cottages, right next to the ocean. God just came and blessed us with a place where we only had to pay for the first night, with the rest of the week for free. God is so great! Our first week in India was spent in the wonderful Himalayan Mountains where we did a Veritas Bible Study module. But our whole team really needed this rest as after the Mountains we traveled to the Emmanuel Missions orphanage in Kota where we spent...

Date: 23 February 2009 Place: Transkei / Alabanza, South Africa   Our last couple of weeks of preparations was very blessed by a visit from Joe of Scotland, a great man and prophet of God. He taught us of Spiritual Gifts, especially the gift of Faith. In impossible moments our Lord will show His countenance before man who earnestly seeks Him. With these weeks of getting ready, my last hope of getting the necessary funds were getting low... no matter what we do, it is only the Lord who knows what we need and when we need it. The departure...

 Yip, it's been quite a long road from Morocco, through Mauritania, down to Senegal!! And even though we didn't do it with 4by4's we made it, alive and well by public transport!  God has been so faithful to us... Here's some pics...   This was our view MOST of the time... We had a coffee break once ... GREAT, cheap, Mauritanian coffee!!!   The ferry from Rosso, Mauritania, to Rosso, Senegal - crazy Africa!!! YEAH!!   Did I mention something about public transport??? This is it - ALHAMDOULAHI - Praise God...  

Greetings from Dahab, Egypt. It has really been a long while since I have written so I will try my best to fill in the gaps. After a wonderful week in Mexico City the rest of the team arrived and we could finally all travel to the airport and fly off to London. With great excitement we waited for our flight call, but it just kept on getting later and later. At first we thought it is just "Mexico Time" but soon realized that something was wrong. Our flight was canceled and would only leave the next day! But God...

Many times in life we are faced with a decision that would forever alter the course of our lives. I was faced with such a decision and stepping out of the ´norm´ was harder than I thought. After five years of studies, the obvious choice would have been to pursue a ´comfortable´ path leading to a ´comfortable´ life filled with an abundance of comforts. On the other side of the spectrum, my heart had a conflicting view with that of society´s norm. I had a longing for adventure and with this longing came a fear that this would never be...

  So in this: my second India blog, I'll be chatting to you all about japati:) Did you expect that? I think not!! ;D So the first phase of making japati is getting all the ingredients; this metophorises ( is this a real word? Yes I create it;) ) God preparing and equipping me for my journey...

Cool as salt is also an ingredient for japati along...
