Hey everybody my name is Freddy and I want to tell you a bit about myself. I grew up in a small town called Riebeeckstad, but I attended Grey College and AHS Kroonstad in my high school career. I worshipped rugby my whole life until I met the Lord in grade 11. My whole life changed and so did my dreams. I have a passion for Jesus and I have a passion to spread the Gospel. My life changed in so many ways and I came to a piont in my life where I can't imagine myself not working for...

The story of Biko When I arrived in the small Lesotho village of Hlakoti for the first time years ago I met Biko… It took me some time to get all my thoughts in order about our time in Lesotho. When we arrived this time around, I remembered my first visit to this small village named Hlakoti. A boy came towards me and I recognized him as one of the older boys that has been there since the first time I took a team there 4 years ago. The scene played in my mind of when the nurse told me...

 

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Dear family, friends and all interested! I safely arrived in Jeffrey's Bay on 12 January 2010! I am in the northbound team and I'm very happy to say that I have an awesome team and wonderful team leaders. I can now also say that they are definitely almost even closer than family at the moment (more about that later…). All the Global Challenge leadership are amazing people and I am wonderfully surprised by their friendliness, helpfulness, how they make us feel so welcome and how pleasant and caring they are. We are receiving training...

I found a picture with these words quoted: and it helped me to realise what 2012 should be about. My whole life, up to now, I almost always got everything I wanted, but not always what I needed. I am at a point in my life where I am beginning to understand a lot of things, but the more I understand, the more I feel like nothing makes any sense. I feel like the more I learn, the less I know. I believe the reason why I feel this way is because I am learning from the wrong sources... Institutions...

I thought that  this year's journey would start when we flew to India at the end of Feb, but God had other plans. From the time I left home on monday the 11th of Jan He has been growing and stretching and teaching me. The people are not nearly as scary as I first thought they were! When we got to share our stories with each other in a group this weekend God showed me that no matter how different we are (and we are VERY different) we are all in the same place in Christ, and we are all...

As fitting for someone that has no place to sleep but his car, I offered my services to the 2 Canadians whom had some time left in South Africa after debrief to see some of South Africa. And thus we started what was the road trip. We started in Witrivier, were I got Danica and Sabra late on 1 December, and we had a look at some sort of planning that was done on where they want to go ect. Problem nr 1 was that we did not have a place to sleep on 2de, but since we were planning...

Shalom!  Hierdie kant gaan dit goed, ek geniet Jerusalem die meeste! Alhoewel dit God se land is en Sy stad hierdie is dit so 'n weerspieeling is van wat aangaan in die wereld. Hier is nie net Jode nie, nee nee, hier is mense van alle nasies, stamme, tale, volke en gelowe. Dis Crazy.   Die plek is die hoogtepunt van my journey sover! Skrif se: "Blessed is the man whose strength is in the Lord, who's heart is set on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem". You can call me blessed!   Ons het 6 Januarie hier aangekom en ingeboek in...
