The day was filled with many different memories, taking as much as...

"M-slapped" writing in honour of all the M’s I have met this year, you never asked for this, but you are worthy of this, and so much more...thank you for showing me a glimpse of your life During our travels this year, I have met many missionaries (let’s call them M ’s), some inspiring, some grey with age, speaking words of wisdom, some frustrated, some rejected, some exhausted.  My heart goes out to each and every one of these, who have left their kids, their family, their grandchildren, and their culture behind for one purpose only...to proclaim the gospel that...

My dad gave me my first Bible when I went to Grade 1. On the first page he wrote Psalm 119:9. A verse that has since become one of my favourites: “How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.” Psalm 119:9-11 ESV I guess, if you are sitting here, that is one thing you have a desire for- to have a life...

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!

Normal 0 Sorry to say that our second day wasn’t as eventful as the first one. Two of our team members, Marisa and Christine were sick in bed the better part of the afternoon (the rest of the team offered them moral support by also sleeping the afternoon).   The morning we were more productive though…Marisa, Elzet and Paul went to buy breakfast for the team, while Christine and Herman took care of the blog Orange team wanted to post. While buying breakfast Marisa and Elzet (they lost Paul somewhere along the road) met a man who gave them his...
