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...

You will go looking for food in the dumpster or in the field or just chow the crumps lying around. So this made me think... how much wills I give or how Far will I go to get spiritual food. What will be the measure to be gained my daily bread of life...? (Mat 15:21)...
The Hidden World Guide to Central America: Step 1 First, you're going to need to take a leap of faith and fly to Mexico with no contact and no plan. There you will meet an immigration officer who just so happens to be a pastor of a great big church. Wait for the invitation, and off you go to Mundo de Fe Cancun where your host, a complete stranger, will welcome you and your team of 11 to live with him and his family for 2 weeks. In this time you can expect to get very little sleep...
Never stop!! Never stop living a God fearing life, never stop doing His will, never stop believing, never stop telling the truth, never stop praying and never stop praising our awesome God!! You will probably only have one chance to tell a person about what Jesus had done for him, don't let it pass, it is your responsiblity. Doesn't matter where in the world you are, tell them the TRUTH!!!!!
We arrived late in Guatamala close to 22h and like all good global challengers we slept at the airport to the amusement of the early morning travellers. The bus we took from Guatamala city to Panajachel was intresting in diversity of rainbow colours and lets just say the drive down was speedy and not what i am used to in a public bus down a rather steep hill. But then again nothing of the time in Panajachel was what i am used to.......... When we arrived in Pana i looked forward to lay eyes on the famous Ben of Panajachel...
We departed from Turkey almost two months ago already, but it was such an overwhelming experience to be a pilgrim in the country where a big part of the new testament plays off that I struggled to put it into words. Here is my attempt at celebrating the highlights! We arrived in Istanbul, a cosmopolitan city located halfway in Asia and halfway in Europe with a strong Middle Eastern influence. The streets smell of incense and turkish delight and various kinds of fruit teas can be found in every sidewalk cafe and street market. Here I found that Psalm 16:5...
There are not many grand moments in life, even though this moment, this year was one of the grandest, I know that after this year we will hardly live life in those grand moments. We will live in the utterly mundane. This used to scare me but then I looked closer to these mundane spaces that we exist in.: the bathrooms, the bedrooms, living rooms and the hallways of life. This is where the character of our lives is set. This is where we will live a life of faith. And that my friends makes me even more excited, because...
Hi, hallo, sabona. Finally Global challenge has started!!! This is what I dreamt about for the last 2 years. I am really excited about what lies ahead and to see what God is going to do. I know this is were God wants me to be. I am grateful to God for equipting me to finish my studies at Potchefstroom University. The 4 years at university and in the hostile (Caput) was great. God changed my life and really worked with me in every aspect. He also gave me great friends, that I am going to miss. Our base camp...
Although my journey of faith only starts in 2013 - it feels like it already has. To see God's provision for my team members and myself thus far has been amazing! As He is preparing my heart for next year - I am just reminded of the gentleman that He is! If I look back at all the miracles, testimonies and great things He has done, helped me through and blessed me with in my life so far, I stand in awe. I believe that next year will be no different! I have gained new respect for the words "faith"...
