Hello
As I write this, I am sitting on a two day train from the North of India to the South. And I literally do not have the words to fully describe what I have experienced here (And for those of you who know me well, that is a miracle in itself ;-)

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...

Hidden World in The World
And just like that we were saying our good bye's and getting on a plane, watching South Africa disappear beneath us and bidding it farewell for the next 8 months. Hidden World is officially in the nations. It still seems unreal to us. 8 weeks ago we ...

What a wonderful God we serve! Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 I’ve had it on my heart for a very long time to do a mission trip with some teens. It was AMAZING!!! First of all, God really blessed us with a great leadership team. There were three of us (and we could each function in the area of our strengths), leading a team of 10 teens. We saw many lives touched and miracles: The one eve we were showing the Jesus film and had decided to feed the people afterwords. But more people showed up...

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...
This will be my bed, my room, my home for the next few months - you thought your flat was small?! After a hectic shopping spree to take all that is needed for a year - and needs to fit into a 60 litre backpack - I was on my way to JBay... 5 Weeks of training and some CRAZEEE experiences later, and I'm a richer person. All that is left of this time is pictures, memories, stories that will be told and a changed heart... We had some great teachers with us, Uncle Floyd and Retief shared some...
PINK TEAM: PJ, Wessel, Luzaan and Vix. We ROCK!!! No, no really, we do! There was a man of God that spoke a word over our team:"Grace team. Kids team..bunch of kids around team."FUN", magnet that will draw many to God." The coolest thing is most of us in the group are good with Kids (Some of us thought that we might take the year off from children's ministry- But obviously has other plans) We have already experienced so much of God's grace and favour upon us.In challenges He has blessed and protected us. For example the one night (12pm) we...

Where is the love...the mercy But still they build the wall Bigger and Higher There is no time or place for partiality Father God how can this be for a land You love so dearly Division and hate is setting in There is fear and anger...
Madame Guyon wrote in her autobiography: The presence of God was so plentifully given that it seemed to be more in me than my very self. Come then to this fountain, without complaining to weak an impotent creature that cannot help you, come to prayer, and lay before God your troubles; beg His grace; above all, do this so that you may love Him. None can exempt himself from loving, for none can live without a heart, or the heart without love. Let us love without reasoning about it, and we will find ourselves filled with love before the...
"All of us have the devine spark within us and we so desperately need the breath of God to bring us to life and light. Jesus wants to set the church on fire so the world can warm themselves around us and find light and safety. We are here on earth to be a home and a refuge for the lost and broken. But first we must learn the art of togetherness and celebration. To welcome people into the party of true freedom of finding Jesus we must first be students of that very way of life. We need to...
Here are some pictures from our time in Egypt. Hope to send some more soon. We are in Thailand at the moment busy with some ministry. It is really awesome to search God's heart for the things that He wants for us. It is very exciting and full of adventure. I am realizing God's spirit of adventure more and more each day.
