   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...

The pioneering journey continues! Since our stay in Dakar God has taken us across the Sahel (grasslands) of the West-Africa all the way to Niamey, the capital of Niger. As the team was away on their Luke 10 journey and we were only meeting up with them again in Bamako, Detlef and myself decided to go on our own little adventure. We visited the most western point of Africa, Point des Almadies, after which we explored the Lac Rose (pink lake) region. Lac Rose has a very high salt concentrate and therefore the pink colour of the water. It was...

The week in London was pretty cool. We were so blessed by Ian and Erika the whole time. We got the chance to see London while staying in with them. The last night we were blessed with “boerewors”!

Our journey from Zinder to Abuja was mostly uneventful. We said our goodbyes to Niger, crossed to border to Northern Nigeria and watched as the desert was soon replaced by lush green surroundings. The extreme poverty also gave way to a sense of prosperity and big bustling cities. The first of which was major centre of Kano. The famous West African Peugeot taxi we were driving in did break down about half way to Abuja. But by now we were used to that happening and patiently waited in a random mechanic’s yard as they welded and grinded away at pieces...

Dear friends

During our visit to Guatemala last year a man  prayed over me saying that I will live in homes I didn’t own and drive in cars that wasn’t mine.

Now, at the time that sounded crazy and I was most sceptical.

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!!!!!  

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...

This week we were blessed with the presence of Floyd McClung and Retief Burger!!!  It was so amazing!  These 2 very tall men are really "BIG" men of God!!  It was a chapter in my live I would certainly remember!!  I want to thank them for spending time with us, even though they both are very busy!  It was a honour to feel God's presence through you, also by worshiping and telling our stories in only 3min without useing Christian terms! I also want to thank my mom and dad.  You are the best and even though you are  still close, I...

So we've been away from South-Africa for about 5 and a half months now! Here's some news on what we've been upto as a team as just some personal growth and all kinds of things. Basically a brief overview this rollercoaster year so far... Okay in the beginning of March we started off in Brazil. There our main ministry was strengthening the ties between Global Challenge and the Agape church. We were commissioned to disciple 5 people from the church and meet and pray with them regularly. We also went to the tribes in the forest with Agape where they shared...
