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

I think i'm only coming to the realisation of what God has called me to as His child now. Saying that - it is still a journey. What it means to say "yes" and what He means when He tells me to go. We spent most of our lives without knowing the full truth about who we are without Jesus, how rotten and evil our true nature really is and also without the full truth about what Jesus really did and what He enables us to do when He calls us. I am finding myself at a place where God...

Ola por favor! (Hello, please!) This is a common phrase used by Southbound in Brazil, mostly because we just don’t understand the language too well!
They say pictures are worth a thousand words and speak louder than words (or is it actions). Well, either way, pictures capture the action… So, without further a due, dum-dum-dum! (That’s the sound of drama) Presenting (for your viewing pleasure): A short, Yellow team photo montage of Ubatuba – Brazil.
Maayong Buntag everyone…or aayong hapon / gabii depending on the time of day you are reading this blog! We have just returned from working with Church of God Arise children’s camp on Olango Island in the Vasayas region of the Philippines, on one of 7000+ islands here. The Philippino people are really lovely and we have enjoyed getting to know their cultural traits and being a part of their lives the past 8 days.
Spending hours, days and even weeks in small
dusty towns in China. Walking past thousands of lost souls, hundreds of
struggling beggars, all Dieing! Looking into their eyes and the tears start to
flow. I have no way to communicate, no way to bring them the Truth. Bring them
Life!
I could probably think of better titles, but then again why would i when God takes us all on a journey of FAITH that exemplifies the verses of this chapter. With that said, a couple of days before we left Guatamala on our Luke 10 journey i had a dream about going to the red gas station in Panajachel getting into a brown truck drive to Sololar and once there walk up a steep hill and then..... i woke up! I am overwhelmed to report as we left the house in Pana things happened very much in the order God...
