Here we are on the airport at Cairo International, just lying around waiting for our 1 am flight, when a little man with an even smaller bag comes and sits next to us and pulls out this huge bible. Obviously we notice and start a conversation. As it is, he is a believer travelling around the world to different ministries as the Lord leads him, on his way to India. Where like, hey! That’s what where doing! We invited him along and that’s how a very cool 3 weeks started with Kenny. Kenny has been walking with the Lord...
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.
You lead me to where my trust is with out borders, literally God lead me for the past 42 days over 7 countries with hardly any money or contacts. God prepared the way so long ago and with an ear to hear His voice. We saw His plans come to life by steping in obedience. God was the plan and there was no plan B. Graham Cooke says - there is absolutely no security in what God is doing... He does life different everyday, speaks in different ways and you can never put Him down to our comfortable 1, 2,...
Lord; In the cold light I live to love and adore You. It's all that I have, it's all that I am. In the cold light I live, I'll only live for You. It's all that I have it's all that I am This is my way of worship. To embrace every moment for what it truly is, a gift from You Lord. To understand that there is something beautiful in brokenness, even if that brokenness is in me, also knowing that in my greatest struggle there is a lesson to be learned. And h aving utter and complete...
I'm sitting in awe as a new day breaks over Mexico. Thinking back over the last ten days my heart can't formulate any words or songs to describe what it feels. God's ways are beyond words and beyond understanding; His plans cannot be contained in human minds! And still He allows us a glimpse of His glory! Our first six days in the small town, Chicomuselo, in southern Mexico, was filled with God displaying His power to draw people to Him. People were healed and set free when we prayed for them; some committed their lives to Him. And above...
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...
"Alive, alive, alive forever more My Jesus is alive Alive forever more" This is what is still echoeing in my ears after my time in India. What an awesome privilege to be part of this time and to see the change God is busy with in India - and especially in the kids of India. In India there is about 86 million orphans and street kids at the moment. This is the harsh reality of the era we are living in. The Lord remains faithful though and He will equip people to work with these kids and...
We can only describe the day we've had so far as absolutely crazy, bizarre, hectic and very intense (fun!!). We set out this morning at 8 o'clock, with one A4 paper stating detailed tasks for the day - to be documented by photographs as proof. The first couple of tasks we managed to do quickly: Sand papering a wooded balcony while reading Luke chapters 1 - 3 out loud, decoring a cake and washing out first of ten cars for the day. Then we went in search of the elusive "Sandkasteel", convinced that we must find a sand structure on the beach. After jogging and...
