God has planned out every step, allow the Holy Spirit to lead you. Placed in the heart of Eswatini, we sat at the feet of the one who created it all. We had the privilege of camping in a garden, where every tree, flower and animal reflects God’s Glory. The two weeks we spent at Umdoni allowed us to rest, process what happened in Mozambique and savour everything God has done in and through our lives. We worked on the land where we learnt to farm sustainably, plant trees, create vegetable gardens, grow algae to feed chickens, physically plant seeds and prepare the harvest, all while...

Mozambique

Redefining our outlook of what ministry looks like. Investing in the present, for the future, while trusting God to continue the work you started. This is what Mozambique was like for most of us. Throughout our journey and adventures here, we got to work hard, play hard and experience God’s glory regularly. Our hosts were a finely put together combo of Mozambicans and South Africans who ministered alongside us. Whether it was to de-bush a small yet trying piece of land, that would soon be a safe-haven for orphans, or to spend time playing soccer with locals and then worshiping with them, we...

Makhathini – Unified Diversity

Written by One Year Expedition on March 13, 2023. Posted in One Year Expedition 2023. 2 Comments on Makhathini – Unified Diversity

A place close to home, yet so different. Culture, language and so much more, defines a people group. Love and care is something fundamental, all of us appreciate and need it, but what does this practically look like in your culture? We had the privilege to live a semi-local life for two weeks here in Makhathini. Our hosts blessed us so much during our stay and almost everyone on the team can agree that Makhathini is a special place. From our short visit, we can testify that this place is filled with good stewards, truly caring communities and cows… yes you heard me, cows, chickens goats and...

Turkey

We left Georgia preparing ourselves for the next 7 days of hitchhiking that was being set before us… full of uncertainty but also full of faith, ready to see what God was planning for us. We took a bus from Georgia to a small town in Turkey called Rize, then we headed off on our journey. This hitchhiking journey, was extremely different to what we’re normally accustomed to, especially because this was basically going to be the last time we get to hitchhike this year and it would be the last high intensity adventurous thing we would be doing. Needless to say we were excited but also filled...
