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...

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...

We drove in from the border and immediately we were met with the beautiful landscapes that Georgia is known for. Endless views of mountains and trees… Georgia was already making a good first impression and it was getting us even more excited. Our plans for Georgia had started out somewhat vague. The previous day we had sat at the border in Turkey, praying for accommodation for our time in Georgia… and thankfully, after several calls and connections, the Lord made a way and we were received by a local church not too far from where we would be receiving training from South African...

Moment TenWritten by: Marco Prinsloo Time and again I am utterly amazed at the way God provides. Throughout my life and especially throughout this year I have seen God as Jehovah Jireh. There are countless moments and instances I can recall where God has miraculously provided for us as a team or individually, whether it’s on a Luke 10, a travel challenge, or if our food budget is low. For me, however, I have been incredibly grateful for the way God has kept us safe throughout our travels and ministry this year. One of the values and aspects of Global Challenge is to truly trust God...
