Georgia

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 friends. The...

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.

God could provide for me much more than just “an experience”, but also through a reviving of my soul. Eternally more important than a year of traveling, God provided a way to show me his love in a way I had never experienced before through the many countries and cultures...

Israel

Israel, the holy land where bible stories come to life and suddenly the characters that we grow up reading about become real people. The events that unfolded on the soil of the holy land suddenly feel within reach. Places that were once constructed by your imagination meet your eyes and just like that the bible no longer feels like a fairy tale but rather pages with records of real people, real events, that have a real impact. God’s word seems to take on a new shape, and we have a renewed perspective of the history of our faith. This is what made Israel special. Upon arriving in Israel we...
