A Moment of Praise – Intro

Written by One Year Expedition on September 1, 2022. Posted in A Moment of Praise. 1 Comment on A Moment of Praise – Intro

Introduction Recently our team has been reminded about the fact that the God we serve is truly our provider. This whole year has been an amazing testament of how well the Father looks after us, and we just thought it fit to share some amazing testimonies about how He has consistently shown up for us this year. We see the importance of sharing what He is doing in our lives and for that reason, we cannot keep quiet. We are overflowing with gratitude and we wish to impart unto you the reasons we are developing what I believe is unwavering faith. Let this be a moment of praise. To look back...

Bolivia

Written by One Year Expedition on August 29, 2022. Posted in One Year Expedition 2022. 1 Comment on Bolivia

Our team experienced Bolivia a little bit different than it did all the other countries. Initially, when we were praying for our route, we felt that the Lord’s plan for us in Bolivia wasn’t ministry amongst hosts…we had gotten direction that Bolivia is where we had to go but simply to pass through. So we did a classic Global style, Luke 10. We split up into groups and headed out to get from Santa Cruz to La Paz in 6 days hitchhiking with no money, just us, our thumbs out begging for lifts, and God. Considering we were split into groups, it’s no easy task to try to summarise everyone’s different...

Paraguay

Every nation always has something different to give…a different aspect of God to reveal to us, and Paraguay was no different. A common misconception is that on a year like this, the purpose is to go out and make a change, to impact rather than be impacted… but everywhere we’ve gone so far it seems to be that the nations always have so much more to give us than we could ever give… We were in Paraguay for a short week, but during this week we really saw God’s kindness and his generosity in the people around us. So many were rushing to bless us with whatever they could offer but the...

Brazil

What about Brazil makes her so warm, so welcoming, so inviting, colourful and alive? The country’s beauty and attractiveness goes way beyond the graffiti on it’s walls, the music that lingers in the streets or even the beautiful “touristy” infrastructure… what really makes Brazil special is her people. A nation that doesn’t shy away from welcoming any traveller whether from far or near, into their homes and offering up everything they have, to be shared joyfully and generously. The culture which is a will to serve and enjoy things along with us, is an attribute that one could...

Living to Love with Jesus

Written by One Year Expedition on July 3, 2022. Posted in One Year Expedition 2022. 1 Comment on Living to Love with Jesus

After our time in East Africa we headed back to Johannesburg to get more training, and to rejuvenate ourselves before our next leg in South America. We did a course with Norm Wakefield called Live to Love and the whole team can agree that this course was not only convicting but life changing as it opened our eyes in terms of how we see the world and how we see each other. It challenged a world view that most of us didn’t even know we had and it enabled us to re-examine the way we are approaching ministry and the people that we are being sent to love. We asked ourselves questions like: “Are...
