Moment TwoWritten by: Alicia du Plessis God has been providing for me and the team in many different ways during the year.Our South American travel costs are not cheap at all and at one point God tested our faithfulness and willingness to listen to Him. Our travel itinerary looked as follows:Brazil to Paraguay, Bolivia to Peru and back to Brazil through the Amazon River. This required a lot of traveling and money and when traveling with 11 people things can get tricky. Our first country in South America was Brazil. The people there blessed us in abundance, we hardly touched our budget...

It was certainly a trip that we were excited about…we had been holding our excitement for this experience for what seemed like forever and the time had finally arrived. We were going to spend 4 days and 3 nights on a boat on the Amazon river, sleeping in hammocks and engaging in conversations, while simultaneously looking out onto the waters and into the mystery that is the infamous Amazon rainforest. What a dream. The Lord had opened this door for us and we knew that He had a plan…like He always does of course. We arrived on the boat on Day 1, set up our hammocks and took a moment to...

One of the things we experienced most during our time In Peru, was seeing believers that have emerged...

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...

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...
