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...

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...

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:...

The Lord’s heart for His People A week doesn’t seem like a lot of time for the Lord to create drastic and transformative change in a person’s heart, but that’s exactly what he did in the team during our stay in Uganda… We arrived in Uganda expectant of the type of ministry we were going to do but what we didn’t expect is how much it would impact us. We prepared ourselves to head off into the ghettos and to share the gospel with whoever was brought unto our path. One of our host’s disciples, Zaga, took us under his wing and accompanied us to a few ghettos...

Kenya

During our 15 day stay at the Olkoroi Camp, the Maasai people welcomed us with open arms. They quickly showed us how to integrate into the culture and soon enough all of us were clothed in Maasai blankets and walking around with our Maasai walking sticks, which we made ourselves. Whilst staying in the midst of nature with wildlife encircling our tents, we were continuously blessed with the sound of what seemed like hundreds of birds announcing the beginning of each new day and magnificent views that displayed vast forestry. We were taken aback by the majesty of creation, and the majesty of...
