Makhathini: Putting on the full armour of God

Written by One Year Expedition on March 6, 2025. Posted in One Year Expedition 2025. No Comments on Makhathini: Putting on the full armour of God

How blessed are we to minister at our first ministry point? It is an absolute privilege to go out into the nations as ambassadors for Jesus and to see how He moves. Going out into the unknown was both exciting and nerve wracking, but we learned if you have no expectations you won’t have any disappointments! Arriving at our new Missions House, the smell of a home cooked meal welcomed us. We were blessed with beds and warm showers after our two day travel. Isn’t God wonderful? For the next 5 days the team dove straight into work. Many empty paint cans and dirty brushes later, the...

Ephesians 4:11-13 ESV[11] And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, [12] to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, [13] until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.What a privilege to be called the Global One Year Expedition team of 2025. What a privilege to have had the opportunity to be equipped during training ‘for the work of the ministry’ that lies ahead of us. However, as 19...

TURKEY | THE LAND OF POSSIBILITY

Global challenge is an incredible way to see the world and to serve people in a variety of ways. When we submit ourselves to the Lord to be used in the kingdom, the possibilities are endless. Don’t be mistaken, this doesn’t always mean moving across the globe but also stirring up a fire for the Lord in our home towns, our schools, our workplaces – there is so much God still wants to do with a heart that says “Here I am Lord, send me.” A question asked by one of the long-term workers prompted heavy contemplation, “Why do you want to share your story with...

East Asia – Being a true follower of Christ

Written by One Year Expedition on September 22, 2023. Posted in One Year Expedition 2023. No Comments on East Asia – Being a true follower of Christ

This was our first time in a country where Christians are openly persecuted. Christians here are thrown in jail or given a death sentence for saying the name Jesus. When you are in this situation, you find yourself asking the Lord… What does it really mean to be unashamed of the gospel? What does it look like to be a disciple of Jesus? What does it look like to take up your cross daily, or to deny yourself and follow Jesus? Jesus said in Luke 9:23, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.’ What does this mean? When Jesus...

Thailand | First time around

Written by One Year Expedition on September 15, 2023. Posted in One Year Expedition 2023. No Comments on Thailand | First time around

Having just come from a fast-paced country, which included a lot of travelling and reflecting, we now arrived in Thailand. Here we met our wonderful host and submitted under the vision God gave him many moons ago. Our time in Thailand was surrounded by children. We engaged in environmental ministry and a good dose of intercession for the nation. This place has it all… people of all flavours from all over the world, living for all the right and wrong reasons. Unfortunately, many of Thailand’s issues concerning purity come from the genuine needs of people. The reality is the world is...
