EXPECTATIONS!!!

HEY!!!!!!!
Please Please Pray for us... A dear friend of mine and myself, have decided that one way we can contribute towards, the revival we waiting for on campus, is by starting prayer once a week... Last semester we had it for 3 weeks, and had a great time, of worship and chillin with Jesus. This semester we want it grow, right outta that little room we were in, ultimatly we want that to be a time where we can pray and minister to people, but for us to fill up as well.

Very Excited for this, as Karlien and I both feel it's what we need to do, and we trusting God for this, to grow, but also just go according to His will.

Thank You!!!

TRIAL RUN!!

This is my First Trial Video. As some of you may know I am slowly but surely starting a campus ministry. This will take time as I’m still busy building relationships, but this weekend we are starting with a prayer walk and ministry on campus.

So please pray that The Ministry may grow, that people will be touched by the walk and ministry on Friday and Saturday, and that there will just be an incredible anointing as we pray for people.

Shalom :D

P.S. Please check the Video Out!

LAST Dayzz In India! (Originally Written 26/05/11)

As everything comes to an end, I can only say thanks to everyone who made it possible, everyone who supported me in prayer and and every other way too I really from the bottom of my heart do appreciate it.
In India I realised how much I value the people in my lfe, not been around all my friends and family for so long has really shown me how much I actually need them.
Now I'm just so excited to get back to South Africa tomorrow and see all my friends and hear their stories of how amazing God was on their trips.
When I get back I'm only gonna be with the rest of the DTS for 5 days, but God is good and I'm trusting Him to bring us back together again soon, so that we can continue doing Gods work together.
This has been an amazing experience, I'll never regret it or forget it...but for now its time to be in South Africa again.....even though its about 40 degrees colder than India!!

Be Blessed

Cause this is India! (Originally Written 29/04/11)

Havent posted for quite a while but things have been CrAZY!!!!! Since my last post I've taught at a bible school, and been really blessed by the response to the call for prayer at the end. Painted a church, and attended a service in the "new" church. Lived in a village, enjoyed the hard floor, the hole for a toilet and best of all pumping my own water to take a bath out a bucket pouring water over myself with a cup...good times!! I had a lot of fun, living with the people in the village and learning about them and their culture.
All in all India has been amazing and its been a true blessing, these people don't have a lot but still they want to give me the best they have, I really am blessed to be here.

One thing I have really come to realise is how blessed I am, and how I take things for granted. The fact that I can lay on a bed every night, watch TV when ever I want, turn on lights when its dark, turn on a tap when I want water.....those LITTLE things that so many people take for granted are LUXURY here!!
It's not easy in India! It's not nice having NO religious freedom, It's not nice riding down the road and seeing people give sacrifices and worship other gods because they are just so lost and brainwashed, kids programmes on cartoon network and disney channel that have gods as their main characters.
It's not nice seeing baby after baby being born because a woman needs to have a boy, and all those girls have no future but to be married off as a young teen if they lucky enough, it's too expensive to let your daughter get married because the woman pays. In the village we went to I had a woman ask me to keep her child! I guess she just didn't want the child.

My heart is broken for India, and I hope to come back one day when I can just serve these people. They need it, but the crazy thing is...so do so many other places in the world. We are More than Conquerors!

Be Blessed!

Our God is greater, Our God is stronger. (Originally Written 8/04/11)

WOAH!! God is so good! In India being a Christian is like being a porcupine in a balloon shop, just not really acceptable. So I was really struggling with the fact that I can't just be open and go tell people about Jesus, but God has been so good, and he has brought our ministry to us. We have had Muslims and Hindu's come and ask us for prayer. Most of them are coming to us for miracles, because they have realized that their gods don't help them and they want to try our God out, and our God, has been so faithful, and we have seen Hindu women in tears and prayed for a lot of healing.

One thing that really touched me was in this one house a 13 year old girl has accepted Jesus as her Saviour, but her parents are still strong Hindu's and at first they didn't like it, but now that they have seen the change in her, and the miracles of God, they have started opening up to it. The faith of that girl to go against what she was brought up in and what her parents believe is incredible.

Last night, I had the opportunity to preach at the local service, of Hindu's and Christians mixed, it was really amazing, and God really moved. The language barrier is a bit much at times, but God is faithful and we manage.

So far CULTURE SHOCK is CRAZZZZY!! But I know God has a plan and thats great and I'm waiting to see what he has in store for us next...We will be moving to the next city in a few days, amazing opportunities there as well. Cant wait!

Be Blessed!
Miss you all!!!!

This is Outreach...Travelling! (Originally Written 3/04/11)

WOW...after plane tickets been messed up in Cape Town, and being delayed in Mumbai causing us to miss all 3 trains that could get us home, we FINALLY made it after 36 hours of travelling!!!
It's so crazy, we've been chased off the platform by police, we've seen children carving idols, we've eaten funky vegetable curry, we've seen people washing their cows, as an act of worship...WOW...when they say nothing prepares you for India they mean it. There was a children's ride outside a shop, that was a god. It's CRAZY!!!!
We are starting tomorrow, with our ministry, today we all slept in till after lunch! But we are all very excited to get started tomorrow, and can't wait to see what God has planned for us.
Hope all is well, with all the other teams! I know God is using each and every person weather in Japan, Mozambique or India, to make a difference for Him, and it makes me soo excited!!!

God Bless!

CALLING TO MISSIONS! (Originally Written 21/03/11)

Well I’ve been shaken around on this topic, I’ve always known that God has a calling on my life, into the mission field, but I always thought maybe it’s just to minister to the people in my work place.

BUT this week God opened my eyes to something greater, he showed the importance of me being obedient, and following him to the corners of the world, to the unreached people, those who are waiting for someone like me, to come and share the good news.

CRAZY STATISTICS- 20% of Christians are willing to go out into the world, and go share the word of God. 98% of that 20% will go and share the word of God to underprivileged people, and people who already have resources and have heard of God that leaves 2% of us to go to the unreached and spread the gospel to all 4 corners of the earth. (Mark 16:15- He said to them, "Go into ALL the world and preach the gospel to ALL creation)

(Matthew 24:14 – This gospel of the kingdom will be preached as a testimony to ALL the nations)

This added wood to a fire that God started in my heart about a year ago, I have a passion for missions, and feel called to go out into the world and share the word of God, but not just to anyone, I want to be used in the unreached areas of the world. This means I’m going to be doing more training through YWAM, which is going to open up so much for me. *EXCITED*

*ROMANS 8:28-39* This showed me...

WE ARE ALL GOOD ENOUGH TO BE USED BY GOD TO CHANGE THE WORLD, NO MATTER WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST, OR FAILED TO DO IN THE PAST, GOD WILL USE US!

AMEN <3
