Author: One Year Expedition

Russia was not in our plans originally but through miraculous provision and guidance we got to visit this amazing country. The Russian people we had the privilege to meet at various churches truly know how to practice hospitality – just as we as believers are commanded to do. We received a particularly warm welcome from one of our own team members’, Tim’s family. It was a beautiful reunion especially since Tim had not seen them in a year. After a day of rest we were divided into three groups that went to three different regions: Krasnodar, Sochi and Anapa. ...

It was quite a long travel expedition to get here in Tbilisi. 38 hours in total. It feels weird to say we are in Europe after spending so much time in Asia, but a new beginning is always exciting for Globallers. The team had some time off in the beautiful capital city of Georgia, Tbilisi, where we explored Old Town, tried traditional food and stood in awe of the surrounding nature. Our big team split up into two, not into our usual teams, but into Purple and Yellow teams. The Yellow team left to their ministry point in the countryside as the Purple team eagerly waited to see what...

Luke 19:10 NIV“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Upon entering Delhi, as we anticipated, we had a culture shock. It took a day or two to adjust to our new environment, a lot like lost sheep except we know our good Shepherd is always close by or on His way.

Our first week was to be spent in Delhi, a very busy city with a variety of religions but evidently all missing the one true God. Our host was a South African missionary that took us on...

During our 6-week-long stay in Thailand – the longest time we have spent in any country during this year – we had plenty of opportunities to draw nearer to God, as our provider and strength, and to grow in our relationships with our teammates.The Green Squad was first to arrive at the new Ministry point in Chiang Rai, Thailand, and immediately delved into various ministry opportunities. The Blue Squad was however not far behind, having traveled all the way from Cambodia. Soon the whole team was reunited and ready for action. The team on a house visit. We spent...

Just like that we flew to Vietnam to proclaim God’s Kingdom yet again in another country. Unaware of the challenge ahead, the team eagerly wondered what our ministry here would look like. God had some ministering to do to us first before we could continue, so we jumped straight into our very first travel challenge-  200km, 4 days, money for only food, in a country where very little understand English, and one faithful God. Practicing to trust God for your “daily bread” suddenly becomes a main priority and then you realise how important it is for day to day living. One of the travel...
