A Moment of Praise – part 6

Moment TenWritten by: Marco Prinsloo Time and again I am utterly amazed at the way God provides. Throughout my life and especially throughout this year I have seen God as Jehovah Jireh. There are countless moments and instances I can recall where God has miraculously provided for us as a team or individually, whether it’s on a Luke 10, a travel challenge, or if our food budget is low. For me, however, I have been incredibly grateful for the way God has kept us safe throughout our travels and ministry this year. One of the values and aspects of Global Challenge is to truly trust God...

Moment EightWritten by: Nicole Smith Usually when we think of God’s provision, money or food comes to mind. Recently God has shown me that He can provide in ways we don’t even know are possible.

The events that unfolded on the soil of the holy land suddenly feel within reach. Places that were once constructed by your imagination meet your eyes and just like that the bible no longer feels like a fairy tale but rather pages with records of real people, real events, that have a real impact.

Moment FourWritten by: Pasha Background:On the 19th of February, our team crossed the border of Lesotho. All of us went through except for me and Germine because we didn’t have visas. We spent a lot of time trying to come to terms with the officials but nothing worked. I was so frustrated because I already spent a month in Moscow not being able to join the team in January and now, I will be separated from them again for almost two weeks.Germine and I had to come back to Ficksburg, the town bordering Lesotho.Elzke was the only one who had a connection to the border and she asked her mother...
