After arriving in Istanbul for the third – and last – time this year, the team stayed at a local church for about a week. The church is located in the Sultanahmet district of Istanbul, which is where the old city of Constantinople is located. This area is a beautiful blend of rich historical architecture and the convenience of a highly developed urban area. Although famous for tourist attractions like the “Blue Mosque” and “Hagia Sophia”, this district also holds “The Grand Bazaar” and bustling street markets which offered some more...

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.

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.

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. India was approached with some apprehension but we were about to be pleasantly surprised by our experiences. 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...
