Miracles in Malawi

After a long bus ride, Eastbound arrived at our accommodation in the early hours of the morning. We were welcomed by a lovely host, who stays on a banana plantation, and his seven dogs barking their hellos. This would be a time of beauty, hard work, and seeing Jesus in the little details of His Creation. The ladies helped with pruning the banana trees. This keeps them happy and healthy, preventing insects from getting under old leaves, and weakening the plant. After tasting how sweet and fluffy the bananas were, we found a new perspective on the plant and through...

Malawi

Filled with beauty and splendour, this country came and touched our hearts. Smiling faces and lots of high-fives followed Westbound, wherever we went in Malawi.  At out first ministry point we learnt to behold and soak in the beauty of God. We stayed in a village called Chitimba in the Northern Region of Malawi, at a campsite with our hosts – a married couple representing the FCE (Foundation for Cross-cultural Education) organisation. There, we were blessed with wonderful, rare experiences. We attended churches accompanied by singing and dancing with the...

Zambia – Eastbound

There’s something so joyful in learning about one’s culture in the middle of the Zambian forest, chatting to a local around a fire, while watching the sunset and smoke rise into the air – almost like how we’d imagine our prayers lifting up to the Lord. How privileged we are to travel the nations, eat food we’ve never tasted before, sing passionately with people we have only just met, and pray under roofs, feeling the Holy Spirit move through the houses! So much happened in Zambia. Some of our team members were taught how to cook a traditional dish,...

Training 2026

Excitement, fear, and a longing for adventure. New faces, different personalities, all rushing to find their place. A lot of emotions were experienced the first days here at Global. Strangers turned into friends, who later turned into family. We all came together in Jeffreys Bay, from different parts of the world, all with our lives in a backpack and ready to be transformed throughout this year. In the first few weeks of training we learnt to wake up early, be flexible, and just get to know each other. We went to different camps, praying and ministering to kids of all ages. So...
