Marli

As you all know, I am transitioning into the corporate world and my seasons with financial partnership is ending. It is very sad to know I am not going to be in such constant communication with you all, but I do want you to keep on partnering with someone. Thus I am introducing you to Marielle (with her dog) and Anna- Marie (with the two boys). Marielle is part of Explore's Executive Leadership Team. She is one of the two founders and she takes care of the Explore team through out the year. She is also a Campus Minister/Missionary at Open Window in Centurion Southdowns. Anna joined the pioneering Explore Team in 2016 after which she felt the call to return to Maputo Mozambique to serve at our new church plant as a missionary. She hosted us in October when we were there and she is actually now discipling a student whom I met on Campus. These ladies are both dear friends of mine and I know they have the same fire burning in their hearts as I do.

These are the 2018 countries for Explore! So exciting!!!

Explorers of 2017! It's so awesome to have friends from Botswana and various areas of South Africa. #firstmotswanawedding #gabsissoclose

We had our last supper with this beautiful team on Tuesday night. They have all gone home for the next 11 days before they start in their first country BOTSWANA! I drove two of the Batswana ladies home to Gaborone yesterday. I am attending Nitah's (former explorer) sisters wedding tomorrow!! Even though I stayed with two Batswanas for a whole year, I'm still quite nervous of being in such an intimate setting of their culture. #theunknown #culturalbarriers #butilovethiscountry

It is so fulfilling to disciple someone whom you need and learn from too. #discipleshipisrelationship

May there be a new generation who won't have to lose their parents due to deception. A generation who knows their Father and Master. Streets of Cambodia #phnompenh #hopeful #littlepeople #exploring #travels

The Lovely Vietnam with its delicious cuizine and friendly faces. On the stage represented 5 different nations worshiping together. The motorbike and drinks culture absolutely persuaded us to want bikes. I reunited with my Fillipino friend- Lovely... and made a new friend- Chau even though this wasn't goodbye.

Photos from India and Nepal. Biggest lesson I learnt: Don't believe what tv shows you about how a countries people group looks like. All Indians DO NOT look like the Bollywood dancers. All Nepalis DO NOT look like the the tour guides to Mount Everest.
