I just returned from two weeks in South Africa.  We started in Johannesburg, went south to the very bottom of Africa and ended up in Cape Town. We called it a “Vision Journey” as we took 27 friends of HCJB Global with us. The weather was terrific! The folks traveling with us were fun and anxious to learn about what we saw and felt.

We do Vision Journeys four times a year. Two of the trips always go to South America to where HCJB Global started and then two of the trips travel to other regions. This one was to the Sub-Sahara Africa region.

We visited several ministry projects and several partner ministries dealing with incredible needs.

We fed homeless people, applauded children doing tribal dances and held hands with people struggling with AIDS.

We walked through huge displacement/refugee townships and prayed for everything we saw, felt, and smelled.

We marveled at the faithfulness of our partners as they work in difficult situations with people of great need and few resources.   These trips really challenge your comfort status. It rearranges your priorities. It makes you pray differently.

Why don`t you join us on one of these trips? Next fall our president, Wayne Pederson, we will be taking a group to Australia, New Zealand and the island of Fiji.

It will be good for you and good for the folks you visit.

Now, Barb and I are off to Singapore to train a group of 13 National leaaders in leadership. Talk about fun! It will be a great week.

Isn`t it a blast to serve Jesus!

I am so excited to share this amazing blog with you!

Recently a couple of the staff from WBFJ made the long trip over to Lesotho, South Africa to hand out SonSet solar powered radios. These radios are a light in a dark place and a needed resource for those living in poverty to be able listen to the gospel. We`re so thankful for WBFJ who partnered with us to raise the funds to send these ministry tools.

During the trip the team also worked along side HCJB Global`s partner station in Lesotho, Harvest FM, to make sure the radios were put into the right hands. The SonSet radios were handed out to four villages, Sehlaberg Masera, Teya-Tayaneng, Kolmyama and Mahuu Rothe Maseru.  What a mouth full!
