africa christian church faith god jesus jesuschrist missiontrip molibongwe safari southafrica

This is a journal I wrote while I was on a week long mission trip in South Africa.

You'll read stories about my adventure to South Africa, interactions with the locals, the amazing food, and most importantly how God used that week to transform me, those on the mission team, and those who we interacted with.

Before each day I have a reference verse as a thought or concentration for the day. Hope it is encouraging to you!

I will hopefully be able to update this story weekly!All Rights Reserved

Zaïdan by vallaryz

"How can your God love me?" I asked in pure distress. "How can He love me after everything I've done? Doesn't He know where I come from or who I am? What I am?" "He does but that doesn't stop Him from loving you all the same." "How is that possible?" I wiped my eyes. "God is love; He loves you because it's in His nature to do so." He said and I could barely comprehend what he meant. "Give Him a chance to show His love to you." "I don't understand and I don't think I want to." I shook my head in denial. "I will see you later." I took the easy road and chose to run away, living in a world where I could be free and live happily was a dream I had given up on long ago. Especially now. "God loves you and believe it or not I do too. I love you Zaya, so much that I want you to be my wife." He said and I stopped on my tracks, then I turned to look at him intently. Marriage? Could I ever have that? "What?" I asked him. "Marry me," he looked into my eyes and I panicked. He meant it for some reason and that alone was enough to make me run away like the coward I was. * * * * * * * * Life was easy and perfect for Zaidan Nawan, she had everything. From the looks to the riches, she was the envy of so many people in the clan. But everything came crashing down when her father lost the battle to a wild lion and her twin brother died mysteriously. Being exposed to a series of misfortunes was enough for her family to be looked upon as cursed. Out of fear and wickedness, they were labelled black legs by the people and excluded from the community. After receiving a message, she sought to restore her family's fallen glory. After a search, she found her breakthrough, her solution in the person of Isaac Delaney, the careless white man who settled down with his people in a camping site deep into the forest. But things didn't work out as planned and when she thought everything was over for her, God found her. And just like that, her life began.

MY JOURNEY HOME: 2022 by prejudice94

N/B God Centric Journaling my path home to myself, Navigating through the highs and the lows, Living each day as it comes, Being grateful, Being verbal, Trying to be rational and logical, Keeping my writer-self alive. God, truth, beauty, joy, happiness, unpleasantness, sadness, love, challenges, the mind, the human, struggles, inspiration, and the Word. N/B I wrote this when I was going through a difficult transition and I did it for different reasons; to keep tabs on my mental state, to authentically express my emotions, to be present in the moment, and allow myself to sit in the feels, to have something to look back at, etc.

He saved you He saved me What about others? by Robbymak

The world was full of trouble. Full of confusion and a catastrophic dilemma. One couldn't imagine at what destructive measure it would disintegrate into. While so many things were done to make the world a better place. At some point, it would later be revealed that the biggest problem was not a lack of educational facilities or a lack of health facilities. Believe it or not, Africa, also wasn't the world's biggest problem. The problem with the world today is sin. Sin brought about problems that would perpetuate into many more generations to come! It's almost unbelievable that someone would leave greener pastures to settle in a beat-down environment like Earth. One would wonder what this being could ever want. If life existed beyond the surfaces of our universe, why stay? If there was the possibility of walking with a glory that outshined the brightness of the sun, why hesitate? God cannot love us anymore than He loves our neighbor. His love tank is so vast that it accommodates everyone. Had He only sent Jesus Christ to the rich or the poor in African households, His love would then be conditioned to those that qualified. What makes His love so unique and strange is that He loves the broken and the sinners. He loves those of us that are unlikeable and unattractive. He persuaded His only son to die gruesomely to have all of mankind at His bosom. In the movies, opening doors and buying a bouquet of flowers is symbolic of love. In families, love is expressed in many different kind of forms. Even animals have ways in which they show affection. While all of that might stand out. It cannot be compared to the love of God. God can feel love, and He is love!

I'm A God Girl by AmethystAnonymous

I thought to myself, I could not possibly be the only teenage girl out there who wants to grow deeper and stronger in faith. I could not possibly be the only teenage girl out there who is struggling in living the Christian life. There has got to be other teenage people out there who can relate with what I am going through. So I had this idea of posting this for people out there to see. This is not a devotional. This is more like a faith journal. How and what I write here is like how I write in my notebook that is just between me and God. Only, I'm sharing it with you.

Diary Of A Hermit: Intimacy With GOD by Rtabaranza774

This will be a compilation of my daily journal as I entered into a month of solitude as a guest Hermitine at D'Sanctum. I am so grateful for this experience, it was an intense period of solitude, rest and prayer. God is really so good!

STOIC by Eliyang1

Stoic f**king Dokken, his name reflects his character. Impossible to read, always serious, always silent, difficult to reason with, tough like a f**king boulder. The man is built like a beast, towering over the crowd like a true Nordic god. His deep blue eyes reading right through people's souls. Stoic is the man that grown men fear, the object of every woman's desire, and the mother f**king bastard my parents want me to marry. What should do when I only have one month and two options, escape from the clutches of the devil himself and lose my family or be forced to live the rest of my life on all fours, breeding for a gigantic misogynist asshole and making my father proud. Time is running out and the words we don't say out loud empowers our forsaken homonym silence.

Our Journey With Him [A Christian Romance] by Sophie_dara

Stephanie Darasimi Ajayi is a 27 year old freelance interior designer in Lagos, Nigeria. At that age, with no prospective husband, everyone starts to bother her about finding a partner, but no one seems to get that she is trusting God's timing with her future spouse. He has promised her that He has someone for her, but she has to trust His timing. Omotayo Jayden Williams just turned 30. Although he owns a thriving restaurant, his mum has decided not to see past the fact that he is not married and seems to have no desire for women. Why can't she understand that he just needs time to heal from his last relationship and reconnect with God. They meet in a not-so-pleasant way at a friend's wedding and seem to keep seeing each other around. Coincidence?... I think not. Come on this journey with Stephanie and Tayo as they seek to put God first while navigating this thing called life. ~ "Are you really upset with me? I was joking.... o de ti binu beyen (and you're already angry)" he chuckles. "Jokes are supposed to be funny, Tayo." I reply with an unimpressed look. "Alright, I'm sorry." He walks up to me and with his arms wrapped around my waist and my back to his chest, he whispers slowly delivering gentle kisses to my neck "Ife mi, ayo mi, eni okan mi (my love, my joy, the one who owns my heart), please forgive me for teasing you about your hair" I giggle at his attempt to win my forgiveness even though we both know that I wasn't really angry. Turning to face him, I'm in awe by the fact that this is what my life is now; engaged to this beautiful, God seeking, loving, intelligent man, I'm nothing short of blessed. God really does keep his promises. "Forgiven." ~ This book will not contain explicit scenes or cursing, but it will include the everyday struggles of anyone seeking God in this generation... That being said, I pray this book reaches and helps someone who feels like they relate to the topics in this book... HAPPY READING 🤗🫶🏾

Roses and Thorns. by realebethe

He tightly grabs me by my waist and he holds me in place while I still continue to get captivated by whatever it is that is happening here. "Tell me what you see." He commands in a voice that sounds so beautifully smooth and pleasant to listen to. My words are choked up and I can't even begin to explain what lies in those eyes of his. Something about his presence is reeling me in, pulling me more soulfully closer to him, something that i am not even sure is possible but I feel this connection to him, this ancient ancient connection, like I had seen him before, like I had known him for a long time, a life time. And the way he's holding me !!! He feels familiar and yet I don't even know who this man is and it would be crazy if I told him that I've seen a Storm in his eyes, a storm that I had never seen anything like it in my life. It was beautiful and enchanting. Everything that he Is at the moment. "Nothing... I didn't see anything." I lie, as my mind fully gets back to me again, and the storm finally dissappears. He let's go of me and i move to stand on my own. He looks at the features all over my face before he furrows his thick brows, in concern while he continues to stand awfully close to me and gosh he smells so good. A huge strike of lightning echoes outside before immediate rain starts pouring outside. I could have sworn that there was a zero percent chance of rainfall tonight, it was clear and there were no clouds insight, the ocean below the balcony starts to get angry too as the waves get aggressive and the moon looks as vibrant as ever right now. We both look outside before we look at each other again. "Are you sure that you saw nothing ?" He asks and I nod my head at him. "Nothing..."

He Walks With Me by Prajakta_w0218

This is a place where I will pour out my prayers, dreams, and the moments when I feel God's presence the most. Life is a journey filled with joy, struggles, and lessons, but through it all, I believe He walks with me-guiding, strengthening, and shaping me. Through this story, I want to capture the times when His love felt near, the whispers of His guidance, and the quiet reassurances that I am never alone. One day, when I look back, I hope to see how He has led me, step by step, through every season of my life. May this be a testimony of His unfailing love, a reminder that no matter where I go, He walks with me.
