God's Good and Perfect Plan - S.U.R.G.E Trip - Asuncion, Paraguay
by Nancy Govea -- Orange County, CA, USA — Wednesday, 22 February 2017 00:05
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take."
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT)
The 2016 SURGE trip to Asuncion, Paraguay was a testament to this scripture and to the power of God's good and perfect guidance. Originally, my plan was to attend only the conference in Peru, explore the city, and buy the typical "bring home to your family" gifts.
But God had a different plan.

A Mountain Top Experience
by Rodney Forslund -- London, United Kingdom — Friday, 13 January 2017 12:01
Many people climb mountains as part of a spiritual journey.
For me, a love for adventure, nature (mountains in particular), and a desire to connect with disciples from foreign churches drove my recent successful climb up Mount Kilmanjaro, Africa’s highest peak.
Ditto for the rest of my team: Lauri Hallila and Ylva Lindqvist from Helsinki, Finland, and Alex Scherer and Doris Walter from Zurich, Switzerland.
Having been to Mount Everest’s base camp in 2011, these four friends had been planning on climbing Mount Kilmanjaro. I was swept up in their enthusiasm and buoyed by their experience.
Although my journey up famous peaks was new, my involvement with Tanzania, home of Mt. Kilmanjaro was not.
