Marco! Polo! We all played Marco Polo when we were young.
Yet he was one of the first to document his travels to Asia and opened the pathway for Europe to enter the East.

Join us on our travels to the East.
I took a bus to Santa Rosa in Laguna this time, learning to use public transport like the locals. Instead of 3 000 Pesos for a taxi there and back it only cost 122 Pesos by bus! I have learned to find out how locals do things and it […]
I found out the church that I preached in yesterday was planted by Pastor Anthony Geraldo who is pioneering a work in KK (Kota Kinabalu) where I preached two weeks ago. The church is another Jesus Loves You Church in the district of Commonwealth, Quezon City in Manila. Pastor […]

Two typhoons hit the Philippines while I was there in July 2012. The streets in Manila were flooded and there was the usual ‘brownout’ as they refer to a blackout. The city was covered in darkness except for the few hotels that have their own generators. In the provinces many […]
Pastor S. Krishna Pillay from Simpang Empet (Four Junctions), Malaysia where I ministered before told us about the dramatic changes that have occurred since I ordained him as a Harvester minister on my last visit. A teacher called Rita Davy received instructions in a dream to go to a […]
Tent Campaign Evangelist John Maasbach invited me to come to Pakistan to teach during his campaign in Lahore. It was a great privilege to be there and to enter into the labours of his father, the late Johan Maasbach who inspired me to become a missionary. Quite a large team […]
