Dancing with Camels: Lessons of Endurance on the Journey of Faith

About this ebook
Moving from discipleship to apostleship on the journey of faith will require that we sit down and count the cost once again, but this time on a higher level.
Let us consider the words of A. J. Nock: The mind is like the stomach. It is not how much you put into it that counts, but how much it digests.
So let us digest, act, and do.

As a young sport student at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, Mike committed his life to the Lord in 1976. Immediately after his conversion, he was introduced to missions as he travelled to the Montreal Olympic Games on an outreach with Youth with a Mission. In 1979, Mike and Helen got married, and two years later, they left South Africa to join the Anastasis, the Mission Ship of YWAM, in Greece. The impact of experiencing a broken world without Jesus changed their lives irreversibly, and their travels around the globe confirmed their calling time and time again. Upon their return to South Africa, Mike and Helen were introduced to the ministry of Open Doors, the organization that specializes in ministering to Christians in closed countries. They knew this was where the Lord has placed them and joined Open Doors in 1987. For the next twenty-two years, Mike and Helen had the incredible joy of serving the Lord by serving his church in closed countries. He was able to minister into the former Eastern Europe and travelled extensively into Africa, the Arab World, Asia, and the Middle East. The privilege of eating, praying, and crying with those who have sacrificed all for the honor of bearing the cross of Jesus has left a deep impression in their lives. Mike served as national director of Open Doors South Africa before moving to the UK, where he was appointed as vice president development of Open Doors International. Mike and Helen moved back to South Africa in 2009 with a new vision to assist the local church to interpret news events from a biblical perspective and approaching mission more strategically. To facilitate this vision, INcontext Ministries was established in 2010 with a goal of assisting believers in UNDERSTANDING global events within a Kingdom context.
