Traveling Light, what we do!

As Traveling Light, we support projects of various Christian organizations in more than 32(!) countries in Europe. Most of you know that by now ๐Ÿ˜. Topics are faith-based rehabilitation, care for the poor and displaced, evangelism, etc. etc.

We encourage the workers in such organizations in three ways, namely: financially by fundraising, practically by visiting, and spiritually by teaching.

๐Ÿ‘‰But we do so much more! Whether you have been a donor for years or have just joined, it doesn't matter... it's good to realize that through your generosity, presence, availability and/or prayers you are part of a large (net)work! Let's take a look at some of the other recent activities.

๐Ÿ ŠFrom May 4-7, we visited the Europe Teen Challenge conference in Rimini, Italy. There were more than 270 participants (many of whom we know personally) from 23 countries,

๐Ÿ ŠOn May 19 and 20, we participated in the AG (Assemblies of God) leadership conference in Ede. We were very encouraged while there, something we need just as well!

๐Ÿ ŠOn May 25, we participated in a business (sponsorship) event of Alpha Nederland. Very encouraging again to see and hear what the impact of Alpha is.

๐Ÿ Š We are currently giving an Alpha course in Twinkeltje for the 5th time. We are also involved in giving Alpha Prison in various detention centers and prisons in the region as well as in organizing church services in prison.

๐Ÿ Š Then of course there is our shop/coffee house Twinkeltje. On Saturday and Monday afternoons, people come and go for a cup of coffee, talk, or prayer.

๐Ÿ Š We organize various Bible study meetings in small groups.

๐Ÿ ŠMonday May 29th, we are involved in an open-air service of the Hoeksteen and the Street church of Jim & Lynda Hayes in Etten-Leur.

๐Ÿ ŠOn June 10th we will be in Zurich for the annual meeting of Comunita Brezzano. We have again been asked to provide the afternoon program (theme: Sabbath).

๐Ÿ ŠFrom June 15-18, Jan will participate for the 10th time (!) in the Balkan conference My Brother's Keeper, which will be held in Montenegro this time.

๐Ÿ Š In between all of this, we pay many personal visits to people who need prayer and encouragement.

๐Ÿ Š We receive, read and respond to newsletters from all those organizations and ministries in over 32 countries. That alone is a ministry in itself!

๐Ÿ Š We will keep you informed via the news items on this blog.

๐Ÿ Š We maintain good contacts with various non-profit organizations and churches in our area.

๐Ÿ Š And perhaps one more time: all donations will go towards the projects we support, and not to us. We are all volunteers and work to make a living.
