Project and activity news

On Saturday, September 9th we had another baptism party! What a beautiful day to baptize six people in the river. There was great joy and awe and that can be seen in this beautiful photo from joylephotography.nl

Whether people participated in the Alpha course, are family members or friends... everyone testified about what God had done in their lives for them to take this step. We are very grateful for that.

Together with a large group of family and friends we celebrated their steps in faith. Be sure to watch the video impression that Pieter Meijers made for us. You really get an idea of the special atmosphere.

Last May we wrote about the follow-up project of Christian Evangelical Community Issacar in Rivoli, Italy. At the beginning of September, we received the message that the roof of the future multifunctional center collapsed during the pouring of the concrete.

It is a miracle of God that no one was seriously injured. Even the newspaper said that it was clearly a miracle and that the workers were protected by the hand of God.

No one knows yet how this could have happened. The building is being built with the latest anti-seismic technology and has an iron beam every 30 cm, making it practically impossible to collapse, but it did. Inspections are currently taking place. The good news is that almost all of the iron used in the construction can be reused and the concrete can be used in the parking lot paving.

Would you please pray that the permit will be released quickly to clear the area and continue construction? And also that money will flow from the community to cover all unexpected expenses, such as a lawyer and an inspection engineer.

This month, the proceeds from our secondhand shops Twinkeltje and De Schor will go to the work of Radko & Nevin Kratsov in Bulgaria. In collaboration with Youth with a Mission (YWAM Sliven), they are active on many fronts within the Roma community, which extends throughout southeastern Europe.

Radko provides education and leadership training in Bulgaria and surrounding countries and helps Roma people develop a Biblical vision in every area of life: relationships, work, health, finances, etc.
