International work continues, even after returning to Holland yesterday. Today, together with some of our leaders, I met up with Myles Wilson, author of ‘Funding the Family Business‘ and widely known crack in the area of raising personal support. We were all impressed by his way of working, the strong biblical context he puts it in and his creativity in the practise of raising support. … Lees verder Building better senders
The Dutch have lived up to their image of direct and blunt communicators once again. During the Sunday afternoon-sessions, the feeling grew that something was missing – let’s call it the God-factor. We were asked to discuss several topics in small groups with regard to building movements amongst students in cities, and some of the issues focussed on rather negative issues. So, when asked to … Lees verder The Dutch do it again
Javier started the sessions with one of Bill Bright’s legacies: how to think and live supernaturally. It is part of the Agape ‘DNA’, and still very accurate today.

Greetings from San Feliú de Guixols, Spain! My previous post was on reformed depression, but I’m actually in a state of Evangelical Happiness right now. We’re at one of those suffering-for-the-Lord occasions (as MvdW would call it); five days in a hotel called Eden Roc right on the Costa Brava. It is our annual ‘Round Table’-conference with leaders from all over Europe, and Spain always … Lees verder Suffering for the Lord

They describe this by the example of a 42-year old woman, soberly dressed, looking old, sleeping badly, to tired to take good care of her children. Although she runs her household completely, she feels incompetent. She cannot enjoy life, and when asked she feels there not much to enjoy anyway. She … Lees verder Reformed depression
Met up with Ben and Charlotte Ecklu today, leaders of Campus Crusade West-Africa. They oversee a region of 10 countries with over 200 million people. It was very inspiring to see and hear how they are pursuing true transformation in Africa by working with the top leaders. We talked a lot about the topics that I blogged about some time ago (‘Masses and leaders’), and … Lees verder Talking about leaders…
Had an excellent time this afternoon in Oosterhout. I was invited in the annual ‘Expedition Agapè’, our new staff training week held in a holiday bungalow, to share on where Agapè is going. It was very encouraging to meet 13 new staff, mostly young people, and talk about our dreams and visions. I chose to base my talk on John 13:3, where it says that … Lees verder Expedition Agapè
