Well, there is one prayer answered today! It is raining from early morning to late at night. We set off for Lake Galilee, where we want to spend some time today. Getting out of the city is quite a challenge, but after a while we find the right road: first down to Jericho and then […]

Dinner talks
We return to the hotel to have dinner close by, in an Arab place recommended by our friends. It is a good place, and we all enjoy the humus and eggplant salads. We have made a list of topics to discuss: personal life, future of the ministry, movement building, and Agapè Europe. When we start […]

In the Dutch Daily: Luisteren naar de blanke goeroe (‘Listening to the white guru’), a report on colleague Bram Krol meeting the Nepalese president. Bram’s ministry is amazing, especially in Nepal and in Congo where he is a revival preacher amongst the Pygmees. Thousands of people have come to Christ through his ministry, and the […]
