The adventures of Mark & Mira in America (1)
Wow, that was quite a trip. Travelling 46 hours and 20.000 km in 6 days, from 12 C to 32 C, by plane, rental car, taxi and golf cart… But it was fun. We travelled from Amsterdam to Atlanta to meet with a couple that are interested in our ministry. They have a fantastic place about 2 hours north of Atlanta, in the midst of … Lees verder The adventures of Mark & Mira in America (1)
Even more adventures
Okay, one or two more stories from the States. The conference theme was ‘Proclaiming the mystery’ (derived from Colossians 3), and to add some fun to it there was a mystery to be solved, somewhat like the game Clue. Mira had the privilege to play Hercule Poirot and present the solution of the mystery, which she did in a marvelous way of course. And guess … Lees verder Even more adventures
The adventures of Mark & Mira in America (3)
At 1.30 pm the second episode started: travelling to Phoenix. And guess what: long before rush hour, we hit a jam because of a traffic accident, downtown Atlanta… so we ended up running through the hallways in the airport, hitting a 2-kilometer long line for Security, running back, looking for another entrance, and then Mira made just a little mistake at the security gate: she … Lees verder The adventures of Mark & Mira in America (3)
The adventures of Mark & Mira in America (2)
The United States are a nice country. Really, I like it. The only thing is: you have to be ve-e-e-ry patient to get in… It took us ages to leave the airport: first of all we had to get through Immigration – about 50 minutes waiting time. When we got through, we took the luggage and went through customs – not mentioning some of the … Lees verder The adventures of Mark & Mira in America (2)
Rotterdam, Atlanta, Phoenix
Currently making preparations for another trip: next Wednesday Mira and I will fly to Atlanta, and the next day to Phoenix, to meet with potential supporters for Agapè, and especially the Rotterdam developments. I think it’s safe to say this is a unique opportunity, as many of the people we’ll meet have a heart for missions and are involved in some way with Campus Crusade … Lees verder Rotterdam, Atlanta, Phoenix
Where were you…
It’s early morning in Tyler, Texas at the Youth with a Mission base. As usual, we get up before 7 am, go for breakfast and then start ‘quiet time’ near the dormitory. Suddenly a car arrives, people talk, something is going on. There is a hurry to the room of one of the couples. A little TV appears from a corner, quickly it is set … Lees verder Where were you…
Yes, I’m back but busy
Tryin’ to catch up with everything after the trips I’ve made. Korea was a wonderful experience, not only because of the masses in the conference (almost 20.000!), but also because of the specific Korean touch. Prayer and worship are really special over there! Check www.cm2007.net to see some of the meetings yourself, for example Andy Atkins’ speech. Lees verder Yes, I’m back but busy
Sharing hearts in the Swiss Mountains
An successful experiment: this video was uploaded directly from my mobile phone! (I think it is kind of costly, I will find out at the end of the month :-)). It shows the place I was last week, together with the colleagues from Western Europe. Not too bad, as you can see… Stories to follow. Lees verder Sharing hearts in the Swiss Mountains
World Missions
This weekend I have been preparing my upcoming trips to Switzerland and Korea, and because of that I’m all into world missions right now. Tomorrow I leave for the Swiss Mountains, to ‘share hearts’ with my colleagues from 12 different nations. We will be in a mountain lodge at 2.000 m. altitude, close to Zermatt, for 5 days. After extremely tiresome weeks (mostly stress I … Lees verder World Missions
