Our new blog:

Dear family and friends,

(the friends are Christians too so in a way we are all part of the same Family...)

The reason from this blog:

We have spoken with a few of you before about our plans to travel and share the Gospel.




Where did it start?



It was 3 years ago that I went for the first time to Calvary Chapel,and in a short time there I became more and more hungry for Gods Word.I wanted to study more and signed up for the Bible College with the idea to work trough the Bible books. Not so,as the first 2 sections were Mission and Evangelising,and to be honest,I was a bit disappointed because that was not something for me (that was for a 'Jesus freak' or something...). "BUT GOD..." His ideas were different.The first Evangelising class (with Jason Dean) started on the 1st of March 2007,my 37Th birthday,and in the following months it became very clear to me that the Lord wanted to use me in this way(even though I am not good with books and study so I didn't do it for points and didn't do the exam and I thank God that He doesn't look at that,because then I would not be qualified),and in the coming months the Lord showed me more and more Scriptures about significant changes in peoples lives after 40 years,and the Lord showed me also Scriptures about the disciples who were 'in training' for 3 years. So next year I hope to turn 40 and I believe it is Gods will that we then start travelling with a caravan.I have looked before already at caravans but the Lord was clear that it was not His time yet, and when I looked again at caravans 3 weeks ago,I felt an open door and we didn't buy one yet but things started to fall into place and I also needed to come forward with this story and our plans.We don't want to buy a new caravan as that gives to much pressure on our payments but just a good second hand one,up to 10 years old. But we first have to sell the lawnmowing business and this is not My time yet: you need this income now, an the caravan I have in mind for you is not available yet,this comes over and over in my mind.


We both like this type of caravan but the Lord has maybe other plans... Please pray for this.




And tonight I was at the Bible study and shared it there with the people because I felt strongly to stand up and share this,not for my own sake but to ask for prayer and to give God the Glory for the plans He gives us.


We want to work for Him :"for me and my house,we will serve the Lord!!!" as it already says in 'About Us' ,well,it's not about us at all...

One last thing:When I make mistakes in my writing (as I still struggle a bit with writing in English) please let me know,maybe one day I will speak and write 'proper' English...
