This is an English page to transfer some of my thoughts and devotions in Dutch to English:

Something is stirring in the air!
I believe that Holland is standing at the brink of a new wave of God. Looking into the newspapers a lot of things are stirring in Holland. Over the Pentecost Holidays more than a hundred thousand people attended services and conference outside the normal church services. This is a enormous increase on the past years. There is something happening in Amsterdam, there is a clamp down on prostitution and a cleaning of the streets in the red light district. This meets a lot of resistance from the liberal groups in Holland, but there is a change and progress is being made. This past week a cartoonist was arrested for drawing explicitly rude and immoral drawings. The liberal and social groups are exploding. I don’t think that the way it was done was very wise, but there is a shift a stirring in the air of things in Holland. ”
I was reminded of a scripture God gave me not so long ago from 2 Sam24 “And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of moving in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then shall the LORD go out before thee”. Are these things we see and hear a moving in the heavenlies? I beleive with all my heart God is moving in Holland. “I will work, and who can reverse it?”Isa.43:13

Times of Refreshing

It is as if there is a new freshness to what God is doing in Holland. This year we had two weeks of holidays around Pentecost. And there were a lot of conferences going. The main impact on us was the Heaven on Earth Conference. This was attended by more than 6,000 six thousand people, mostly were a new younger generation. This was quite neat to see. It is like there is a stirring in the heavenlies. God gave me the scripture from 2Sam.5: 24 “ nd it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the weeping trees, then you shall strike. For then Jehovah shall go out before you ….” There is this sounding in the wind. Young people are getting on fire for the Lord all across Holland and this is very exciting to see.
