Hello all, and welcome to Sanctuary Holland’s website!

It’s been a while since i posted anything here, but now there is something to report.

We (that is Daphne and me) went to the Elements of Rock festival in Uster, Switserland last weekend. (check www.elementsofrock.com ) We had a great time! A lot of great bands, good conversations, networking internationally, inspiring and being inspired! There are things that will effect the future that have been discussed there, more info on that will come when the time is ripe.

For now, i will leave you with Gods blessings.

Johan

Happy new year to all of you! May the Lord bless you more abundantly then you expect for 2012.

I hope this year will be a good one for you people, and for Sanctuary Holland. I pray for open doors and open hearts, so that we can really build the bridges we need to build.

For now: Let Gods Love rule you, and His Will is done.

It is a custom in Holland to celebrate “Sinterklaas” early december, and so our cellgroup in Almelo (our first cellgroup, lead by Maurice and Els) decided to pick that up and celebrate it together. In this celebration it is a custom to give each other presents. (in fact, Santa Claus, well known in English speaking countries, comes from this tradition!) Here are some pictures, enjoy!

Brainstorm fest 2011

Well, as promised, here’s some more on Brainstorm last week!

We (that is Daphne and me) were fortunate enough to be able to host two great friends from Norway that weekend. Pål and Markus were going to put up a booth for Nordic Mission at Brainstorm and needed a place to stay. We never hesitated to give them shelter, after all, Jesus said: “Whenever you did it for any of my people, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did it for me.” (Math 25:40) I can assure you, it was no sacrifice to house these guys!

At Brainstorm, we all had a great time. I will not put up all pictures available, but just a few, to give you a good idea on the atmosphere there. There was some talking, some envouragements, some good laughs and, like i said before, some great bands with awesome music to listen to! All in all, it was a great festival, as it has been for the last four years. 2012 will see Brainstorm no. five, i’m already curious on what the organisation will do to celebrate!

God bless, Johan
