What a start!

From Nordhorn we drove to Stellingen, Netherlands where we parked with a wonderful family who took such great care of us. We had our first gathering at The Gate in Stadskanaal, NL in the afternoon of April 19th and another one in the evening. I use to say that if one person makes the important decision to follow Jesus it is worth everything and much more. We saw that happen the first day and that was just the best start we could have. So encouraging.

From Stellingen we drove to Sibrandhuas, NL right outside Dokkum, NL where we stayed for a few days. April 20th we had a meeting at the Filadelfia church in Dokkum and it was such a powerful evening. You could see where The Holy Spirit moved and touched peoples hearts.

April 21st we had a meeting in Oentsjerk, NL and again we had a wonderful evening. What I heard there were many ”non-believers” and that is always good to know as these are the people we want to reach.

We had a few days off as well and I had a chance to do some walking. One of the days I walked the longest walk in almost two years. I walked 11 kilometers and it feels so good to get back in shape.

Netherlands is a country that God now has put on my heart and there is such a hunger for God. We had our last events in The Netherlands for this time in Veendam and in the afternoon of the 25th we played and shared the Gospel on the main square in the city. The same evening we were at Afterbeat Coffee in their church. Another wonderful evening in the presence of Jesus.

We left when we were done and drove back to Germany. We arrived around 3:00 in the middle of the night in Marienmunster where we parked the bus. The following day we spent some time with the brothers and sisters from the Immanuel church and I have to say that God is connecting us with some wonderful people.

This place was such e beautiful place. It was an old monastery and I had a chance to walk around the are. So beautiful and so much history. The same evening we had a meeting in the concert hall and almost packed the place. It was another one of those nights where you could see The Holy Spirit move and do His thing.

Monday at noon we had the honor to have lunch together with Hans Thomann, the CEO of the entire company. We had a wonderful time together and I could see that he had a very special heart and a real passion for what he is doing. There is a very interesting documentary about Hans and his journey so watch it here.

As usual we visited the store, checked out the different departments, tried different products. It takes at least a day to go through it all. The store is huge and at the moment they are expanding it. All because of the passion for music. The village Treppendorf is small with a few hundred people but a few thousand that works for the Thomann company. Very impressive.

When we were done at Thomann we drove to Nurnberg where we are parked now. Two days off and May 1st we are playing and sharing for thousands of bikers on the biker gathering in town. May 4th we are at a Ride On event att Zollhaus here in the same city.

From Nurnberg we are continuing to Leipzig for a couple of events and the tour goes on. We have really had the best possible start and we are excited about the rest of the tour. Thank you all who have supported us and all of you who pray for us. Together we are expanding the Kingdom of God and many young people will know that alcohol and drugs can be very dangerous.
