Corona changes our plans!

Suddenly so many unprecedented situations: borders closing, flights canceled and most tragic: people who get sick from the corona virus! 

And while the virus changes a lot of plans, we know that ultimately our plans and our days are in God's hand! We know that God is with us, Immanuel, our loving heavenly father. We pray that in the midst of fear and uncertainty, people will turn to God and find Him.

An online school instead of going to the Philippines

Our flight to the Philippines, where we planned to give the three-month Children at Risk School, got canceled, like so many other flights.

Johan and I are working hard on a model to give the school now online as a 6 weeks seminar. A while ago, we had already made plans to record all the classes and make them available online, but now this is suddenly speeding up. Quite a challenge!

For the time being we will be staying in our cabin in the beautiful little village Ermelo in Holland, from where we will try and help our students worldwide.

Our family and the corona virus

Even in our close family circle we are having people already in quarantine, including our daughter Dilma. Please, could you pray for her in this situation?
 

Johanneke and Jonathan, who were on a mission trip in Qatar, were able to rebook their flight just in time to make it safely home. We and the remainder of our children and grandchildren are all doing well. Even Davi, although he is part of a high-risk group. Please would you pray for protection for him?

We wish you all Gods peace in these turbulent times, His blessing over your lives!
