Johann and Louise Vanderbijl have spent many years working throughout the African continent serving through the Society of Anglican Missionaries and Senders. They currently minister in the Netherlands pastoring a church, writing and teaching discipleship.
Here is a recent update.
With Russia talking about using nuclear weapons against NATO countries should they continue to aid Ukraine, folks here are getting rather tense. Please pray that we will wisely and sensitively address these dear with the Gospel.
Otherwise things are going well. We are settling in well, although learning Dutch is a lot harder than we anticipated! Knowing Afrikaans is actually working against us.
We have applied for our visas and would appreciate prayers for a speedy response from the INS. We need the INS number before we can do anything in the country.
We have bought a secondhand car, but may not drive it until we have the INS number as well as BSN number that has to do with our residency here.
We absolutely love the folks at Christ Church and are making plans to train the leadership in disciple making principles. There are not many members, but the Lord has taught me never to despise the day of small beginnings! They are very serious to shine out the light of Jesus in Heiloo!
Please give our love to all.
Blessings
Johann and Louise
