We had an encouraging time during our monthly evangelism Saturday this month, where we had 13 locals out on the streets sharing the Gospel!
We celebrated the graduation of 18 Tyndale Seminary students!
We have been visiting a couple tiny churches in Schagen a city just 9 km north of us (one with 10 congregants and one about 30) to be more acquainted with the condition of the Church in Schagen, and how we can help to encourage and build up the local Church. Jason has been out doing street evangelism every Thursday and is thankful to have found a couple people to join him.
What a blessing to have cousins visit!
Jason has been working hard on the Tyndale office renovations that will continue through this summer, with a couple teams coming to help.
So many beautiful wild flowers out right now! The kids and I have been foraging and drying them for medicinal teas and salves. It’s fun to continue learning all the many ways God cares for us and has provided for us in creation.
This month the kids have been practicing extra for their swim test to get their A Diploma which is a big deal here. We are very proud of their hard work and excited for their upcoming test!
Baby is 30 weeks! Praise the Lord He continues to grow well. Still many appointments in the coming couple months before we meet baby! I am doing well, though definitely more sore now in the third trimester and having to slow down a little bit.
Prayer Requests
We are continuing to wait for a response for our application to renew our Dutch Visa. Please pray we will get the 5 year extension to stay in The Netherlands.
Pray as the renovation project begins at Tyndale Theological Seminary. Jason is overseeing a team of 9 volunteers as they begin the renovation of the offices.
Continue to pray for the KOTV evangelism project, for boldness and creativity in sharing the Gospel and pray for our core team as we seek to motivate and encourage the local churches to unite in an evangelistic effort in the city of Alkmaar.
Pray for the weekly evangelism events in Schagen that we are now involved in. Pray for open hearts and boldness to proclaim the Gospel.
Please pray for finances, we will begin a fundraising effort in the fall. We are starting to feel the effect of the rising cost of living here in The Netherlands.
Thank you for your continued support, prayers and encouragement!
In Christ,
Jason and Monica Klumpenhower
Monica和我都有很強的基督教背景。我從小就認識和在愛耶穌的教導下成長，但在我青少年期間，我完全放棄了我的信仰。經過許多痛苦和掙扎，上帝把我帶回祂的身邊，因為我學會只有透過祂的大能和耶穌的救贖之恩，我才能在生命中經歷到真正的喜樂和平安。Monica從很小就一直渴望在某個地方能夠事奉主，透過一些考驗，其中一個主給Monica 的教導，就是恆常地在主內找到自己的身分和價值。祂值得我們信任和永遠信實。我們在英國Capernwray Hall聖經學校相識，一年後結婚。從我們結婚開始，我們就知道神呼召我們去宣教，只是不確定去哪裡。透過返回Capernwray Hall作義工、為墨西哥極貧困家庭建造房屋等經歷，作為探索和確認神對我們的呼召！當在英國工作時，有一次我們去荷蘭渡假，神將荷蘭人深深的迷失和靈命的需要感動我們的心並一直揮之不去。三年前，我們加入了Greater Europe Mission宣教團隊，並於一年前我們搬了去荷蘭！
我目前在 GEM 的角色
我積極參與Alkmaar的一個名為Kracht om te Veranderen (Power to Change)的街頭福音佈道組織。 我的角色是核心成員之一，招募和帶領短宣隊上街傳揚耶穌！ 我們面對最大的挑戰是如何以嶄新、引人入勝的方式傳福音。 荷蘭人在談論信仰問題上是非常封閉的，我們經常遇到冷漠對待、後現代世界觀和一些受過教會或宗教組織傷害的人，他們都不想與神扯上任何關係。我的副職是在Tyndale神學院擔任兼職設施經理，Tyndale是一所獨一無二，專為來自亞洲、非洲和東歐的牧師和基督教領袖提供全額獎學金的神學院。 學院本身是由來自世界各地志同道合的宣教士所組成，他們共同努力牧養和栽培這些未來的領袖，使他們可以回到自己的祖國，從事同樣的事情。Monica是我們Kracht om te Veranderen的禱告主任，除了作為母親的責任外，她還積極鼓動社區內的媽媽們參與活動，希望藉此開拓一個小型的查經班，分享耶穌對他們的愛！
有關 GREATER EUROPE MISSION (GEM)
於1944年成立，目標是與當時幻想破滅、經歷了如此多損失和絕望的二戰後歐洲人分享福音，從那時起，GEM已經發展到3個不同的差會和300多名宣教士在歐洲各地事奉。 可悲的是，在大多數的歐洲國家，只有約3%的人宣稱與耶穌有關係, 歐洲需要耶穌！GEM的存在是為了接觸整個歐洲的不信和不投入的人，並建立關係。 透過刻意門徒訓練、賦予他們權柄並差派他們為基督去影響世界，來使他們在信仰上成長和進深。GEM的宣教士以一個共同目標去參與許多不同類型的事奉，就是以門徒增長和擴堂來拓展上帝的國度達遍歐洲。
