Restorations in Amsterdam!
To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life Romans 2:7
Greetings from the family in Amsterdam! So far the year 2010 has been eventful, encouraging and inspiring for our small but faithful church in the Netherlands (now 28 adults and 22 children). The Wolmarans family moved here last year and after resolving work permit issues, Stefan was employed by the church to work full-time in the ministry since February.
Baptisms in Berlin!
I want you all to be encouraged by the story of our new brother in Christ, Klaus Poppek. He is the father of 3 daughters, 2 of which became disciples in the early 90's, and both parents were quite upset at the time. They came to a few events that the church hosted, but were not interested. By the grace of God, in 2003 their mother Ingrid started coming to Bible Talk, and shortly thereafter she started studying and became a Christian.

We are also encouraged that the Milan Church of Christ recently committed to the Cooperation Churches.
