Step out of your comfort zone 2

Step out of your comfort zone

In the mean while the first of September has passed, the Belgian kids and teenagers are back at school. It’s a long time ago that the beginning of September was my beginning of school. If I ever start working as a high school teacher, which my diploma tells me I should do, I will have this feeling again. For now, it’ something far away, if it ever happens at all. Here at IABC we have been running a full-time program for the last three weeks. I’m not going to class anymore, and I’m also not teaching yet. It still remains a search for possibilities, tasks and a job description. Sometimes I feel like I’m not doing enough, everyone else seems so busy, or at least what they look like. People know what is expected from them, most of them are here for a longer period, but not me. I’m trying out a little. And that is part of the problem. I think I’m only trying, but doing pretty well. Or just well. Let’s get rid of this Belgian modesty. We are working on it. Last week we had the pleasure of having Stephen Graham in our midst. A principal of an Apostolic Bible college in New Zealand. A man who got called by...

Denmark – Part 2 1

Denmark – Part 2

And here we are, back in Denmark for almost 2 weeks. I did have the intention to write an update every week, but as with many other things it takes some time to get back into a new routine. The students are having a Basic Course like we had in our first weeks a year ago. It is good to see our initials RV and CV on the schedule. A new time has arrived. I have to admit, it feels a bit strange to be a small fish in a big pond. I was good at being a student, a steady and strong fish in my own pond. Anyhow, it was time God put me in the next pond so that I could grow again. Many questions, uncertainties and doubts, but at the same time many possibilities, certainty and support. It is great to be a volunteer at this amazing place. We started this year with a group of 12 students, in total 7 different nationalities. A great group of people, I’m looking forward to grow together with them. To see them being active in the Kingdom of God, to see how they find their dreams and see them develop. God has a great plan with each of them....

En er is weer een week voorbij. We zijn er weer helemaal ingevlogen. Afgelopen maandag heb ik samen met een student de SEEK mogen doen, Rein dinsdag met een andere student. Kim, mijn vorige mentor, had voor de vakantie gevraagd of we wat meer wouden meedraaien binnen de SEEK. Voor degene die niet weten wat het is, of even weer vergeten zijn, SEEK is het startmoment in de ochtend met alle studenten. Op maandag wordt er een thema voorgesteld en duiken we de Bijbel in. Dinsdag is er tijd voor discussie rond datzelfde thema. Woensdag hebben we tijd voor gebed, op vrijdag is er dan een toepassing van het thema. Deze week ging het over autoriteit. Jezus heeft ons sleutels gegeven waarmee wij aan de slag mogen, wij mogen uitgaan in de wereld en de mensen vertellen over hem. We mogen voor zieken bidden en ze zullen genezen, voor vrijheid bidden en ze zullen vrij zijn, gif drinken en niet sterven… Jezus heeft de Heilige Geest gestuurd zodat we dit allemaal niet alleen hoeven te doen, maar mogen weten dat hij altijd naast ons staat. Deze autoriteit houdt natuurlijk ook een hele verantwoordelijkheid in. Wie heeft er dan ook regelmatig sleutels bij zich die hij niet gebruikt? Zo is...
