It has been a while since I posted on my blog, I have been busy, but felt for a while I had to write again since a lot has happened. For the first thing our Jesus Freaks group in Amersfoort has been very blessed for the last half year. Before the summer we were with 6 people and the group has grown to around 15 at this moment in time. People are still being touched by the open atmosphere and encouraged by the need everyone feels to talk about Jesus.
Also in Utrecht there is a growing enthusiasm for the Jesus Freaks movement. In december we had a first meeting just to get to know each other and talk about our passion. It was very well visited by eight people, much more than we expected and we had a good time together. First it was just spending time together to get to know each other, but at the end of the evening we all were going deep in prayer. It was great to experience the enthusiasm to start JF in Utrecht into 2008.
But also on the JF Netherlands side things are really coming together. First we were more of individual groups but the last two months we all spent time together as Jesus Freaks Netherlands during our Jesus Freaks weekend in November and last week during our Christmas celebration in Den Dolder. It has really been the start of a hunger to get together as Dutch Jesus Freaks, since there was also a JF new years eve party in Den Dolder last night.
All this taken together we have had a very blessed 2007 and are longing to see where God will lead us in 2008. At the start of this new year we will start meeting in Utrecht regularly, so there's already a small sight of what 2008 will bring. Allthough I have not posted a lot the last two months, I still am eager to keep you all updated through my blog in the new year, so keep visiting my home page.
