Sundays are generally a day of fasting but not today. I had to decide between going to xrds, Amsterdam or attend the church in Bethel, Zeist. Finally I decided to go to xrds, Since Anneke would pick me up at Amsterdam Zuid and I could ride with her.
It was great to visit a couple of old friends and visit Johan Verboom. I gifted this 2025 promise verse bag in Dutch (Psalms 65:11) to Johan and asked him to find a mistake in the print. He couldn't and I mentioned the reference in Dutch was Psalms 65:12 😀
Johan Verboom was the preacher for the day and I have seen his dedication about 18 years back when he was the head of the custodians - Strong and serving with a compassionate heart. To see him on the podium as a teaching pastor was an honor. He spoke on "Jesus - The good shepherd". The call was clear that we need to let go of the fear and anxious thoughts and cling on to Jesus who as a shepherd cares for the sheep.
Anneke prepared a good lunch and I had an excellent conversation about the future and the life ahead. Anneke got introduced to me during my accident recovery in the year 2010, as a member of the prayer group for the land Israel, she was interested in knowing the reason behind my name and pointed out that I had the same injuries as "Israel" from the Bible from Genesis 32
At 5:30 PM we visited the "Chanukah" festival at the Dam and then I took the train back to Zeist.
In the evening had a great conversation with Evangelist Rein vd glind and his wife Trudy until 10:00 PM.
It's time to hit bed early now and be ready for tomorrow morning's appointment at Appeldorn with Peter Zevenhuizen.
