This weekend we were in the Netherlands with Bless

In Amsterdam we helped host a prayer evening at the Tabernacle of the Nations in the red light district and a ‘conversation’ around the future of the church in Europe at De Poort

In Rotterdam we helped design and decorate a prayer room for ICF, and their associated ministries, located on the fourth floor of a community house run by Home for Kurds

Blackboard paint, junction boxes, IKEA furnishings, kilner jars, chalk, candles, washi tape, pallets and several hours later we had oursleves a beautiful place of prayer overlooking the city

"The dancing God is on the move.

The dancing God Moves throughout this city, In and out of bars and cafes, Brothels and bakeries Churches and colleges Mosques and metros The dancing god is on the move And leaving a trail of grace behind.

Follow his trail His scent His movement And find your place in the triune dance of love.”

This morning team Rotterdam helped weed and harvest vegetables at ‘carnissetuin’ - a community garden in the city.

Tomorrow we will host a ‘patch party’ at the garden for the local community making soups, salads and quiches from the vegetables grown there.

Back to the kitchen for us…
