Fisher of men Simon Peter and his folk had already tried everything. They had worked hard all night but had caught nothing. And now Jesus said:’ Put out into deep water, and throw out your nets for a catch.’(1) I can imagine straightaway how Peter must have felt. ‘Master, we have worked hard all night [...]

God calls “We both felt that God wanted to use us in Belgium, but this was not really our dream. One day, we prayed for a confirmation and I said, ‘If, this week, someone asks us if we would like to work in Belgium, that will be the confirmation.’ And a few days later, we [...]

God calls “In 1959 Lilli and I were given a clear call to come to Belgium. Then in 1963 we went to Genk as bez workers before I became first member, then chairman, of the Flemish evangelism committee. When Brian Russell-Jones, the director of bez, left in 1978, I had to take over the overall [...]
