Join us in
Groningen.
Outreach Dates: 13th – 26th of July
Come Up North! Because there is nothing above Groningen Groningen: a student city, lively, creative, vibrant and down-to-earth. It is a city known for it’s rich historical background, it’s many cyclists and it’s nightlife. Today, Groningen is still culturally shaped by Christianity. You can sense this in it’s language, village life, buildings, and traditions. But in practical terms, active religious life has become much smaller than it was a century ago. So it is time to rebuild the ruins of Groningen and awaken the church! ‘Some of you will rebuild the deserted ruins of your cities. Then you will be known as a rebuilder of walls and a restorer of homes.’ Isaiah 58:12 (NLT) People in Groningen are in need of Jesus! With roughly 50,000 students and 245,000 inhabitants, this city is ready for the harvest! We see that a move of God has already begun and the lives of many young people are being radically changed by the gospel. But this is only the beginning. We are expectant about what God wants to do in this city. Will you come and join us as we go out and see people saved, healed and delivered? We want to see a great move of God in Groningen that will spread throughout the Netherlands. And God wants to use you! No matter your background and no matter how many times you’ve done street evangelism, we encourage you to come to the north of the Netherlands to join us. We need you! Let your testimony echo through the streets of Groningen, pointing people to the victory of Jesus Christ!
Join the WhatsApp Channel for the latest updates.
Each day we are going on the streets for a couple of hours to share the Gospel and see many life-changing encounters, pray for healing and love on people. We have breaks where you can grab lunch and dinner and regular times to gather for worship, prayer and to hear the amazing testimonies of what God is doing on the streets.
We will send you more specific information on the city through the WhatsApp Channel. You can join for any of the days. Simply let us know what weeks/days you can commit to once we start the registration for the city.
All participants are responsible to cover all of their own costs (flights, accommodation, transportation, food etc.) We believe this will be a great investment into the Gospel being spread all over Europe.
