Dear friends,
I hope you are all doing well! Today, I want to share some special moments with you—and a teaching that has touched me deeply.
But first, a little news from our family.
A busy season and an exciting family move
The last few months have been incredibly busy, with so much traveling. In just the last month and a half, we have been to Latvia, Mexico, and a conference in the Netherlands—and now we are heading to Germany!
Our trip to Mexico was especially meaningful. It was wonderful to see our team again and hear beautiful testimonies of what God continues to do there.
The main reason for our visit was to help Simone and Joshua move to Denmark, where they are preparing to welcome their first baby in just a few weeks. What an exciting time for our family!
It all happened so quickly. God spoke, and within days, the move was underway. We believe this is the right decision, and we can already see God’s hand in it.
What an honor—412 Days is now available in Dutch!
While we were in the Netherlands after our trip to Mexico, something very special happened.
The leader of Gideon Books came to the conference and personally handed me the Dutch edition of 412 Days. What an honor!
The leader of Gideon Books came to the conference and personally handed me the Dutch edition of 412 Days. What an honor!
Gideon Books has a history of publishing books by Brother Andrew, the founder of Open Doors, whose work has meant so much to persecuted Christians around the world.
To have 412 Days published by them—and to hear their enthusiasm for the book—was deeply touching to me.
I am so thankful to everyone who has worked on the translation, preparation, and publication of this Dutch edition. So much work happens behind the scenes to make something like this possible!
The first printed copy of The Gospel of the Kingdom
But that was not all!
At the same meeting, Alberto, who works with us, came forward and gave me the first printed copy of The Gospel of the Kingdom.
Wow! To finally hold this book in my hands was very special.
After all the work, prayer, and time that have gone into it, there it was—a book I could actually hold!
As we reviewed the printed copy, we found a few things that needed correcting. We have therefore decided to extend the preorder period a little longer, and we now expect the book to be released at the beginning of December.
If you have not ordered your copy yet, you can preorder it now through our new webshop:

“Your Kingdom come”—a prayer I now understand so differently
I also want to share the next lesson in the Kingdom School with you: The Thousand-Year Reign with Christ.
This teaching has impacted me deeply. The message is still working in me, especially as I look at the times we are living in.
As a child, I prayed the Lord’s Prayer, including the words, “Your Kingdom come.” But, like so many others, I had no idea what I was really praying.
Later, when I met Jesus and was born again, I thought I finally understood. Little did I know that it would take going to jail for me to begin to understand more deeply what it means for His Kingdom to come.
In this lesson, we look at the return of Jesus, His coming Kingdom here on earth, and what will happen during His thousand-year reign.
Imagine it: the prayer, “Your Kingdom come,” finally fulfilled as Jesus returns to reign!
As I recorded this lesson, teaching from what I had written in the book, these truths touched me deeply once again.
I really encourage you to take the time to watch this lesson—even if you have not followed the rest of the Kingdom School.
I love this message, and I pray that God will use it to open our eyes and prepare our hearts for what is coming. In The Gospel of the Kingdom, I go even deeper into these things, and I am excited to share it with you soon!
Seeking God for the next step
On a more personal note, we are in a season of seeking God about our next steps.
After so much traveling, and with only two more lessons left before I finish the Kingdom School, I sense that we are approaching another transition into something new.
God has been speaking, and I will share more when the timing becomes clearer. Right now, we are still praying and seeking Him about that.
Thank you for your prayers and support for me and my family. We need them, and we are truly thankful for everyone standing with us.
God is faithful!
