Amsterdam - Leader Hangout Gathering

Last weekend Jonas (drummer of Solace The Day) and I went on a 1834 kilometers road trip to a European conference near Amsterdam in The Netherlands at an old fort, pictured on the island underneath: 

A fairly small group of leaders where 11 countries were represented.

Most of the participants where connected to Jesus Freaks ministries around Europe. Cool folks who started out almost 20 years ago, and got the name "Jesus Freaks" from punks who didn't like what they were doing.

One girl was from ChristianiaKirken in Copenhagen (ChristianiaKirken.dk), and it was really cool meeting her, connect and together pray for Denmark :-)

Two Norwegian friends from SubChurch in Oslo (Norway) where also at the conference, and I really love their hearts and how they are running fellowship and Church for the underground in Oslo. The last few years I've gone to Oslo many times to hang out at SubChurch and get inspired (www.SubChurch.no).

The main speaker was Victor John from India. After being a paster at an establish Church he wanted to take some time off and start sharing the gospel to folks around him; making disciples of Jesus Christ. A healthy way of making fellowship, like the first house Churches in the New Testament. This disciple-network grew and out of that "step of faith" we now see 3.000.000 Christians in India divided in 80.000 house Churches. Devoted people who pray 2-3 house a day, 14-21 hours a week. Something I can learn a lot from!!
Victor John shared a simple and very effective (and challenging) way of reading/studying the Bible: 

1) What does the scripture say?

2) What do I learn from this?

3) What does it cost me to apply it?

4) Whom am I gonna share this with? 

An uplifting weekend with some good teaching, that I've brought home with me to Denmark. ... And then I found out that I knew one of Victor Johns daughters from the small school I attended in the 90's in Kathmandu, Nepal :0)
