13. Bringing the Gospel as a Good Neighbour in the Netherlands

Markus Zeldenrust has a motto: "The worst thing you can do is nothing, so do something, anyway." And he acted accordingly: he and his young family left everything to plant a church in a new development area in the Netherlands. In this episode of 'God on the Move', he shares how small semantic tricks have opened the door to sharing the gospel with thousands of children and discusses the challenges of serving Christ faithfully through a church plant.

 

If you are a Christian seeking to discover stories of how God moves in different parts of the world, then this podcast is for you.
