Jolanda
Jolanda is mentoring two students at the moment. Lusia Pangaribuan is a DTS student from Indonesia. Jennifer Cook is a young American lady who is staff with YWAM in Georgia (the Eastern European country). She is here for three months doing the Biblical Core Course.
Jolanda also recently organized a love feast here at Heidebeek. She’s very good at these kinds of things and she enjoyed doing it very much. (That’s where these pictures were taken.) Read More…

Comm Team meetings 2009, Uganda
