Our Church in Delft!

Jun Xian and I are currently attending Delft Christian Fellowship, an Indonesian-Dutch church which Janita also attends. It is a G12 church, so the pastor, Pst. Victor also knows Pst. Lawrence Khong and Pst. Kong. Although it is a trilingual service and there are some difficulties (they preach in Bahasa and translate into Dutch, we sit in a corner and someone translates for us in English), it's actually quite fun and the praise and worship is anointed. The people are also nice and discipleship is good. So this will be our church for the next 3 months or so!

TU Delft, Our School!

Our school in TU Delft, the Bouwkunde or Building Knowledge Department. It is a huge department with 13 stories and 4 architecture/urbanism streams. School's great too, and we cycle there every morning. Basically we cycle everywhere in Delft because the town is not really very big.

Alien Invasion

These few days, a London fun fair & Dutch Pasar Malam decended upon our little town overnight, and caused us to wake up in a state of shock the next morning. When we finally came to our senses, we went to take a ride on the Booster Maxxx, which is a this giant spinning pinwheel thing pictured here. While spinning on it, we could see the church and the whole of Delft-upside down! Weeu!

Finally, after a month of travelling, I have settled into our fine little town, Delft. For those of you who do not know, Delft has one of the best universities in the Netherlands, and we're proud of our little town. The temperature's been wavering between cold and quite cold. This is a nice little canal outside our place at Papenstraat 8, so we see swans and little ducks raising their families outside every morning. Our apartment is smack in the middle of town, just a stone's throw away from the market square and main church. The church bells chime every 15 minutes (trust me, it's a bit much). In short, life is just great!

>>Back to Rotterdam for Benny Hinn!

On my second night back in Holland, I attended Benny Hinn's healing crusade in Rotterdam. I went there alone and met with some of Janita's Delft church friends there. Janita's my friend from NUS Aki, and we used to do evangelism in NUS together. How amazing is it that God has brought us together so divinely in another country so far away! Anyways, the meeting was great, and there were many healings and salvations. There were a lot of Nigerians, Surinamese and Indonesians in the crowd too, and the people were dancing and jumping enthusiasticly, sometimes more enthusiastic than us in Singapore!

Everyone could tell that God is doing something new in the Netherlands, and even Pst. Benny commented that the atmosphere is very different since the last time he came. Sitting beside me was a Dutch man and his mother, who used to be a missionary to Thailand for 30 years. So amazing... They told me how Holland used to be a great missions centre, and this is the place where Calvinism started. Currently, it is one of the most secular places in the world, but God is really doing something new in this country. Please pray for this great nation! + Pray that Pst. Benny's first crusade in November in Cairo, Egypt will go through. Egypt is really the gateway into the Arab world, so this is important!

This is the Mozart Orchestra, where they're all dressed like Mozart & play only Mozart. I was wondering if it's a bit of a tourist thing, but they are really professional musicians, and I guess it helps to keep the musical history alive. It would be a pity if the people came to Vienna expecting, and not seeing anything. So it works both ways. The music was great to hear live, and the Mozart tunes stayed in my brain for about a week.
