What is your ministry?
I teach Old Testament at a theological seminary in the Netherlands. I also serve as an elder in our local reformed church. Finally, I am involved in institutional relations for Tyndale Theological Seminary.
When did you trust Christ?
I trusted Christ when I was 15.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
My defining moments were my conversion when I was 15, the realisation that I radically had to change my life as a follower of Jesus when I was 18, my faith crisis when I was 22, and the period of fundraising to become a missionary-professor of theology.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I was very encouraged by the Forum in 2023. The theologians Network has massively helped me to grow in how I do theology for the sake of the Evangelical church. I believe I have become a better teacher through the Forum already.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
My past leadership roles were serving as a teaching elder at Grace Presbyterian Church in Winnetka, IL, and serving as an elder at Hervormde Kerkte Broek Op Langedij.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
Teaching at Tyndale Theological Seminary is a strategic ministry. Our school has a missionary profile and we have students from mostly Africa and Asia who receive full-ride scholarships to get the theological education that they otherwise would not be able to receive.
