Unexpectedly a new job

Jan lost his job May 2016 by mutual agreement with his boss. He could not handle his job in construction anymore due to severe back problems.

In July 2017 the hernia has gotten so worse that certain nerves in his right leg were not functioning anymore as they should. Jan was urgently operated on his back. Rehabilitation went by reasonably smooth.

In the fall of 2017 Jan and Ann attended our weekly church meeting. Jan Sjoerd Pasterkamp spoke that morning on the spiritual authority of a man.

Trust God

Dora tells her story:
“I want to quickly tell you about a recent special blessing, a blessing that is directly connected to the sow-box. At the beginning of the service on Sunday (on the day the Fatherheartschool would begin) I noticed I only had some small change and one 20 euro banknote left.

After the service I was to join the association that promotes physical exercise for women having had breast cancer, for their annual walk at 1:30pm in Korbeek-Lo. In between I would bring my daughter to a friend, so no time left to find an ATM to get some money. Soon mixed feelings troubled me. On one hand I usually put something in the sow-box on the other I knew that meant I would be without money after the walk.

At the beginning of October Hugo and Inger went to the Netherlands to take their boat out of the water. Hugo had bought a new wheel clamp for the boat trailer. It is an ingenious system with a spring. When he wanted to remove it, it burst open with a tremendous vigour. Hugo could not jump away in time and had the wheel clamp full-blast on his right skin bone. It hurted immensely, but Hugo finished his job and took the boat trailer with his car to the slipway for boats.

Then the pain was so bad that he thought he would lose consciousness.
Inger was standing there waiting for him and she checked the contusion together with Hugo. It concerned an enormous extravasation of blood which kept on increasing in size. Ivo, Inger's brother, thought it had to be a bursted cephalic vein... so huge the swelling was. They entered the office of the harbour master and Inger asked for an ice-bag. They did not have one, but the harbour master came with an enormous first-aid kit. When he was gone for a moment, Inger prayed for a total recovery. The co-worker of the harbour master was urging Hugo and Inger to go quickly to the hospital. The harbour master went to disconnect the boat trailer and put the car near the gate in order to let them leave as quick as possible.

Yet Inger, being a nurse herself, stayed calm and she phoned Ann and Nadine for advice. They confirmed that most likely it concerned a heavy extravasation of blood and that they could not do very much at the hospital. When the co-worker of the harbour master saw she could not convince Inger to go to the hospital, and that cold water was all they needed, they took Hugo to the nearest landing stage. There they spouted for quite some time cold water with a hosepipe on his skin bone. Thereafter they went to get a spot of food for a moment and they took off homewards again. When they arrived home, they told the entire story to Ann, Nadine and Sam. When Hugo showed his skin bone, there was barely anything to notice any more... Speaking of a miraculous recovery!
