Unexpectedly a new job

"Son, I love you!"

Together with my husband Hugo and our family, we are going through the darkest valley of our
lifetime. Hugo and I fought together side by side. We all have our own stories. This is the story of a
mother whom, after years of battling and praying for her son to have a life worth living, could not
imagine ever taking leave from her son.

God heals before diagnosis

Some time ago Nadine got troubled by a heavy stomach ache and hard digestion. She almost felt no hunger any more and when she had eaten a little bit, it seemed as if no other bit could be added to it. Now this can happen when you have a viral infection but the symptoms kept on lasting, despite prayer, and they even became worse. Nadine also got pain under the right rib frame. As well Nadine as Ann had to think about gallstones...The entire time they prayed together for healing, but nothing seemed to happen. One day they decided that an ultrasound should be made anyway, in order to be sure what was going on. They shared this with Hugo and Inger. That day, Nadine had to deliver something at their home, and in the hall Hugo laid his hands on her and prayed shortly for healing. From one moment to another all pain and the feeling of a heavy weight vanished and Nadine was hungry again... of course no examination has been made...

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.

He put emphasis – among other things – on the fact that is important for a man to go to work and to take care for his family.

Jan was on that moment extremely discouraged as he had applied for jobs many times, but nothing came out of these applications. The word Jan Sjoerd shared, spoke to Jan very deeply. He longed more than ever before for a good job! At the end of the service Jan Sjoerd prayed for all the men.

The week following this meeting Jan was called by a job agency. He was invited to a job interview and it went very well. It happed to be a vacant job with company where Jan had applied before, but without the desired result.

After consultations between the job agency and the company at stake, Jan was invited to start a training pathway within the company in cooperation with the Flemish Employment Service (VDAB).

April 4, 2018 this contract expired and Jan was offered immediately a contract of indefinite duration. He has a job less than five minutes away from home and he is very pleased with his job!
