Supernatural protection, we can't do without

On a Friday afternoon Lana, who had just become three, was at the house of her grandma and grandpa, Danny and Hugo. Danny had just gone upstairs to do something still to do on the computer. Lana had followed Danny. Danny turned the computer off and promised her granddaughter they would go downstairs and do puzzles together. Lana was very enthusiastic about this. She was standing on top of the stairs and Danny was following her.

Recovery from a severe burn out

“For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.” (2 Cor 4:5)

I was doing for over 30 years all kind of leadership tasks in the church of Jesus, when a concurrence of events led to a complete mental crash. I entered unexpectedly and unwantedly a period of burn-out that would last several years.

I was relieved of my job as fulltime pastor and I was obliged to stop my involvement in Christian Flanders. I did not preach anywhere for over a year, although I had been doing this for years throughout the whole of Flanders. I even felt written off by God and fellow human beings. The civil society declared that I was incapable to work.
