Thanksgiving Jubilee: A Special Day in Ozd

I accepted the invitation to come to Ozd for the Jubilee on March 13th 2010, together with Harry van der Stege, Secretary of Bonus Pastor Foundation Netherlands. This Jubilee celebration was organized because BPF has been running a therapeutic centre for five years now, and because it has been three years since the Trans-Silvanus Institute was started. It was a very special day for me. All the work of BPF was presented by photo-display, so we got a good overall view of it. On this special day all the activities were very meaningful and well organized! Fantastic how people worked together, there was a large togetherness.

Visiting the Centre was also very interesting. A client showed us around the whole building. He told us that he was going to be allowed to go home for a visit soon. You could see the joy on his face!

At the end of the day there was a special service in the church in Ozd. It was very good that we thanked the Lord for all the blessings He gave. Personally, for me it was a remarkable day to get to know and to speak with a lot of workers with BPF. We had a lot of good conversations. Altogether, it was a nice and blessed weekend.
