October 2011

		On the 2nd of October there was a Missionary Sunday at the Dutch Reformed Church in Nunspeet. A lot of attention was payed during the service to the work of the Bonus Pastor Foundation. The service was conducted by Rev. Kálmán Adorján from Târgu Mureş. He spoke, to everyone’s surprise, good Dutch. The core of the service was the sermon based on Psalms 107.

Ans Visscher had a talk with and for the children, in which she explained what addiction was and how it can occur. János Boros, former alcoholic and now a member of the staff in the Therapy Centre in Ozd, told together with his wife Marika the story of their life. Everybody was visibly impressed. Éva Adorján was responsible for the general presentation of the work of the Bonus Pastor Foundation.

The collection on this occasion, designed to replace the car at the Therapy Centre, was €1250! Because of this revenue, the total amount the Stichting Bonus Pastor Netherlands has collected until now is sufficient to be able to purchase a new Dacia.

After the service there was a great interest at the information stand and everyone enjoyed the coffee and a Romanian delicacy. We can look back on a wonderful and blessed Sunday!
