Hello, everybody. So this is Jaap and Mike from the Netherlands.
Hello.
And yeah, so coming from the Netherlands, we're married.
We have no kids at the moment.
And yeah, so we basically felt like that God was saying, you know,
you've been in hiding and I want you to come into the light.
And we've just been also really looking for like a community and thinking like,
I don't even know if there is anyone like who would really suit us as a community.
So we thought, why not really get the tools to look for our community and actually,
you know, serve them because maybe there is no one who can serve them at this point
or that we don't know him yet, whatever.
In any case, we just thought we should, you know, step out in this.
And yeah, also just feeling like there's a new level coming for us.
Also in terms of work and feeling that entrepreneurship is really a thing that at least,
you know, I'm being drawn to.
We also kind of feel like it's going to be, you know, me kind of setting this up now.
Mike is working right now, so like bringing in most of the money and everything
and she also doesn't have the space for it at this time.
So I'm probably going to be mostly on here, especially for the first months
and got some other ideas going.
But anyway, I'm just really excited to, you know,
to find out what we can learn and, you know, where we're going.
And in terms of like vision for what we think could be community,
it just kind of feels like that we don't, like I said,
don't know if there's someone, a lot of people out there like us.
We're kind of people, most of our friends were raised Christians,
but they left the church mostly for religion, I think.
And, you know, kind of people in the artsy scenes
and we just don't see a lot of people around us, you know, like us in that sense.
And we just feel like there's a real, even just for ourselves to meet people,
there's a real need there.
That's what we feel anyway.
So, yeah.
And first of all, you know, it's just connection for us.
And there are certainly some things that we've learned over the years
that we feel like we could serve them with.
But anyway, a lot of things we just want to find out.
Explore.
Explore, learn together.
Yeah, and so we really wanted to,
I really wanted to be with other group of people to learn this with
because I've done some sort of entrepreneurial things in the past
and didn't have a group to learn from with, didn't have any mentor,
none of that, and it went quite pear-shaped.
So, yeah, that's really what we're looking to get out of this group
is to travel together.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
All right, three minutes already.
Well, that's pretty good.
Bye.
