00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000
Hello, everybody. So this is Jaap and Mike from the Netherlands.

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:07.000
Hello.

3
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:14.000
And yeah, so coming from the Netherlands, we're married.

4
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.000
We have no kids at the moment.

5
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:23.000
And yeah, so we basically felt like that God was saying, you know,

6
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:27.000
you've been in hiding and I want you to come into the light.

7
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:33.000
And we've just been also really looking for like a community and thinking like,

8
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:40.000
I don't even know if there is anyone like who would really suit us as a community.

9
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:47.000
So we thought, why not really get the tools to look for our community and actually,

10
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:51.000
you know, serve them because maybe there is no one who can serve them at this point

11
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.000
or that we don't know him yet, whatever.

12
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:58.000
In any case, we just thought we should, you know, step out in this.

13
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:06.000
And yeah, also just feeling like there's a new level coming for us.

14
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:13.000
Also in terms of work and feeling that entrepreneurship is really a thing that at least,

15
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.000
you know, I'm being drawn to.

16
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:20.000
We also kind of feel like it's going to be, you know, me kind of setting this up now.

17
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:26.000
Mike is working right now, so like bringing in most of the money and everything

18
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.000
and she also doesn't have the space for it at this time.

19
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:34.000
So I'm probably going to be mostly on here, especially for the first months

20
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.000
and got some other ideas going.

21
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.000
But anyway, I'm just really excited to, you know,

22
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:47.000
to find out what we can learn and, you know, where we're going.

23
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:53.000
And in terms of like vision for what we think could be community,

24
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.000
it just kind of feels like that we don't, like I said,

25
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.000
don't know if there's someone, a lot of people out there like us.

26
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:03.000
We're kind of people, most of our friends were raised Christians,

27
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:08.000
but they left the church mostly for religion, I think.

28
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:13.000
And, you know, kind of people in the artsy scenes

29
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:21.000
and we just don't see a lot of people around us, you know, like us in that sense.

30
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:27.000
And we just feel like there's a real, even just for ourselves to meet people,

31
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.000
there's a real need there.

32
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.000
That's what we feel anyway.

33
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.000
So, yeah.

34
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:38.000
And first of all, you know, it's just connection for us.

35
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.000
And there are certainly some things that we've learned over the years

36
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.000
that we feel like we could serve them with.

37
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.000
But anyway, a lot of things we just want to find out.

38
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:46.000
Explore.

39
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.000
Explore, learn together.

40
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.000
Yeah, and so we really wanted to,

41
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:56.000
I really wanted to be with other group of people to learn this with

42
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.000
because I've done some sort of entrepreneurial things in the past

43
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:05.000
and didn't have a group to learn from with, didn't have any mentor,

44
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.000
none of that, and it went quite pear-shaped.

45
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:13.000
So, yeah, that's really what we're looking to get out of this group

46
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.000
is to travel together.

47
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:16.000
Yeah.

48
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.000
So, yeah.

49
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.000
All right, three minutes already.

50
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.000
Well, that's pretty good.

51
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.000
Bye.
