“I see a lake with a water lily… As time passes, there will be more and more lilies born out this first one… this is your ministry”.
"The water lily multiplies but its offshoots are hidden for a long time until they reach the water surface... Then they sprout forth and blossom like a “field” of lilies..."
I received the prophecy in 1981 while I was still in Holland. I kept in my heart and prayers. It was not until 2005 that I shared this with others for the first time since I felt it was ready to be shared. The prophecy had to do with multiplication of ministries and churches.

- John van Dinther, Team Pastor for New Life Church

We see a church...

Locally and nationally relevant

A locally and nationally relevant church with a strong international profile, a church that meets the needs of both individuals and society in the increasingly secularised, multicultural and globalised world around us, especially in an urban context.

Constantly growing

A constantly growing church, a community of cell groups where people are restored to fellowship with God and with each other and grow in maturity, worship and devoted prayer with the Bible as life’s guiding principle.

Dynamic

A Sunday service where passionate worship gives freedom for the Holy Spirit to touch and transform people’s lives.

Compassionate

A church whose ministries present the whole Gospel to the whole person and that supports people in all stages and circumstances of life.

Reconciling

A church that tangibly creates unity in Christ by breaking down barriers and building bridges between different ethnic groups, cultures, languages, genders, social backgrounds, generations and personalities.

Missional

A church that functions as a strong sending base for building God’s Kingdom and that is part of larger Christian networks of prayer, church planting and the development of new communities.
