LifeTalks
Have you ever wondered if there is more to life?
Are you interested in finding answers to deep questions? Or would you like to meet people in order to talk about interesting life focussed topics?
LifeTalks are informal meetings with a small group. We take an everyday topic like trust, love, personal value, personal gifts or we talk for instance about marriage, children or career. Any topic is possible.
A LifeTalk will last about 30 minutes and will consist of a focus topic and the use of the Bible to find direction, ideas and answers. Afterwards we spend time further discussing, networking or getting to know each other better.
LifeTalks are are not religious meetings or prayer meetings.
Anybody from any background is welcome.

StartUp / Foundation
Foundation provides Bible study plans, group and individual meetings and workshops to help you make a decision about your involvement with God, the Bible and Christians. You are free to design a plan that works for you and to change it at any time. See it as a means to “test the waters” and figure out if you want to take it deeper.
Foundation leads to “the Walk”, which is a commitment to the Bible, Jesus, God, His purpose and His people.
Ask one of the members who you think could mentor you.

Professionals
Amsterdam is the home of entrepreneurship. It is the place where the stock market and franchise concepts originated and is together with nearby Rotterdam and theHague the trading, judicial and business gateway between Europe and the rest of the world.
Centuries ago it started attracting the most passionate and freedom loving people from around the world, and for good reason. This environment, and the hard working, gifted and ambitious people that embody it, infuse the rest of the world with an unprecedented emphasis on individual freedom, personal empowerment and innovation. No wonder it recently has become known as the most multi cultural city in the world.
In the midst of this global, multi cultural and entrepreneurial climate, it is exciting to know that there is an equally ambitious, hard working and passionate group called the GvC Professionals Ministry.
We are making each other better through powerful friendships, understanding that one can actually find the balance between professional success and personal life success.

Housing
The country is super modern, clean and advanced but…. overcrowded and many people have to wait years before they can find a place to rent.
Homes are small and many children have to share bedrooms. Amsterdam housing is expensive with prices most average people cannot afford.
Are we trying to discourage visits from Christians? No, please - come all ye faithful !
We just want you to be aware that Amsterdam is not "just another city". We would love to have you here, especially If you can come and meet someone who may come to church, or come and encourage the saints.
What we need
The church needs disciples who can help the church grow. Hopefully, your visit will move your heart to help Amsterdam!
Financial Considerations
The church in Amsterdam is small and in need of funds to help the church grow further. Please consider making a donation to our efforts!
We would like to attract interns to come help and do not have the money for that right now. Please consider contributing to this cause or sponsoring someone who is going to go to Amsterdam to help.
