Pray for Tyndale…
Summer break: Giving thanks for another year finished and a great group of students who graduated. Please pray for a restful summer break for staff and students over the coming month.
Orientation for incoming students: In just over three weeks the new students will be arriving to Tyndale. Pray for Ken and I as we welcome them and help them settle in. Pray for us as we run orientation from 20-27 August and that they adjust well to their new environment. This year we have students from: UK, Kenya, Australia, Myanmar, USA, Netherlands, Ethiopia, Ghana and Nigeria.
PHOTOS ABOVE: Ken taught a class at a seminary in Germany that has a partnership with Tyndale. There were around 50 students who responded really well to the class. One student asked to come to Amsterdam to do his internship with Ken.

Thanks & Prayer
Via church – Alpha. In September we plan to run another Alpha course. This time we hope to have an English speaking table and a Dutch speaking table. Please pray for a positive response from friends and neighbours to an invitation to join.
Tyndale graduate to become a Via church employee. Samuel, a Tyndale student who graduated a few weeks back, has been with Via since day one. We are now looking to employ him part-time for one year. Please pray for everything to fall into place for him to remain with us for another year, this time as a staff member. The biggest need for now is accommodation.
ACE synod. Pray for Julie as she represents Via at ACE synod 2-5 September.
Dutch language test. In 2027 we will both take the Dutch government language exam in the hope of applying for status in Netherlands. This will mean we have less restrictions living here and will no longer need visas. Pray for us as we use the rest of this year to prepare.
Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:5-7
