Hi everyone!

We are BRAVE – a safe place where teenagers (ages 12-17) can grow in their faith.
We meet every 2nd and 4th Friday evening of the month, either in Hilversum or Laren.
The meetings are for boys and girls together.

Our aim is to get to know God and His Word more, to become passionate for Jesus, strong in our faith and wise in how we live our lives. And of course we also have fun together :) We usually start the meetings with some games and snacks, available for each BRAVE-Night, then we listen to a devotional thought from the Bible and afterwards discuss what we’ve learned. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

“Be alert, stand firm in the faith, be BRAVE, be strong.” (1 Cor. 16:13)

Discover how you can participate in God’s Kingdom.

Are you touched by the injustice you see around you? Do you want to do something about it and wonder what God is asking of us? In the completely renewed Micah Course you will discover in seven meetings what the Bible says about justice and how you, with your talents, can cooperate in God’s Kingdom.

You will work on topics such as:

• Caring for the world around you
• Sustainable and fair trading in this world
• Your talents and opportunities to work for good

Through concrete and challenging assignments you will discover how you can make a difference with head, heart and hands.
The idea is to eat together and then do the course. Start in consultation what is possible, 18.30/19.00 hours.

Jesus did not invite us to convert to Christianity. He invited us to apprentice under Him into a whole new way of living. In this homegroup we will explore this apprenticeship under Jesus by the spiritual disciplines (Rest, Silence & Solitude, Prayer, Fasting, Community, Hospitality, etc). We will do this together as a group as well as individually. The goal is to grow into apprenticeship under Jesus by adopting the lifestyle of Jesus in our own lives, at this time, and in the phase you are in (with all the with all the hustle and bustle that life brings, kids, work, Iphone, social media, etc).

We follow a program designed by John Mark Comer and his team (Practicingtheway.org) which is in English. The program consists of interactive video’s. Each night we briefly gather around table to meet and to catch up. Then we pray and watch an instruction video with reflection and follow up sessions (smaller groups). The aim of the program is to make things practical and customized. Therefore a digital companion-guide (including recommended books, podcasts, etc) will be given in order to explore, study and enjoy being a apprentice under Jesus. You can make this as easy or as extensive as you want (no pressure at all… it’s up to you).

We want to facilitate families with small kids. However when there is no babysitter available for your kids we try organize hybrid meetings with the option to meet online during the video’s and potentially also discussions. Although we prefer in person meetings to be a community.

Language: Dutch (English when needed). We follow a program designed by Practicingtheway.org which is in English.
Day: Biweekly, Sunday evenings. As a group we will occasionally organize family gatherings including the kids.
Time: 20:00-22:00
Who is it for?: Anyone is welcome, but we have a focus on families with kids. Don’t hesitate to join us if you don’t have kids :)
