The Annual Social Report 2022/2023 of Deputies for Evangelisation has been published. This annual report is intended not only to look back in gratitude, but also to look forward and be inspired to continue spreading the Gospel.

"Fire that does not burn is no fire. Church without mission is no church," writes Rev Rein den Hertog as chairman of the Deputatenschap evangelisatie. "The pages that follow can be read as an account of how we, as Deputates on Evangelisation of the Christian Reformed Churches, try to give hands and feet to this conviction."

Missionary consultant Peter L.D. Visser therefore invites us all to read this annual report primarily as an encouragement to persevere. "Much, much work in the church has to depend on faithful commitment. This also applies to missionary work. Sometimes something is already visible of the yield, the fruit of that work."

Thank you very much to everyone who has been involved with Deputaten evangelisatie, in whatever way. We continue to count on your fervent prayers, your inspired commitment and/or your loving financial support.
