Via Nova wants to discover God's good message and make it visible in Amsterdam. Everyone is welcome to get oriented to the Christian faith, to discover what Jesus means for their own lives and to connect with this missionary congregation.
House groups play an important role at Via Nova. They are spread across Amsterdam and as a result target different neighbourhoods. The interpretation differs. This way, more people are reached and different groups feel more addressed. The local and small-scale character appears to have a recruiting power: several people have already joined Via Nova through the house groups.
Training and guidance is needed for house group leaders. Not only practically, but especially spiritually and theologically. A qualified theologian and trainer is available for this purpose. Your support is very welcome to make the training of the ten house group leaders possible:
- developing theologically sound input,
- an interactive learning process, in which participants reflect, practice and exchange experiences,
- A retreat for spiritual and personal reflection on, for example, vocation and leadership style,
- practical support in applying what has been learned
A total of €30,000 is needed. Half can be funded by Via Nova from its own resources. Will you contribute the remaining €15,000 and with your prayers?
Via Nova has its own website: vianova-amsterdam.nl
