Helping Stop Human Trafficking<\/h2>\n

Since 2017 we have been working together with Scarlet Cord (www.scarletcord.work) helping people get out of prostitution. Even though prostitution is legal in the Netherlands, there has been a major increase of illegal prostitution, much of which is run by criminal organizations who are trafficking women from Latin America to Europe. Law enforcement officials have now asked Scarlet Cord to accompany them in finding these men and women. Femke frequently goes with the police to help the people they may find. The following is a description of a recent evening Femke experienced.<\/p>\n

Two young, 20-year-old, Latin-American girls were lured into coming to Europe in search of a better future. They had no idea they would be trapped in a dangerous prostitution ring that moves girls throughout the country to work in illegal brothels. With a team of law enforcement and social workers, we scheduled a \u2018sex date\u2019 and made it into the house they stayed at. After telling me the story of how they were trafficked to the Netherlands, we offered to take them to safety right that moment. They decided to trust us and came with us. We took them to a safe house, and I visited them a few days later. They were eager to go back to Latin America and be with their families. We helped them book a flight and I stayed in touch with them until they were safely back in their country. The girls are doing well and have decided to go back to school.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Lord keeps opening doors to minister hope and love to the men and women who work in prostitution. We have visited the ladies in Amsterdam\u2019s Red Light District since 2017 and we see new people with a background in prostitution come to our church regularly. But, we also see open doors to visit sex clubs, strip clubs, brothels, and women who work in homes and hotels in several Dutch cities. Thank you for your continued prayers for this ministry! They are so important!<\/p>\n

Family Ministry Around the World<\/h2>\n

In the last few months, we have been able to minister in places as diverse as Israel, Australia, France, Spain, and, of course, the Netherlands. Hannah, our daughter, is currently doing a Discipleship Training School (YWAM) in Spain and will be going to Paraguay as well. She as well as two of her brothers are now speaking fluently in Spanish. One of the unexpected blessings of pastoring a Spanish-speaking church in the Netherlands was that our children would also get to learn Spanish. It is so cool to see that our ministry is truly a family ministry where our kids also enjoy going to church and serving the Lord.<\/p>\n

Hearing and Seeing God's Voice: The Power of Prophecy<\/h2>\n

We are proud to announce that Matthew\u2019s latest book, Hearing and Seeing God\u2019s Voice, is now available in English on Amazon. This book was first published in Dutch and is now available in English. It will also be coming out in Spanish and Portuguese. This book is an update on previous books he has written on prophecy, filled with new testimonies, insights, and exercises to grow in knowing God and in prophecy. We are so thankful to God and to all the people like yourselves who make our ministry in the Netherlands, and the world, possible through your prayers and financial support. Thank you!<\/p>\n

Sincerely, Matthew & Femke Helland<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Hemos estado viajando en los Estados Unidos desde el 6 de diciembre de 2018, desde California hasta Carolina del Sur y del Norte. \u00a1Dios es bueno! \u00c9l siempre nos proporciona un lugar para quedarse y un autom\u00f3vil para usar para desplazarnos. Agradecemos a las siguientes iglesias que hemos visitado por su amabilidad, calidez, hospitalidad y generosidad: la Comunidad Internacional de Cristo, los Ministerios Cristianos de Berea, Jes\u00fas es el Se\u00f1or, la Iglesia de la Ciudad Cristiana, la Cruz a la Vida, la Palabra de Vida, la Iglesia Cristiana Filipina, Springfield PH Church, Laurinburg PH Church, Woodville PH Church, Abundant Life Church, Goose Creek PH Church y Brock's Chapel. Nos sentimos honrados y encantados de testificar de la bondad y la fidelidad de Dios. \u00c9l continuamente prospera y bendice el ministerio en Tailandia y los pa\u00edses vecinos (Laos, Vietnam y Myanmar). El 23 de diciembre, 24 budistas recibieron al Se\u00f1or Jes\u00fas durante la celebraci\u00f3n de la Navidad en nuestra iglesia en Don Muang, Bangkok. El 24 y 26 de enero, el pastor Steve Willis y Jim Cox de Valley Harvest Ministries en Virginia llevaron a cabo un seminario de liderazgo en el Centro de Capacitaci\u00f3n de Misiones Indo-China (Mekong Bible Training Center) en Mae Sai con la ayuda del Pastor Chi Chang, el Pastor Big Laddawan, y los misioneros, Doug y Jill Nelson. Fue un gran seminario al que asistieron 40 l\u00edderes provenientes de Tailandia, Laos, Camboya y Myanmar. El tema de la conferencia fue \"S\u00e9 fiel\". La construcci\u00f3n de la tercera fase del dormitorio en el Centro de Capacitaci\u00f3n B\u00edblica Mekong y la cafeter\u00eda en el Seminario Teol\u00f3gico de Tailandia est\u00e1n avanzando. Ambos proyectos deben completarse para obtener mejores instalaciones y programas de discipulado efectivos para nuestros estudiantes. Si desea ser parte de este esfuerzo, env\u00ede su contribuci\u00f3n a IPHC WMM, Oklahoma City con el n\u00famero de cuenta del proyecto designado: 74015 para MBTC y 74520 para TTS. Gracias a IPHC WMM, a la subvenci\u00f3n del Proyecto Antioch, a Valley Harvest Ministries en Virginia, a Bible Temple Church en Toledo, Ohio, y al Equipo de Construcci\u00f3n de Cornerstone por apoyar el proyecto MBTC. Agradecemos a nuestro director nacional, el Dr. Wallapa Wisawasukmongchol, por asistir a la sexta Asamblea Mundial en Chile, del 20 al 22 de febrero, para representar a Tailandia. Ella fue animada y tuvo un tiempo maravilloso con hermanos de diferentes partes del mundo. Damos gracias a Dios por su liderazgo. Tuvimos la suerte de participar en los eventos de comidas de la Gran Comisi\u00f3n de Carolina del Norte, dirigidos por Doug Bartlett, que comenzaron el 14 de febrero y se extendieron hasta el 7 de marzo (totalizando 12 reuniones). \u00a1Estas comidas estuvieron llenas de grandes personas, excelentes informes de misioneros, excelente comida, excelente compa\u00f1erismo y una gran oportunidad para que las iglesias se asocien con misioneros! Gracias a los representantes de IPHC WMM, el Dr. Terry Tramel y el Reverendo Brian Nix, por animar a las iglesias a ganar almas para Jes\u00fas en todo el mundo al apoyar a los misioneros y diferentes proyectos. Sus oraciones y amables invitaciones para que vayamos a su iglesia son muy apreciadas. Puede contactarnos al (916)841-7412 o jiepalbert@hotmail.com. Por favor, oren para que podamos cumplir con nuestro presupuesto y regresar al campo en o antes de mediados de junio por otro per\u00edodo de tres a\u00f1os. Que se haga su voluntad.
