For decades, the story of the Church in the Netherlands is one of decline. But today, a different story is emerging. This video from the recent De Missionaire Parochie Conferentie captures the voices of leaders who are witnessing signs of renewal across the Dutch Church — and rediscovering what becomes possible when parishes embrace their missionary identity.

“I felt like God was saying, ‘You don’t have to know everything… just show up.’” In this story, Wendy shares how her journey through Alpha at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish transformed her understanding of God, the Church, and herself. After years of searching for belonging and struggling with spiritual roadblocks, she encountered Jesus not only as Saviour — but as friend. Wendy's story is a powerful reminder of how Jesus continues to transform lives today.

One priest expected “more to do”… but instead found a vision for leading differently. Please keep these priests in your prayers. 🙏
