Overview of organizations Evert-Jan worked with in especially the Netherlands and Australia:
Good morning E.J (that is how you introduced yourself to me at the Youth for Christ General Assembly on the Netherlands. I trust it is your preferred address)
When we met at the GA, you expressed some interest in the work I (as a Christian missionary with YFC) was doing to create a public work space where multi-faiths could work together towards common goals. You asked if it was an option for me to potentially speak with your staff. That may have been a polite conference compliment or an aspiration that has been lost in the busyness of things. Either way, I may be in your part of the world later this fall at a conference in Dublin, end of Nov. If you have an interest in connecting, let me know. Peace
