A photo impression from Amsterdam- the Netherlands

In Amsterdam van 15.00u-19.00u aan het Groot Gelderlandplein (Buitenveldert) met sprekers om 15.30u en 17.00u
About 60-70 people were present. The weather was good: sunshine, cloudy sky and a lot of wind.
We had also contact by cellular phone with Gush Katif and were informed about the present situation.
The manifestation was very good organizedby the Comité 'Let my people stay'.


The Gelderlandplein was decorated with Orange balloons and posters	A lot of participators (Also from Israel - Gush Katif, Germany and Belgium) were wearing orange

There were very nice and clear banners made	The text could not be misunderstood

Netherlands connected with Israel through Gush Katif. The map shows Israel as it is: one country, not to be divided	Groot Gelderlandplein is a shopping mall in the Jewish quarter

Prayermeeting in Eemnes July 19 2005 at 20.00 hours

In the evening a prayer meeting was held in Eemnes, starting at 20.00 hours with christians from all parts of the Netherlands and from various churches. It was a very good meeting, where the Holy Spirit was present and a good sense of unity.
During the evening there was phone contact with Rachel Saperstein from Gush Katif. She mentioned to be in a war situation with rockets being fired at the settlement and the army not ointerfering or responding. They are busy with the peaceful supporters who want to march to Gush Katif. We sing a blessing song for the People of Gush Katif.
Overall the impression was very clear: the disengagement is against the Word of God, God is in control,
Not by force or by violende, but by My Spirit says JHWH.
A song we sung was stating it very clearly:

God, the faithful One, You never change.
Eternal One, You my Prince of Peace.
Lord of everyone, I trust in You.
JHWH, I call on You, again and again,
JHWH, I call on You, again and again.
You are my Rock, when I am stumbling
You lift me up, when I am falling down
Right through the storm, JHWH, You are the Anchor
I put my hope on You alone.

It is very clear, that JHWH is the only Hope, Protector and Provider For Gush Katif and for the other Settlements.
There is no G'd then JHWH, The G'd of Avrahim, Yitchak and Jaacov, The G'd of Israel.

Some photo's after the meeting in this very interesting Reformed Church with a special crucifix. The bench in front of the flag, was in the past used by the grandmother and the great-grandmother of our queen.
