Permit us to introduce
the board to you:
|
Chairman:: Drs. W. van Laar. In
1989 he was invited to join the Board. At that time he was recently
back from Chile, where he worked from 1983-1988 in the Mission.
‘My knowledge of the Spanish language, and my interest in the
Spanish world and churches in it, made me react positively. As a
secretary with special consignment since 1994 at the Dutch Mission
Council (Nederlandse Zendingsraad), which unites many churches
and Missionary organisations, with an emphasis on Mission in Europe, I
feel attracted to the goal and work of the foundation 'Evangelie in
Spanje'. (Gospel in Spain). Since summer 1998 I took over from
the rev. Voerman as a chairman. Since 2004 rev. Van Laar is director of
the NZR. |
|
Treasurer: G.B. van Delft RA Since 1993 highly valued as member of
the board. From his home base in his church in Zeist he is attracted to
the international tasks of the churches. With great drive and accuracy
he keeps the board on the right tracks in practical matters. |
|
Vice chairman,
and more than 30 years member of the board, mostly as chairman, is the
rev. mr. A.A.A.E.A. Voerman. His connections with Spain
date back from 1954, when he was sent as a fraternal worker to Spain,
where he worked as director and professor at the Theological Seminary
in Madrid, where many a pastor of the Protestant Churches in Spain was
taught. After Franco closed the Seminary, and the private teaching he
kept up illegally proved too risky, he had to go back, but he kept ever
after close relations with the churches and the people in Spain, partly
by way of the Gospel in Spain. |
|
The Rev. Ph. Fromont has been member of the board since 26 - 5- 1998 as a pastor of the French Speaking Eglise Wallonne in Amsterdam. In 2004 he left in order to be a pastor in Mons, in the South of Belgium, his natal ground. His interest in South Europe comes from his connections as a Chairman with the 'Comité Vaudois', which seeks to further the cause of the Protestants in (Northern) Italy. So he is our contact for France, Italy and Spain. |
The secretary of the board is since
25-5-98 mrs. G.A. Voerman - van Haselen, by her
marriage since long related to the foundation, when her husband was
chairman. She assisted him in the latter years in the publication of
our Bulletin. |
We still look
for members able and willing to participate in the board, from all
Protestant Churches
and traditions! Knowledge of the Spanish language helps a lot. And love
for the
Cause too. So... if you are interested, just contact us. Geertebolwerk
