International News
From the Dutch Area The Dutch language brethren enjoyed a wonderful and
1npiring Feast of Unleavened Bread under clear blue skies. Although the
spring-like weather was exceptionally nice with pleasant temperatures, at­
tendance at Passover and the holy days was down from last year due to a se­
vere flu plaguing this country. Up to 75% of the nation has been affected.
Many of the brethren were bedridden for several days, some for a week or
more.
Passover was held in four different locations while for the first and last
holy days combined services were held just outside of the city of Utrecht.
Attendance at the Passover was 198, and the highest attendance on the holy
days was 327. The total combined offering for both holy days resulted in an
11.4% increase over last year. This is a great blessing to the Church here.
God has indeed blessed the small group of people He has called, even while
the local economic picture is far from rosy.
On the first day of Unleavened Bread, Mr. Andre de Vos from the Antwerp
church was ordained a deacon. Also during the days of Unleavened Bread the
office move took place. The Dutch language regional office has now moved
officially to a new building in the city of Nieuwegein, seven miles outside
of Utrecht. The new mailing address is: Ambassador College, P.O. Box 444,
3430 AK Nieuwegein, The Netherlands. Phone: (3402) 39922.
We are now occupying one wing on the second floor of a new four-story
building with a floor area about 150% more than our previous facilities.
