Freyja's Amsterdam experience (article found in The Crown)

I first fell in love with the city when we arrived at Amsterdam’s Central Station and was flabbergasted at every street, post and three story parking lot consumed with bikes. People call Amsterdam ‘Sin City’ but I saw a city structured the way I think God intended cities to be structured. Each morning Aleke Dekker gave a message focused on the importance of being present. The world and the Christian bubble are not meant to be as separate as we associate them to be, they are right beside each other, and as Christians we ought to be walking that narrow road between the two were we drink and are filled by the spirit on one side and spill out his love on the other. I was most encouraged during our last hour of being present in Sin City when a complete stranger walked up to us in the train station and ask “is this the prayer circle for the morning?”. We didn’t know what he was talking about or why he would ask that but we answered “umm…it can be”. He began to tell us about his life and eventually we asked if we could pray for him. He answered with tears streaming down his face “Yes! That’s why I came here”. So, BE PRESENT in the world! No strings attached, no agenda, just be there. If you are truly a lover of God and his people they will recognize you.
