During our concerts over the past year, we were able to collect together for the work of De Hoop. Thanks to your involvement and generosity, we have been able to transfer an amount of €13,000. A remarkable result, directly contributing to restoration and new perspective.
De Hoop supports people with addiction and psychosocial challenges on their way to a new life. Within the development program, clients work on personal growth, education, and work experience. Jan (63) is one of them: “I thought I was no longer able to learn. Now I have successfully completed my training and am already working on the next step in my education.” After years of addiction and relapse, he found a new beginning, with God’s help: “I had to completely change my behavior. I have made a total turnaround. That would never have been possible without God’s help and His blessing.”
Today, he dedicates himself to helping others: “I want to pass on His love and use my life to help others who are struggling.” As a result, others receive hope: “If Jan can do it, then maybe I can too!” This touches the very core of what we, as a choir, seek to convey: that hope, faith, and grace are not only heard in music, but also become visible in lives that are renewed.
We are grateful that, together with our audience, we could contribute to this. We sincerely thank everyone for their involvement.
“He comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” — 2 Corinthians 1:4
