Accessible courses where people can ask questions about faith and meaning of life.

Youth work that offers teenagers in vulnerable neighborhoods a safe place and a listening ear.

Pastoral presence for the homeless and others on the margins of society.

This is done, among other things, by: being present with the Bible bus four times a month to engage in conversation with passersby and distribute Bibles; hosting a children's Bible club and teen club with a joint lunch twice a month; holding an open-air children's club (Holiday Bible Week) at six locations every summer; conducting Bible study twice a week in which entire books of the Bible are discussed; and visiting a large group of people at home where practical and spiritual help is offered.

“We believe in an Amsterdam where there is room for everyone. In particular, we strive for a city where faith can grow and flourish, and where people look out for one another.” The movement champions equal opportunities and youth, focuses on what families and young people themselves need, and supports initiatives that arise from the community. Jesus teaches us to care especially for the most vulnerable; therefore, the city must take responsibility for people without a roof over their heads or in an unsafe home situation.

It is precisely there that, with God's help, we want to be a place of hope and comfort: to welcome, see, and meet people. We offer coffee, tea, and a meal, and share the Gospel with our fellow human beings. We regularly organize activities.

People can come here for a coffee, a sandwich, and a listening ear. On Fridays, there is also the option to take a shower and exchange dirty clothes for clean ones. Thanks to the dedication of many volunteers, this place can exist.

The problems of prostitution and sexual exploitation still exist, partly because people from crisis areas worldwide end up in them. In addition to street work, there is a drop-in center on the Oudezijds Voorburgwal, an exit program including work-study programs in our shop on the Noordermarkt, an exit home, and training for experts by experience.

The Shelter is present with local volunteers to meet the guests. Faith in Jesus forms the basis of the 'hospitality ministry'. Be part of the missional community and take a seat at the Shelter's Table to share life. Join the daily Bible prayer in the chapel and the Story Night in the café-restaurant or the garden (reading a Bible story together, listening to music, a walk, or a movie).
