Support our family in missions!
Join us in making the bible more accessible through training and relationship.
HI, WE'RE THE DEVULANA FAMILY!
We are Lungisa, Rosalie and Zinzile, a South African-Dutch family living in Amsterdam!
We are passionate about working with young people and the Bible. We have been in missions as a family for 3 years and love finding God's goodness in the places we go and people we meet.
In Amsterdam you'll find us exploring the city enjoying new coffee spots!
OUR VISION
Our vision is for the Bible to be accessible for all people. We believe God teaches people through His Word how to live life in a way that will bless yourself and the people around you. We see this in his laws, character, and the way Jesus treated people when He was on earth.
Even if you have a Bible in your own language, it can be hard to understand. We want to equip people to be able to understand the Bible and become more like Jesus in our daily lives. We hope to give the people and churches we work with practical tools that will help understand the Bible and live out God's heart for humanity.
WHAT WE DO
Ending Bible Poverty Now
YWAM Amsterdam
We work in a team that is dedicated to "ending bible poverty now". This is an initiative that focuses on making the Bible accessible for all people in all nations. We see such a need in the Netherlands for people to get to know God’s character, and be changed by knowing Him. As a team we hope to see individuals, families, communities, cities, and nations transformed through the power of God’s Word. We want to do this through Bible teachings at our base in Amsterdam as well as going out to local churches in the Netherlands. We also create outreach opportunities for staff and Bible school graduates to learn how to share about God’s Word in places where the Bible is not known.
We work as full-time staff at Youth With A Mission in Amsterdam. YWAM has been working in Amsterdam since 1973 as an urban missions organisation. Through multiple ministries we reach out to the local community and people that pass through Amsterdam: tourists, refugees, local artists, homeless people, students and typical 'Amsterdammers'. YWAM Amsterdam also provides multiple training programs to get equipped in missions.
PARTNER WITH US!
Through financial support
The ministries we’re working with are dependent on volunteers, and our job does not come with a salary. We look to God for our provision, and He is always faithful! If you have it on your heart to partner with us, in whatever way that is, please contact us! We'd love to chat :)
Through prayer
We believe our work would not be fruitful without prayer. Make sure to sign up to our newsletter to receive our prayer requests, or join our prayer groupchat on whatsapp!
