Carolyn and her husband, Johan, have been working with Youth With a Mission in Amsterdam for the past 31 years. They have 4 adult, married children and 9 grandchildren.

She is a speaker, teacher, mentor and coach to countless young people.

Besides their work with YWAM, they have a house of hospitality in the inner city of Amsterdam.

Carolyn has written three books, with the fourth on its way:

Broken Dreams, Fulfilled Promises

Mirror, Mirror: A Reflected Life

Als God Mijn Naam Fluistert (when God whispers my name in Dutch only)

Promised: A Meditation on God's Promises (currently being written)

The theme for the day will be The Rooted Life based on Psalm 1:1-3...

Where are we rooted?
What is needed to live a withered-free life?
How can we maintain this vitality for the long journey of life?
