‘Love The Hague’ is about bringing the good news of the gospel of Jesus to people in need in The Hague. This is done through spending time with various people, serving them, helping out practically and by finding ways to build relationships through which we can show the love of Jesus in our deeds and words.
We want to see people in the city of The Hague encounter Jesus and see them come into the life and plans that God has for them.
We love being part of the wonderful city of The Hague and believe that God cares about the people of The Hague and wants to show Himself to them as we reach out to those around us in need.
How can I ‘Love The Hague’? What do we do?
