Dear hiking friends,
Last Saturday, March 8, we were able to experience the opening of the Jerusalem🕊️Way in the Netherlands with a group of enthusiasts on Dam Square in Amsterdam. What a great day it was!
We started in the morning with a short welcome at the ECG building in Uithoorn and then left together by public transport to Amsterdam Central Station. There we picked up some more participants and walked to Dam Square. Once there, some more participants joined the group.
After a short word from the founders, the champagne could be uncorked and glasses raised. After the ‘Plop’ and the pleasant relaxation, it was time for the ‘Urban hike’ and the colorful group set off. The route led past various well-known and historical places that have left their mark on the history of the city.
At the RAI metro station, the return journey to the ECG building in Uithoorn was resumed by public transport. Once there, Walter and Johannes gave a presentation about the creation of the Jerusalem Way in the Netherlands, Europe and the Middle East. For the ‘die-hards’, a dinner with the organizers was organized for the participants at the end, after which everyone went their way home.
We look back on a beautiful and blessed day and hope that this new walking route will be a blessing for many.
