On July 31, 2015, Ferdinand Guevarra along with his young family, wife Jennifer Holland and their children Gabriel and Madeleine, moved across the ocean from Washington DC to Hilversum, the media capital of the Netherlands. In obedience to the calling of the Holy Spirit, they sold everything and left behind their comfortable life and successful careers to pursue a vision that God birthed in their hearts to reach the country of the Netherlands through Christian radio. The product of that dream is 100 Percent Grace Inc., an IRS approved, not-for-profit organization. In May of 2014, 100%GRACE Radio was launched at 100pgrace.fm, iTunes, TuneIn and other radio websites, complete with Dutch DJ, Christian music, preachings, and inspirational messages. In 2015, Google Inc. granted 100 Percent Grace Inc. $10,000 worth of Google AdWords advertisements per month. Almost two years since it’s inauguration, this commercial free internet radio station has become a successful ministry with hundreds of thousands of people listening throughout the world!
While the radio has turned into a Global outreach, their heart’s desire to reach the lost people in the Netherlands has grown exponentially. In 2013, while serving at Lifepoint Church in Fredericksburg, Virginia, through a series of God-orchestrated events, they connected with Pastor Sebastiaan Van Wessem, the visionary behind ARC Nederlands and the pastor of Thousand Hills International Church in Hilversum. Ferdinand and Jennifer have been blessed with the opportunity to support the launch of Thousand Hills Huizen, their first satellite campus. They now play an active role being part of the staff and dream team at Thousand Hills International Church. They have and will continue to further God’s kingdom by assisting with the IT, Creative Arts, and Events planning needs of Thousand Hills International Church.
The Netherlands is a country that is known for its perversion and liberality. There is a need for revival in this land through the message of the redemptive love of Jesus. The percentage of spirit-filled Christians has declined to its lowest in history; while atheism and agnosticism are common, Islam is now on the rise as the predominant religion. The gospel is dying with the elderly and the good news is not being passed down and introduced to the younger generations. Disinterest amongst the millennial youth is one of the primary reasons for the decline in Christianity. That is why it is so important to reach these younger generations with the timeless message of Jesus communicated to them innovatively through media and technology.
That is where Ferdinand and Jennifer are allowing themselves to be used as vessels by the Lord to bring their experience and expertise from America to the Netherlands to help to bridge the generational gap. God has recently placed it on their hearts to originate “Kingdom Projects”, a missional outreach geared towards growing God’s churches in the 21st century. The vision for Kingdom Projects is to accelerate local church growth by coming alongside of newly planted church campuses and assisting them with building powerful worship and enjoyable Sunday service experiences. It’s future projects will bring the modern logistics found at multisite churches in America and replicate them here in Europe. Kingdom Projects will individualize a comprehensive toolkit to meet the specific needs of a brand new church launch, a new satellite campus location, and/or a current church needing an ‘Extreme Makeover – church edition’. Kingdom Projects will utilize short term missions teams of specially trained, multimedia experts from large multisite church partners in the U.S. to feed into newly planted churches or satellite campuses here in The Netherlands, and eventually in all of Europe. With engineering and creativity, they will offer guidance and assistance with utilizing modern day technology to enhance the multimedia church experience through video, acoustics, stage, design and environment while maintaining the church’s identity and DNA.
A message from Ferdinand and Jennifer…
We thank you for taking the time to read about the passions that God has placed in our hearts. We are asking for you to come alongside of us as a mobility partner for God’s vision. We have thrown ourselves whole-heartedly into God’s Kingdom; which means quitting our jobs and not allowing other jobs and distractions to take away from the time we spend carrying out this task. We have personally invested heavily in following the calling of the Lord. We have taken bold steps of obedience that required an unshakeable faith to stretch us beyond our comfort zone into an area of full reliance on God. It is a humbling step to ask and allow you to minister to us by providing financial support through investing in the Kingdom of God. This is a huge leap of faith and a completely new experience for us, having previously been accustomed to receiving a competitive salary from employment at one of Wall Street’s top 500 companies. We now stand strong as we claim God’s promises and trust in His provision. Please pray earnestly about your role in supporting us financially. When you give, you become a key player and a vital part of the mission to reach the lost and grow the Kingdom of God. Please visit the “Invest” page at www.100pgrace.fm to make your one-time donation or a scheduled monthly reoccurring donation. All donations in the United States are tax deductible with a return receipt. We thank you in advance for seeing our need, and meeting our need, as we follow God and reach the whole of the Netherlands with the gospel through 100%GRACE radio and Kingdom Projects! God is building a foundation of laborers for the works He has planned for the future of the Netherlands, and we are so honored to be chosen by Him to carry out His works. The Best is Yet to Come!!!
Giving to the cause of the gospel is a way to store treasures in heaven that will never fade or fail (Matthew 6:20). There is great reward in investing in the things that have eternal yield. A temporal inheritance can be squandered but an eternal inheritance is a reward that never goes away.
