Why Faith Integration?
Migrants bring their faith and beliefs with them to the Netherlands.
But how can one be a believer in a new, Western culture?
This is why we are here!

OUR PROJECTS
Below we show a few of our most important projects. Have a look and feel free to offer your services financially or as a volunteer, or both.
Country Teams
Say you come from Eritrea and you’d like to meet other Christians. Or you are a Dutch Christian and would love to build relationships with the Chinese in your area or church. Our Country Teams can help! We build teams for each culture for advice.
Freedom Focus
Migrants moving to the Netherlands often only start processing their journey once living here. Sometimes there are traumas, or intense alienation. It is not uncommon for this to cause addiction or other issues. We made a course for multicultural groups.
Sharing Bread
Many women with a migrant background experience loneliness. Sharing Bread is an online platform on which women of different nationalities meet each other. There are vlogs on food, beauty, life questions and faith. Additionally, we organize offline meetings.
Buna for Eritrean Women
Eritrean women are vulnerable on their journey of integrating in the Netherlands, many of them are traumatised. A ‘buna’ (coffee in Tigrinya, the Eritrean language) is a gezellig (fun) time out together for Eritrean women to meet each other. They build community, relationships, trust and hopefully over time, recovery.
Training pastors
You work as pastor or pioneer in a multicultural setting. We have expertmeetings and a huddle for you! You can share experiences with colleagues and learn from each other. We help you to grow in your mission.
Reading the Bible in a Multicultural Group
A migrant who escaped the war in Syria would read the Bible differently than a migrant from Nigeria, or an expat from China. It is in any case inspiring to read the Bible together, but it is especially enriching if we do so with different cultures. For this we are developing material
A FEW TESTIMONIALS
What has Faith Integration done for several involved?
My Name is Angie NG Bee Hiong. I come from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Organisation of Faith Integration has helped me find a community of likeminded Chinese in which I can practice my faith. Now and again I try and translate for new Chinese Dutch citizens.Angie Ng Bee Hiong

I find it important for my children to meet different people. This enriches their upbringing and will put their views into perspective. By joining a variety of Faith Integration projects this happens almost automatically.Loek Balvers
