New Day International Church - Netherlands

New Day International Church, (NDIC), is an English language Christian Church which opened its doors in Almere, Netherlands about 5 years ago. Melvin and Louise Ho, AGWM Personnel who are the pastoral leaders and their organizational team say their objective is seeking to serve the international community in Almere by providing a growing relational and supportive network; an inspiring and contemporary Sunday morning church experience; and many resources (pastoral care, teaching, relevant literature, etc.), to help people connect faith to life. NDIC is a church which believes that nourishment not only includes the Word of God, but also good food.
