Hey there, great that you are here!
I'm Jonathan
I am touched by the brokenness in the lives of young people. Over the past 16 years as a youth worker, speaker, author and leader, I have been privileged to invest in over 65.000 vulnerable youth.
Did you know that:
- 50% of young people feel structurally lonely or struggle with mental health issues?
- 17% have serious thoughts of suicide?
- 1 in 8 youth struggles or has struggled with depression
- 90% of young people do not have a personal relationship with Jesus
Over the next 10 years, we want to make change in the lives of 1 million young people in this, through our books, speaking and collaboration with others like you.

Bestselling author
Jonathan has had the opportunity to write four books in recent years. From the book “The 5 Habits,” how to make a big impact on young people very ordinarily, to [P]ubergeschikt, a smooth and inspiring book for teenage parents.
His latest book is about how to trust God when you face storms, setbacks or difficult circumstances in your life.
20 years experience, 1.250 speaking events
Public speaker
Jonathan has been privileged to speak for youth, churches, camps, schools, conferences and events for over 20 years.
He has learned to touch the hearts of young people on the raw realities of the streets, where gaining attention and holding on is everything, and in that to make God's truth and love relevant for today.
65.000 lives of vulnerable youth reached
Youth worker
Since 2010, Jonathan and his family have been allowed to invest full-time in young people.
They are touched by the brokenness and spiritual need in the lives of young people.
Their desire is that young people respond positively to the unconditional love of God within a living relationship with Jesus and find restoration in all areas of their lives.
Here's what to expect:

Content that moves

With no loss of attention

In today's language

Including unforgettable stories

Content that moves
Every day we experience the struggles, dreams and challenges that young people go through.
Therefore, the content of our speaking and books is always relevant to themes that affect young people, and it is our desire that their hearts be touched.

With no loss of attention
That's quite a promise isn't it? In our work with street youth, we have learned better than anyone else how to captivate young people during our speaking. Without losing focus.
Whether it takes 3 minutes, or 30. That's a promise we dare to give you!

In today's language
Do you recognize that the experiences of young people can sometimes be far removed from the experiences of the church?
Our heart and passion is to bring the gospel to young people in their language, with modern examples and recognizable stories.

Including unforgettable stories
Think about it: which sermons and books have you never forgotten? Do you remember the facts, the dry content? Or the story, full of recognizable struggles, emotions, and life lessons?
As human beings, we learn through unforgettable stories. That's why these take center stage when we visit you.
