Matthias and Marlisa Glastra live in the Rotterdam area of the Netherlands with their

daughter and son, whom they homeschool. They have served as leaders in FIRE Church in

the Netherlands and FIRE School of Ministry Europe for over ten years. Matthias and

Marlisa are now working together alongside other FI families in the Netherlands, the

Deelstra’s and the Joustra’s. As a team they planted King’s Church in August 2022. Matthias

serves as an elder and board member. Both their administrative skills are being put to use in

all sorts of ways to serve the church and be a blessing.

The church meets regularly for worship, prayer and intercession, pursuing Gods presence

and interceding for the Rotterdam area as well as the Netherlands. They long to see Gods

glory increase in their local church as well as in the area they are planted and in the nation.

There is a great need for God to move powerfully in a country that is far from God, in which

many people have left the faith, where there is a lot of confusion and deception. People

need to know the truth, experience Gods love and Gods design for family.

Matthias and Marlisa have a longing to see the body of Christ come to its full potential,

walking in freedom and fulfilling Gods plans and purposes through their lives. Currently they

are being trained with Restoring the Foundations Ministry in order to help the body of Christ

walk and live in the freedom Jesus Christ has purposed them to live in, through freedom

from generational sins and curses, replacing ungodly beliefs for Gods truth, to provide

healing from hurt and by bringing freedom from demonic oppression.

There are lots of opportunities to serve in the Rotterdam area; to the children, the elderly,

the poor and broken. And they have a heart to see that grow and expand in the future,

bringing the love and truth of Jesus to the area, changing lives and bringing restoration.
