Why we do what we do

Mission and vision

Shaking places together, renewing lives, and spreading hope — step by step, life by life.

Our mission at a glance

Schud de Plaatsen is a movement reaching both Christians and non-Christians, in the Netherlands and beyond. Our longing is to bring people into an encounter with the manifest presence of the Holy Spirit, so that lives are visibly transformed.

Transformation of towns and cities

We want to transform towns and cities by proclaiming the Gospel and demonstrating the power of the Holy Spirit. We believe every town and city can change when people come to experience the love of Jesus.

Encounter with the Holy Spirit

We create spaces where both believers and seekers can encounter the Holy Spirit. Through powerful worship, prayer, and teaching, we aim to encourage people to experience God in all His fullness.

Activation of Believers

We want to equip and activate believers to do the works of Jesus, such as healing the sick, casting out demons, and baptising people in water and the Spirit. We believe every believer is called to be an instrument of change in their community.

Accessibility

The activities of “Schud de Plaatsen” are for everyone, regardless of background or beliefs. We hold gatherings throughout the Netherlands and use online platforms to reach a wide audience, both nationally and internationally.

Change through Deeds

We believe deeds speak louder than words. By offering practical help and support to the sick, the underprivileged, and the vulnerable in our communities, we want to make Christ's love tangible. We also support local initiatives that bring people together, strengthening community ties.

Support for Charitable Institutions

Supporting exclusively public benefit organisations (ANBI-status charities), churches, and organisations that align with the foundation's purpose, as well as organisations committed to standing against the persecution of Christians.

The call is clear: everyone is invited to be part of this movement. Together, places can be “shaken”, lives can be renewed, and hope can be spread. Step by step, life by life, with a desire to see lasting transformation in the Netherlands and far beyond.

“Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”

Hebrews 12:26-29
