What to expect

It is Saturday, June 24th, you enter the Olympic Stadium and immediately you get the feeling that you are part of something much bigger.

Many bands and speakers are ready to worship God with you and take you through a dynamic message that will impact your life. The whole day revolves around the hope we have in Jesus and how we can spread this hope to those around us.

Both national and international organizations and churches of different denominations are participating, from a shared mission: to reach everyone with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the next ten years! A unique moment to give an official starting shot for this. And to reach everyone we need everyone, including you!

The program starts at 1:00 pm with an international sing in with Iwan & Rebekah and the Church band choir. How cool is that! Together with 22,500 people worshipping God.
Several well-known Dutch speakers such as Ruben Flach, Jan Pool, Felix Govers and Arleen Westerhof will inspire us and several pastors from Amsterdam will open the day. During the international sing in, the Passion Cross will be carried inside, followed by flags from all the countries of the world. An impressive moment!
Together we will pray for the Netherlands.

From the Netherlands we go on a journey. A journey through all parts of the world to see what God is doing. We start in Europe. Ben Fitzgerald (Germany), Glyn Barret (UK) and Anne Christiansen (Norway) take us to see what God is doing in Europe. The English band Chroma leads us in praise and worship between short and inspiring messages, and together we pray for Europe.

From Europe, the journey continues to South America. We listen to Claudio Freidzon (Argentina) and Cash Luna (Guatemala), both revival preachers from South America. They see hundreds of thousands of people coming to Jesus and are seeing tremendous growth of churches in South America. The Brazilian band Dunamis takes us into praise and worship.

From South America we move to Asia, the continent where most of the world’s people live. Younghoon Lee (South Korea), Niko Njotorahardjo (Indonesia) and Brother Yun (China) have 3 short, powerful messages for us. We hear testimonies of what God is doing in Asia. We will pray for this beautiful great continent.

The journey continues, from Asia to Africa. Goodwill Shana (Zimbabwe), E.A Adeboye (Nigeria) and Daniel Kolenda (USA, evangelist in Africa) will show us in what ways God is powerfully working in Africa. The Oral Roberts University band will lead us in praise and worship between messages.

From Africa we will travel to the USA, including Cindy Jacobs (USA). She will bring a prophetic message. Nick Hall (USA) will also briefly share the Word of God with us.

Our journey finally ends in Australia. Russell Evans (Australia, Planetshakers Church) talks about how God is working mightily in Australia and the band Planetshakers leads us in exuberant praise and worship.

The day is not over yet! After our journey around the world, new people walk into the stadium. They were invited during the outreaches in Amsterdam to come to the Olympic Stadium in the evening.

Evangelist Nathan Morris will bring a clear evangelism message and an invitation to people who want to follow Jesus for the first time. We expect hundreds of people to give their lives to Jesus.

After this wonderful moment, Jean Luc Trachsel and Martin Koornstra will pray for the sick and pray for the fulfillment and baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Lindy and the Circuit Riders lead the praise and worship during and after these special moments.

We will close the evening with a powerful word and the kickoff of 10 years of unprecedented evangelism by Dr. Billy Wilson (senior leader Empowered21) and Theo Hayashi (Brazil, leader the Send). This will be a very impressive moment.
During worship with Lindy and the Circuit Riders, the Passion cross will be brought out again, as a symbolic sign that Jesus needs the world.

In 1983 in Amsterdam Billy Graham sponsored the first International Conference for Itinerant Evangelists. Now, a generation later, evangelists, missionaries and Great Commission focused ministries are converging on Amsterdam again for the dawn of a new era of evangelism.

In 2033 the world will celebrate the 2000 year anniversary of Christ’s crucifixion, resurrection and the birth of the Church on the Day of Pentecost.

We believe the decade leading up to 2033 will be an important decade as we make it possible for everyone on the planet to hear the gospel.

People with a heart for the Great Commision from all over the world come to Amsterdam for the event for inspiration, equipment and encouragement for a new decade of evangelism.

Collaborate with believers from around the world about the Great Commission.

Innovate new ways to reach more people with the Gospel.

Experience the power of the Holy Spirit.

Inspire you to have a greater vision of God’s heart for the world.

All with one audacious goal: take the news of Jesus to every person on earth.​

The program in the stadium starts at 1 pm and continues until approximately 9:30 pm. At 12.30 pm the doors of the stadium will open.
In the morning, you can participate in an outreach in the city. This is from 10-12 am.

We open the event with praise and worship. There will be a time of testimonies, where we will start with the Dutch Church and celebrate the hope they bring to their country. 
After this different speakers will share how they are doing their part of the Great Commission, inspiring you to do so in your own region. We will be celebrating these testimonies with praise led by worship bands from all over the world. 

The evening program in particular is very suitable to bring your non-believing family and friends.


Everyone is welcome at this event. So invite all your family and friends to join!

For every leader with a heart for the spread of the Gospel, this is a unique event to be inspired and empowered with your church, organization or association to spread the Good News of the Gospel, even in a modern age of digitization and secularization.

You are not allowed to bring large bags or backpacks into the Olympic Stadium. Handbags with a maximum A4 size are excepted. If you are in doubt, security will probably be in doubt as well and it is better to opt for a smaller bag.

 

You are not allowed to bring the items listed below into the Olympic Stadium:

  • Your own food and drink. The only exception is baby food;
  • other liquids;
  • glass, cans, plastic bottles or aerosols, even if empty;
  • drugs;
  • toxic, flammable or explosive materials and fireworks.
  • clothing with provocative, offensive or insulting prints;
  • banners, cardboard / paper signs with lettering (up to a maximum size of A4, 210 by 297 millimeters, is allowed)
  • flags or flagpoles thicker than 2 centimeters and longer than 1.5 meters, umbrellas / parasols, selfie sticks;
  • walking sticks (except for medical reasons)
  • weapons, chains or other objects that can be used as weapons or disturb order
  • professional audio and video equipment, GoPro devices and other recording equipment;
  • drones or other flying objects;
  • horns or other noisemakers, musical instruments (including the Shofar), loudspeakers
  • animals
  • flyers or other promotional materials
  • skates, bicycles, scooters, skateboard
  • chairs or stools.

In general, if you are in doubt whether to bring something and it is not necessary: do not bring it. We cannot take items that are not allowed inside for safekeeping. Do not bring unnecessary objects and valuables into the Olympic Stadium.

 

If you need to bring medication, we recommend that you also bring a doctor’s note.

It is not possible to withdraw money from an ATM, neither in the stadium nor on the surrounding event grounds.

There will be several water points on the event site. Unless otherwise indicated, this is drinking water.

There are plenty of restrooms both in the stadium and on the area around it.

Most of the stadium and the area around it is not covered. We are assuming it will be a beautiful day in June without rain, but it is and always will be Holland and the weather often does what it wants, so take the weather into account!

Here are some tips!

  • In the evening it can cool down. It is wise to bring an extra sweater, vest or jacket.
  • If rain is forecast, we advise you to bring rainwear. Please note that umbrellas are not allowed inside the stadium.
  • In fine weather, it is wise to protect yourself from the sun. Wear protective clothing, use sun protection and drink plenty.

We want to minimize the impact of this event on the environment. Therefore, we are making a number of choices to be as sustainable as possible.

 

  • Circular cup system: during this event we will use R-PET soft cups. Visitors are encouraged to return their cups to the bars. These cups will be collected separately and can be recycled.
  • Waste: We do not consider waste as a residual product, but as a collection of valuable raw materials. There will be central recycling points where waste will be collected separately as much as possible.
  • Power: We choose to use clean and renewable energy as much as possible. For example, we use power generated by solar panels on the roof of the Olympic Stadium. The goal is to use at least 75% green power.
  • Food: at least 50% of the food offered during the event will be vegetarian. This is how we create awareness and reduce the impact on the environment.
  • Transportation: we encourage everyone to come to the event by public transportation as much as possible. For the delivery of all materials, we try to combine as much transport as possible.

Yes, the Olympic Stadium is wheelchair accessible. You can park in the parking garage under the Olympic Stadium (as long as it is not full). From here you can go up with the elevator. When you reached the top, you can go around the stadion to the main entrance. The main entrance is a wheelchair-accessible entry. There is a wheelchair-accessible platform at the back of the field.

Yes, it is possible to come to the Olympic Stadium by coach bus. You can follow the signs ‘Ordered transport’ when you arrive at the stadium. It is only possible for coach busses to drop people off at the Olympic Stadium, after the drop off they must leave again. For pick up, busses can wait on the Fred Roeskestraat. To make sure this goes smoothly, bus drivers must follow the instructions from the traffic controllers. 

It is possible that your question is not listed. Contact us for more information. We look forward hearing from you. We will keep expanding this FAQ in the near future. We advise you to check this website regularly for new information.
