THE FAN

Ok, well I know the word fan all too well, especially when I started my heart project in 2003. So I then examined my own heart and eventually decided to organize an exhibition of international hearts in the city of Zoetermeer and then I published an actual heart newspaper. In that newspaper I reported on all the different hearts from Europe and I managed to regain confidence in my own heart. I then wanted to bring the heart newspaper to 2 special people who are part of my heart. That was a much-loved teacher named Jacqueline Hoogeveen and that was my most beloved guest teacher Willem de Ridder, who I actually turned out to be a fan of even before I started art school. I definitely wanted to bring him my own heart newspaper personally and of course I did that. Bringing my own heartfelt newspaper to these 2 special people, of whom I certainly considered myself a fan, was able to lead to a very special result, without their own involvement. I would like to explain something about this to you. My former most beloved teacher from the art academy, who could be an enormous inspiration to me, was no longer working at the art academy when I brought her the heart newspaper, but as a volunteer at the Holy Heart Chapel in near Deventer. She visited sick people and comforted them with the holy word as she had once learned from her own father. I had never known this about her and stood looking at it with wide eyes of amazement. I took the second heart newspaper to my former guest teacher who had been very important to me. This visit also had a great impact on me. He actually gave me a few newspapers as a gift and he told me a very special story about the origins of his very popular book SPIEGELOGIE.  ( with the idea that everyone will actually be a mirror image of each other) It turned out that Willem had fled the Netherlands due to a major lack of presence of Real Love in the Netherlands.

He had fled to America and turned out to be able to come into contact with lawyer Arnold Patent in America. This introduced a very important fact for Willem and what it could do if you could actually be each other's fans.

Arnold had wanted to introduce the so-called FAN CLUB GAME to Willem and Willem was very touched by this.

The fan club game is based on the incredible power that the concept of FAN can represent.

Willem even went back to the Netherlands and wanted to work out this idea of the so-called fan club game in Dutch in a quiet place.

This book turned out to be a huge success in the Netherlands and Belgium.

According to Willem, in a short time hundreds of groups had emerged, all of whom wanted to play that fan club game.

 

 

Very impressed Naturally

I was very impressed by the story that Willem had told me and I bought the book myself and went to play in The Hague. What particularly surprised me about Willem's book SPIEGELOGIE was the very enthusiastic foreword written by a lawyer from Groningen named Yvonne Samuels. Actually, I had very little confidence in lawyers at that time, but this enthusiastic woman named Samuels really attracted me. So when I saw the name Samuels, I suddenly thought of a story called that. The story of SAMUEL. What was that again? I wanted to know and before I wanted to contact this lawyer, I wanted to know how that story went. I then called a foundation that bore Samuel's "coincidental name" and asked them about the story. I received an answer to this from a nice woman from the Samuel foundation. It was the very special son of a certain Hannah who had been unable to conceive. I listened to the story with great interest and at the end of the story I wanted to thank the woman from the Samuel Foundation again and put the phone down again. But the woman from the Samuel Foundation wanted to ask me something else. She then asked me if I didn't want to know more about the stories from the Bible, so that I could take a free online course "WHY JESUS?". Although I wasn't much into Bible stories at first, I immediately thought: "Yes, why not? So I was then sent my very first Bible with the title: WHY JESUS? Actually just because I had read the story of SAMUEL. want to hear!

 

 

THE GREAT MIRACLE

I definitely see it as a very special miracle that, thanks to the example of a Chinese colleague from Diemen (Cheuk), I was able to get in touch with a woman on the other side of the world named Hannah, but also with the 2 Chinese Watchman Nee and Witness Lee, 2 special god people who, unlike most churches I knew, had introduced a church without pastors . So no pastors or preachers who know it all so well, but want to rely on the actual stories that can be found in every Bible. And in addition, a revised edition of the original Bible had been released. So in 2005 I made contact with Hannah and in 2006 I traveled to the Philippines for the first time and met very special people with whom I wanted to establish the Bando foundation.

I converted to the belief in REAL LOVE and was baptized in the sea near Dapitan on January 1, 2007

 

 

 

THE FAN

Today I asked myself the question again: WHAT IS A FAN?

The literal meaning is of course easy to find and is as follows:

 

A fan is an enthusiastic admirer or lover of a public figure, music group, writer, artist, athlete, television series, film, etc.

 

The first known use of this originally English word, probably an abbreviation of fanatic, was in 1682.

 

or else:

(noun) [general] admirer, worshipper, fanatic, bigot; supporter - Some fanatics will do anything to catch a glimpse of their idol. - As a die-hard supporter, he never missed an international match. [techn. fan, impeller - In this heat, a fan is no match for climate control.

but then about 10 shorter meanings:

fan

fan = someone who likes sports
fan = device that refreshes a room by creating an air flow
fan = supporter of a sports club
fan = big sports fan
fan = someone who puts a lot of effort into something
fan = fan
to  fan =  verb: to stir up (an emotion) more intensely
to fan = verb :  to move the air
to fan = verb: strike out (a batter), (of a pitcher)
to fan = verb: to separate the chaff by means of air currents

We think it is advisable and important that one reads at least the book

'Handbook of Mirrorology'

read, or experienced the intensive weekend with Willem,
or listened to this weekend's cassette tapes.
These conditions are bragging
a bond of trust in advance with the existing fan clubs.
