Kees and Willemijn Brouwer

Kees and Willemijn Brouwer worked 35 years under the patronage of the Church of Christ in Thailand. They retired in 2013 and live several months of the year in Chiang Mai. Near their house a charity foundation runs a house. Cancer patients from up-country can live here during their treatment.

Once a week Kees and Willemijn, together with a team of Thai Christians, organise a meeting and a free dinner for them. They sing Christian songs together and some biblical Truth is explained.
In their hardship, these people experience this coming-together like an “oasis”. Some of them hear the message of God’s great Love for man for the first time ever.

The Aroon foundation provided the finances for 10 healthy dinners so far.
