Originally from Poland and having lived in different capitals in Europe, I have now come to live in Amsterdam following the guidance of the Lord as He led me to attend a Bible School.
It has been an amazing journey of restoration and discovery where the Lord has led me to leave behind a life of anger and pain where it brought me to many destructive behaviors and He has been restoring me to His purpose. After giving my life to Him 4 years ago, my focus now is to go deeper in my relationship with the Lord; getting to know Him better and step into the calling He has set for me.
My goal is to help inspire many others that are or have been to similar situations as me, to believe that change is possible when you know the Lord!
Since joining this blog a year ago, the Lord has blessed my life in so many ways, I have grown in the areas of my gifts and calling and started a ministry with the homeless people specially from my native country but who are living in the streets of Holland. The only thing I can say is that, there is no better journey than the journey with Jesus. A journey of pure joy and transformation, a journey where you get to become the one He has purposed you to be.

My friends call me Rox. I am a Christian, originally from Brazil, living in Europe for over 25 years.
After having had the great opportunity of working in many different industries like Automotive, Travel and Hospitality, Payment and more; and having held many positions and followed many courses of my interest. I realize that I had
grown and learned a lot in many areas...But
I needed more, there was a part of me, that was always seeking higher, that felt that there was more to this life. There was someone I needed to get to know better, I knew his name, I knew about him, I've had some amazing encounters with him, I knew where to find him, but I didn't have a relationship with him. So in my search; after being baptized in 2015, attended other churches; a friend told me about the River Amsterdam Church and that is where my true Journey with Jesus begun. And what a Journey!? I can truly say it is the best journey of my life!
I started attending River in March 2020, in May after signing up to the River Bible Institute; I felt that God wanted me to start this blog, where I could share my experience and help others in their own journey with Jesus. Coaching, guiding, and supporting them in finding their purpose, peace, love, connection and true freedom in Him. What else?!
Ah yes...how could I forget?! Eternity in heaven...
