So, what does this mean? Do we give up trying to reach the Dutch since they're leaving anyway?

I would argue that it means that we need to further integrate our evangelism and church planting to include "the future" of Holland. There will always be Dutch here, and they certainly need Jesus. But there will continue to be more and more from the outside. They need Jesus too. And they need a church that is here where they are, to nourish them and to be a place where God's love is made tangible, God's name is glorified.

Who knows. Perhaps it is through this hybrid church that the gospel will make great advances in this country! Glorify Your Name, O Lord!
