For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the sea.
It’s our desire to carry revival throughout the Netherlands, Europe, and ultimately the world.
ABOUT
ben & jacky kroeske
Ben & Jacky Kroeske are the founders and Lead Pastors of River Church Netherlands, a growing church with multiple locations across the Netherlands. Their heart is to help people encounter Jesus, grow in their faith, and become strong disciples of Jesus Christ.
Together, they also founded and lead River Ministries and River Schools. Through River Schools, Ben & Jacky and their team equip and train hundreds of new leaders each year through full-time and part-time Bible school programs.
Their passion is to see a generation rise up that lives wholeheartedly for Jesus, developing leaders, launching new ministries, and building strong churches that reach their cities and regions with the Gospel.
Their vision extends beyond the borders of the Netherlands. Through River Ministries, Ben & Jacky are committed to preaching the Gospel across nations, spreading the fire of revival, strengthening local churches, and reaching people with the power and love of Jesus.
This mission has taken Ablaze meetings across the Netherlands, one province at a time, as well as to other nations across Europe, including Ukraine and Moldova, and beyond Europe to Aruba, Curaçao, and Uganda – bringing local churches together with a shared heart for revival.
In 2024, Ben & Jacky launched the Ministry Network in response to a clear call from God to unite and strengthen leaders across the Netherlands and Europe. Their vision is to build strong nets of churches, ministries, and leaders that will work together to bring in the end-time harvest
We were just two ordinary people who said yes to God — and He did the rest. If He can do it through us, He can do it through you. Revival is now. Europe shall be saved.
