Chip Lunch

He really lives it [Nico's story]


Listen Later

A guy on a building site said it about Nico after knowing him for four weeks: he really lives it. Not as a compliment you'd fish for. Just something a 16-year-old apprentice said out loud because it was obvious.

Part 2 of Nico's Chip Lunch conversation picks up where Part 1 left off: with a Dutch migrant couple who arrived in Sydney in 1982 with no car, no connections, and a faith that had never really been tested because it had never really been doubted. What followed was forty-plus years of God's hand showing up in the details.

There's the house in Gymea that they bought from the estate of a fellow Dutchman, with a Ritmeister cigar tin on the table and a shelf in the corner that read "Jesus lives" in Dutch. The title deed that came back forty years later stamped with a Netherlands bank. The factory job that came through a man from church. The church that came through a teacher at the local school. None of it planned. All of it connected.

Nico also talks about what it actually looks like to share faith without making it a performance: the McDonald's arches he drew on a piece of timber to explain the two crosses at Calvary, the truck driver in a Dutch TV show who asked a reporter why he wasn't driving a truck, and why he'd rather do it than talk any day of the week.

He and Frederika ran kids holiday club at Miranda Community Church for years. They've been at MCC for over thirty years. And when asked what he'd tell his younger Christian self, he genuinely can't think of anything. Because he never doubted it. Not once.

Stories of Jesus Changing Everything. This is Chip Lunch.
