Jafeth and Sifra Bekx
What can we say ! Jafeth an Sifra were such a blessing to us in 2024. Their passion, musical ability and connection with the young people at the festival was superb. We just had to bring them back over from the Netherlands again - their ministry of leading us into an experience of authentic worship and encounter with the Holy Spirit was immense and we are so looking forward to having them join us again in 2025.
