Presence

What Presence does

Stichting Presence Nederland is a Dutch ANBI-registered non-profit foundation founded in 2019 by Wim and Gea Hoddenbagh to conduct street worship, public prayer, and evangelical outreach across Europe and beyond. Its flagship initiative, 'Presence Worship on the Streets,' organizes weekly gatherings at train stations and public squares in cities including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Groningen, Antwerp, Brussels, and Paris, with parallel programming in Curaçao, Aruba, Bonaire, Suriname, and Brazil. Events are live-streamed via the @presencerevival YouTube channel, which accumulated 5.66M views, 1.04M watch hours, and +49,003 net subscribers in 2023, and are supplemented by social media activity on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

The organization's product surface extends beyond street events to include recurring mission trips, a practical discipleship-training program that equips hundreds of evangelists annually, prison ministry conducted in 20+ correctional facilities in partnership with chaplaincy services, and a grant program that distributed €295,734 to evangelists, street workers, and partner churches in 2023 (of which €199,884 went to direct ministry work and €95,850 to monthly evangelist support). No proprietary technology platform is operated; YouTube, Stripe, PayPal, iDEAL, and the GIVT mobile app function as standard distribution and donation-processing infrastructure.

The business model is entirely donation-based with no commercial revenue streams. Funding comes from one-time gifts (suggested at €25/€50/€100) and recurring monthly or quarterly partner donations processed via SEPA direct debit, card networks, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfer. Donations are tax-deductible for Dutch taxpayers under the foundation's ANBI status (RSIN 859410341, KvK 73228486). The foundation is governed by Chairman Frank Weening, Treasurer Christiaan Beukema, and Secretary Anne Roskam, with all board service rendered without compensation per statutory provisions.
