MissieNederland

What MissieNederland does

MissieNederland (legal name Stichting MissieNederland) is a Dutch nonprofit foundation (stichting) headquartered at Hoofdstraat 55, Driebergen, that operates as the largest evangelical alliance in the Netherlands. Its roots trace to the founding of the Evangelische Alliantie (EA) in 1973; the EA merged with the Evangelische Zendingsalliantie (EZA) in July 2013 to form EA-EZA, which was renamed MissieNederland on May 21, 2015. The organization connects, strengthens, and represents evangelical Christians, churches, and mission organizations across the Netherlands, currently engaging 6 church denominations, 103 participating organizations, 189 faith communities, and 338 personal individual participants, alongside a broader constituency of more than 200,000 Christians who participate annually in the Week van gebed voor eenheid.

The organization's portfolio consists of programs, networks, research, and publications rather than a unified software product. Core offerings include the Samen Jong program (helping churches become inter-generational), the MemberCare network (jointly with Nederlandse Zendingsraad, supporting missionary workers and their children), Jeugdtrends (annual research on Christian youth aged 12-30), KerkenToolkits (practical church resources), the ideaz magazine (3x/year), and themed networks including No Choice, INNOV8, Loving & Serving Muslims, Third Culture Kids (TCK), Gelijkwaardig leiderschap, and Vrede & Verzoening. The underlying technology is a Procurios-powered web platform with Google Analytics and Meta-pixel tracking; there is no API, mobile app, or proprietary AI/ML capability. The organization holds ANBI status (since 2013) and CBF Erkend Goed Doel recognition (since 2017).

Revenue mechanics are nonprofit membership-and-contribution based. Income streams include individual personal-participant subscriptions starting at €3-€5/month, institutional membership contributions from faith communities and denominations, one-time and recurring donations (€25-€150 or custom amounts on monthly/quarterly/annual cadences), and event revenue from the Jonge Generaties Dag, MemberCare-dag, and similar activities. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: recruitment via the website and 'Doe mee' calls-to-action, supported by email newsletters (~6x/year), Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn presence, and flagship events. Staff headcount is small (2-10 employees per LinkedIn), with a board of unpaid directors overseeing day-to-day operations managed by Director Martine Versteeg-ter Veen.

Direct peers

• National Association of Evangelicals (US): US counterpart representing evangelical churches, organizations, and institutions. Comparable in mission of evangelical coordination, public policy representation, and member-driven resource provision.
• World Evangelical Alliance: Global federation of evangelical alliances, of which MissieNederland is part through the EEA. Operates the same alliance-and-representation model at worldwide scale.
• Evangelical Alliance UK: The UK's national evangelical alliance and one of Europe's largest. Highly comparable in structure: membership of churches/organizations/individuals, advocacy, member services, and program portfolio.
• European Evangelical Alliance: The pan-European umbrella body of which MissieNederland is a national alliance member. Directly comparable in mission (evangelical unity, advocacy, representation) at a continental rather than national level.
• Raad van Kerken in Nederland: Dutch ecumenical council of churches — co-organizer of the Week van gebed voor eenheid with MissieNederland. Comparable as a national church-association umbrella, but with interfaith/ecumenical rather than evangelical scope.
• Nederlandse Zendingsraad (NZR): Dutch council of missionary sending organizations — co-founding partner of MissieNederland's MemberCare subsidiary. Direct peer in Dutch mission-coordination and a strategic ally on overlapping members and programs.

Regional players

• Evangelische Omroep (EO): Dutch public broadcaster with an explicitly evangelical identity and broad audience reach. Comparable as a nationally-recognized evangelical institution in the Netherlands, though operating in media rather than alliance/coordination.
• Evangelische Alliantie Vlaanderen: Belgian (Flemish) evangelical alliance — the closest linguistic and cultural peer to MissieNederland across the Dutch-speaking region. Operates the same evangelical alliance model in a neighboring market.

Broad incumbents

• Tearfund Nederland: Dutch evangelical relief and development NGO and MissieNederland alliance member. Directly comparable in evangelical-NGO positioning, member base, and donor model — though focused on diaconal/relief work rather than evangelical unity.
