More good advice and OPEN CALL


Thanks  I am now back home with wife D. which is great.   Praying for you again.    The main thing is never first what we are doing but first who we are and our life in Christ……have you read some of my books.? In his grip, george

and my reply:
Yes, I did, but many years ago. Which title again would you recommend? Then I might re-read or read it, the one that you think will help me with this specific dream.

I think I will read these books and meanwhile keep looking for my team:

George:
I would love you to read my books….can I send them in spanish or English or both….you can always give  them away if extra   my latest is Drops  or Gotaas…I think you would find it helpful.  Put clear address in an e mail back to me.  His grip george




And so I did. Meanwhile I have an OPEN CALL to my friends but also people I have never met before:

IF

you are believer (as in you have Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior in your life)
you LOVE other cultures, love to travel, love to be in the outdoors, love the ocean
you are adventurous, 
but also enjoy working in one place, working hard but because you love it so much it doesn't matter
love to be in a warm country and like people and their mentality from warm countries in general

AND  PERhAPS

you happen to be a captain
you happen to be a miljonair or know people who are so rich they would love to do something nice with their money
you happen to have contacts in the maritim world
you are in the boat vessel business or in some business connected with ships
or you know someone who is

OR

You are good in organizing, you are an effective progressive type
You are  artsy carpenter
You are architect
You are a chief engineer
You are into (green) durability 
You are visionary
You are great in connecting people, but also mobilizing people
You are dreamy
You have a great sense of humor

AND

God has placed a similar look-alike dream in your heart or you could see yourself in some place in this either 
BASIS of the Art ship: the art platform based in Curaçao
or you could see yourself serving on this art ship


Hmmm, maybe you should write me more about your ideas! Maybe you would like to be part of my prayer team?
Let's start communicating
This is me:


I enjoy ice cream from time to time. How about you? Tell me more about you and your dream :) Who knows who knows.





Good advices


Dear Avantia   
 I read this and prayed for you.  I would suggest you get at least 10 people  sold out to your dream and vision who are ready to suffer and have their hearts broken many times to go forward to make it happen.   Esp get a captain and chief engineer.  I had both and many more people before I took the big step  plus 14 years of solid foundation…prayer partners ...   donors….and about 100 people long term that were committed and loyal including top accountants…
Keep in mind as I learned the hard way that you will need huge amounts of money…and that ships are basically to some degree major floating problems.  Be read to eat them for breakfast.    So God bless you.      It's best to be in touch with our ship director Peter Nicoll…..praying for  you.    One idea is to do it on land in  a rented place to prove the vision and grow it.    This is what we did and it was a great help
his grip,
George

My response:

Dear George,

Thank you so much for your response. It is very helpful advice. I will continue to pray and search for a team. I think it is a good idea to start first on land. 
Thank you also for already being in my praying team :). If you meet people that you think: hey, this person has a similar dream as Avantia has, you can give them my email address.

Many blessings and greetings for sunny Curaçao!

Avantia
