Episode 84: Albert Diepeveen, Just Give Thanks, part 2 (Netherlands)
Albert shares the incredible story of growing up under Nazi occupation in the Hague, Netherlands, and the malnutrition and tuberculosis that followed.
Being bedridden for years allowed a deep and profound anger at God to fester. Albert went from being angry at God to being a Jesus follower simply because of a friend’s challenge to be thankful.
Albert was so full of gratitude he went all over the world sharing business by the Bible principles.
In part 2, learn how Albert became a sought-after computer programmer, starting a lucrative consulting business. Albert was moved by a Christian friend's response to crisis and a challenge to Albert to be thankful even when he didn't feel like it.
"She tells me, 'I'm actually thankful that this has happened to me. I've never been closer to God. Whatever God decides is fine with me.'"
A mocking prayer of thanks from an attorney's letter was returned with salvation and a changed life. No longer angry at God, Albert's new life in Christ began with starting a Christian business men's group.
"I couldn't keep my mouth shut about Jesus anymore. I started with asking for prayer for my business." That initial prayer turned into a new business as evangelism model; Albert went on to teaching business principles from the Bible all over the world.
Albert's plea with God when he was sick as a child, to "become a missionary if I get healed," was answered years later. He did become a missionary, to business leaders worldwide.
