August 2020, The Netherlands - My name is Robin Prijs and I am the founder of LoveUnlimited Ministries. I’m married to my lovely wife Esther since 2004 and she too is a part of this ministry. Since 2017 we are persecuted by the Municipality of Dordrecht, a municipality in The Netherlands, the same nation that hosts the International Criminal Court in The Hague. This persecution has caused us to lose our home, our income, our right to work in our own nation and several constitutional and human rights. Since we had to explain this situation so many times, I now finally decided to publish a public file on what’s happening to our lives and ministry.

One of the hardest days of my life was the day when my dad died, back in 2007, at the age of 56. One of his favorite video’s was one of Brian Doerksen and one of the songs from that video was ‘Your Faithfulness’, which was also played at his funeral. What really speaks to me in that song is the not knowing. I don’t know if I’ll be alive tomorrow. I don’t know if tomorrow will be a good day or not. I don’t know if we’ll have something to eat next week. I don’t know if I’ll be in good health during my remaining years on earth. I don’t know if we’ll ever going to win these court cases against us and I surely don’t know if we’ll ever have a home and income again. This I do know: God is faithful.

When I say that God is faithful, let me assure you that I’m not telling you that from my feelings. My feelings are far from understanding the fact that He is faithful. At times all my feelings go to war against me, trying to convince me that God is far from faithful and that this is never going to end. Yet I am so blessed by the fact that I know that FAITH IS NOT A FEELING. It is a choice. And I have made mine a long time ago. A choice that I refuse to withdraw. Never ever again shall I belong to the realm of satan. So while my feelings are kicking and screaming, my heart and mouth continue to proclaim that God is faithful. Yesterday, today, tomorrow and every single day of our lives. Right now our situation doesn’t seem like it, for it has the appearance that God has left us and His Own faithfulness, but if you will keep following this blog, you will see that He will pull us through. All the way. And even if He doesn’t, my heart and mouth will still proclaim His faithfulness.

This is not a pity party, but simply stating the facts of our current situation. The reason why I’m sharing all of this is because some may get the impression that we’re handling this really well and that we can go through this with ease. Let me assure you that that is not the case. What is happening to us is devastating and has ruined and broken us in so many ways, that I cannot even find the words for it. Through that all the only thing we can and will do is to keep our eyes focused on Jesus and to put our hope and trust in Him. Again, that is a choice, not a feeling. Thank God! For if it would have been a feeling, we would have failed miserably.


Neither we nor anyone else is employed by the ministry. Everyone who has helped and is helping along with the ministry are doing so on a voluntary basis, including my wife and I. That means that everyone has a different source of income than the ministry. As for myself, for several years I have been an IT professional and business owner. Several years ago my business came to an unfortunate end, leaving us with debts. Throughout the years I have gained a lot of experience, in particularly on the area of IT recruitment, but I never finished my high school, so I have no diploma’s whatsoever. While I was very successful in my job and while I have a lot of experience, at some point the market became less tight and companies started to demand the diploma as a must have again.

In 2014 my last position as recruiter came to an end and a new job was hard to be found. Since I don’t like to sit still, I decided to look for different jobs as well. Eventually I found a job as taxi driver. Not a street taxi, but a special taxi for special needs kids and hospital patients. I was promised that eventually that job would become fulltime, but I had to start on a parttime basis. This meant that the income was below the minimum to live from and thus I had to apply for an additional social assistance benefit. In The Netherlands these applications are handled by the municipalities. In our case we applied at the Municipality of Dordrecht and our application was approved.

In the time that followed, between 2014 and 2017, I received income from my job as taxi driver and the social assistance benefit supplemented income up to the social minimum. We’re talking about a few hundred bucks per month, for most of my income came from my job. Meanwhile we continued the ministry activities, all still on a voluntary basis. These activities mainly consisted of organizing weekly meetings. At several occasions we informed the Municipality of Dordrecht of all our activities.

In 2017 I started to develop serious health issues, leading up to the point where my employer requested me to stay home until I was doing better. The health issues had become a risk for the safety of the people in the taxi. Simultaneously we also had to postpone all ministry activities. I’ve spend several months battling heart issues, breathing issues and back issues. Most days I could only sit and wait for the day to be over. It felt like someone stole all my energy and even going to the toilet or taking a shower was a huge effort for me. During this time my contract at the taxi expired, because of which we became 100% depended on the social assistance benefit. Eventually this horrible situation finally started to improve again and slowly I felt my energy come back, while the heart, breathing and back issues were decreasing. In October 2017 I had enough of it and reported to the Municipality of Dordrecht that I was doing better that I wanted to continue with my job. Meanwhile my former employer had told me that he was happy to give me a new contract again.
