After a career with the mercantile marine, he became involved with the vessel traffic services on the river Scheldt in The Netherlands. During that time Cees was trained and equipped in the local body of Christ, where he sensed a growing desire to see an increase of the Kingdom of God visible in society.

By the love and the grace of God he grew in maturity and became involved in extensive local, national and international apostolic/prophetic ministries. He loves to minister in the Spirit wherever God leads him. In churches or groups of different denominations, in seminars and other kind of meetings.

He is a motivational speaker and a teacher. He has a strong administrative anointing, supports and works together with apostolic- and prophetic ministries to enlarge the Kingdom of God. His serving is worldwide and his passion is to see the Body of Christ coming together in unity, followers of Jesus coming into a higher level of maturity and the saints being released into ministry as they rise to their greatest potential.

He loves to serve and help the Body of Christ to fulfill her God-given destiny. Cees is married with Elly and they live in Ermelo, The Netherlands. They have two children, of which the oldest is married. They are grandparents of two grandchildren. They initiated "Support Ministries" to what it is to day. Next to their ministries they also take care of the daily affairs of Support Ministries and the publishing house of Support Ministries.

Cees does not charge a fee to minister but comes on love offering basis. We do ask that you provide for travel expenses and accommodations. He is willing to serve your ministry trusting the Lord to meet the needs of Support Ministries. We are sensitive to your desires and particular situation, as our aim is to understand the specific needs of your group, so we may minister most effectively.
