Tineke Bouwman is the founder and forerunner of Lighthouse in Holland. She has a fire and a passion for Jesus that is contagious to the people around her.

The life she carries is one of surrender and obedience to God. A lover of family, she began with the simple act of welcoming people into her home. This offer of love to people grew beyond a simple meal – into a home and refuge for youth and young adults. This act of kindness grew over the years to become what we know today as Family Home. Raising up a group of young adults to transform the nations – it didn’t end there. While all this was happening, God opened the doors for a prophetic movement that grew to include Family Church. As the years continued, God began to open the doors to travel and connect with ministries all over the world.
