Tineke Bouwman


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. Having known Holy Spirit from a young age, she has come to walk with such a hunger for God and for seeing a generation transformed by Him. 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. A small girl from a small village – she couldn’t have imagined where God would bring her, or how He would use her – but her yes has brought them to where they are today.

And over the past year she has seen that vision explode into a movement where we are seeing women daily impacted and discipled. She is committed to fully giving her life so that others might know Him.
