Commissioners Dick and Vibeke Krommenhoek are living proof of The Salvation Army’s internationalism, with Dick being Dutch and Vibeke Danish in origin. During their 30 years of officership they have served in many different Salvation Army settings, including corps, divisional, territorial and international appointments. This has meant living in different European cities, such as Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Paris, London, Helsinki and since last February Oslo when they were appointed Territorial Leaders of the Norway, Iceland and The Faeroes Territory.
Before his current appointment, Dick served as the General’s Representative for Global Evangelization, assigned to investigate and prepare for new openings in countries where The Salvation Army had not earlier been officially present such as Namibia, Greece, Burundi, Mali, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Sierra Leone, Vietnam and Nepal. During this time, Vibeke was responsible for the opening of The Salvation Army in Poland.
The Krommenhoeks are looking forward to participating in the Central Territory’s Festival of Worship Arts and Commissioning weekend. Well known for his compositions, Commissioner Dick Krommenhoek also will serve as guest conductor of some of his choral and instrumental works. The Krommenhoeks pray that through their ministry God’s Kingdom will be strengthened for growth and Jesus Christ will be uplifted.
Krommenhoek wrote “I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart”.
