Office History

The European Office started out as a missionary outreach center in 1987 at Brother Heino Buitenkamp's church in Wildervank from which books and tapes in a few European languages were mailed (or smuggled) to locations throughout Europe. In 1993 the Voice Of God Recordings office was moved to a larger facility, and new translations were added to the inventory, providing quick access to Message material in 10 European languages. In 1998, a new office and distribution center was built in Nieuw-Buinen, the old office no longer big enough to stock materials in the growing number of languages being produced.
