Dare to Dream, written by Mattheus van der Steen, is a fantastic firstfruit and shows how God wants to raise a whole army of worshipers who are committed to Him, and who are willing to give up everything to bring His glory to the ends of the earth. If I could duplicate Mattheus and Rebekah a thousand times, I believe that my vision to give one million orphans a home could be fulfilled. At this moment, God is releasing His sons and daughters worldwide to fulfill His Great Commission. The lives of Mattheus and Rebekah are examples of this. They have understood God’s heart for the orphans and widows, and the love of Jesus in them is obvious for all to see. Their testimony and their lives are signs of what God wants to do in an entire nation. Read this book and be challenged to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the people who are brokenhearted as well as the lost and the dying.

We love Mattheus and Rebekah van der Steen. They are dreamers of the most extraordinary kind. They live to make God’s dreams come true—His dreams for nations, for widows and orphans, and for Heaven on Earth. As you read the stories of dreams come true in this book, you will be encouraged to believe in miracles for your own life.

This book releases the dreamer in you and will encourage you to walk in your God-given purpose. It is a book filled with hope and reminds us that we can do all things if we pray and believe that we will receive. Mattheus is a living example of this. When you read this book, let the fire and wind of God blow through the chambers of your heart and let it awaken again the dreamer in you so that you can go and walk in your destiny.

I got to know Mattheus van der Steen and the TRIN team at a conference in the Netherlands and was deeply moved by their love for, and dedication to, the participants. They gathered the young and the old and made room for them to connect in various ways. However, most of all I enjoyed the freedom in the Spirit. When I learned of Mattheus’ book, Dare to Dream, I was excited about it as we share mutual desires, visions, and the heart to encourage people to dream God’s dreams for their lives. It is my prayer that many people will be impacted by this message and begin to walk in their destinies.

Dare to Dream is a wonderful story of personal transformation that leaves readers with a passion to see the same thing happen in their own lives. Only transformed people can become transformers. Mattheus van der Steen and his wife, Rebekah, have truly become just that, devoting themselves to seeing the transformation of cities and nations. The impact of this book will be great, bringing many into the Kingdom.

Dare to Dream is not just a title, but an accurate description of my dear friend, Mattheus van der Steen. He dreams big dreams, and he works hard and sacrifices much to achieve those dreams. Dreams will take you to places you have never before imagined. Dreams are the language of hope for leaders. Those who do not dare to dream have "died," although their funeral will not take place for many years! This book will challenge you to dream big dreams and inspire you to expect greater things in life. Get this book, not only for you, but for the people you lead, your dear friends and family. It is a book which must be read.

Mattheus van der Steen has a genuine desire to reach the lost and bring the light and love of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to the world. His commitment and sacrifices are evidence of that desire. I strongly believe that after reading his book, Dare to Dream, you will start dreaming and believing you can achieve your God-given purpose. I pray the prophecy of the prophet Joel (2:28) will be fulfilled in your life. Think big, be ready to dream big dreams, and remember we serve a BIG GOD!
