Reverend Willem J.J. Glashouwer was born in the Netherlands in 1944 during
the Second World War in a Dutch Reformed family that was active in the
Resistance Movement. His father was a nationally well-known Dutch Reformed
pastor, who was in prison during World War II several times, and was
actively involved in hiding Jews.

After his classical High School Education at the Gymnasium, he studied
Theology at the Universities of Groningen and Utrecht, where he received
his theological degrees, and was ordained as a minister in the Dutch
Reformed Church in Holland.

For 20 years he served as a producer, a host and finally as the executive
director of the Television department of the Dutch Evangelische Omroep
(Evangelical Broadcasting Company). He was one of the pioneers who
established this broadcasting organisation in Holland, which is now part of
the State Broadcasting system of the Netherlands, as one of the larger
broadcasting companies. During these years he produced and/or hosted many
radio and television programs. These included a multi-media documentary
series on: How the Bible came to be; How the world came to be; How Israel
came to be and How Christianity came to be. He was also one of the pioneers
of the establishment of the Institute for Evangelical Higher Education in
the Netherlands, and the Christian School for Journalism.

Following a major brain-surgery (in which a very large brain tumour was
removed) he became full-time minister of a 2500 member church in Katwijk,
Holland, which he served for 7 years.

Rev. Willem J.J. Glashouwer served for over 12 years as the Chairman of the
Dutch organisation 'Christenen voor Israel'. In July 1999 he became the
full-time President of 'Christians for Israel International', with branches
in Holland, Belgium, the USA, Canada, Germany, the UK, Australia and New
Zealand, and connections with many other countries. In 2004 he was elected
as Chairman of the European Coalition for Israel (see www.ec4i.org).

Rev. Glashouwer has published several books, articles and Bible Studies on
Israel: WHY ISRAEL. Also a 500-page commentary in the format of a daily
devotional on the book of REVELATION, and a booklet on the Christian faith:
Living in Victory. The book WHY ISRAEL has been published in Dutch,
English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese (traditional form and
simplified form), Italian, Ukrainian and Russian. Editions other languages
are in preparation: Bahasa Indonesia, Hungarian, Polish, Arabic. A Teachers
Guide 'WHY ISRAEL: Israel in Biblical Perspective' and teaching materials
for Bible-study groups have been developed, and are now available in an 8-
episode video/DVD series, hosted by Rev. John Tweedie, chairman Christians
for Israel International, former chairman Christians for Israel - Canada. A
12-episode 28-minutes series 'JERUSALEM IN FOCUS', produced in Kenya and
hosted by Rev. Willem J. J. Glashouwer is also available through the
international office of Christians for Israel in Nijkerk - Holland. (More

children, of which the eldest daughter serves on the mission-field in
Central-Asia.
