LOVE EMBRACE REACH OUT
Welcome
Richard Klein – Speaker and Pastor with a Heart for God and People.
My name is Richard Klein, from Emmen, the Netherlands. I've had the privilege of speaking more than 300 times, both nationally and internationally, about the greatest treasure there is: the living God. It is my deep desire to share who He is, what He asks of us, and how we may encounter Him – especially in these remarkable times.
After completing studies in Law, Finance, and four years of Theology, I served as a pastor within the Baptist Church. In addition, I've spoken in dozens of churches. My message is always rooted in a sincere and careful exegesis of God's Word – clear, applicable, and filled with passion.
The core values I speak from are: Love – Embrace – Reach Out. Love as the foundation, embrace as an attitude, and an invitation to reach out – to others and to God.All speaking fees are fully used to support Stichting Way ToGo, through which I aim to serve a higher purpose.
Ecclesia
For each speaking engagement, I ask a fee of €120 in support of Stichting Way ToGo. For conferences and preaching outside the Netherlands, I kindly ask for travel expenses to be covered, as well as accommodation and meals for two people.
Statement of Faith
In my preaching, I aim to avoid human speculation about God. I follow the simple and clear Creed:
I believe in God the Father, the Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God — Jesus who died for us and rose again — and in the Holy Spirit, the power of God.
I believe that God's Word speaks to us with authority and is without error. I believe that God the Father forgives us through Christ and wants to give us eternal life. My faith is built on the foundation laid by the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone. When we put our trust in God, He will never fail us — for God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
Jesus said: unless we are born of water and the Spirit, we cannot enter the Kingdom of God.
For me, the most important expression of this faith is:
'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
From this foundation come my core values:
Love – as the foundation.
Embrace – as our posture.
Reach Out – as an invitation: to others, and to our Father God.
