Christian Slager
Director | Charity Hands Foundation
Christian Slager is happily married to Anneke and they have a daughter (2) and a foster daughter (20). He grew up in a missionary family in the Netherlands, and Anneke was born in a missionary family in Thailand. Christian has studied some history and finished a degree in Theology. He has been active as a coach in social work and Christian ministry, working with disabled people, drug and alcohol addicts, people with later acquired brain damage, etc.
In 2006, Christian co-founded the Charity Hands Foundation. Until 2017, they worked on a voluntary basis and supported projects focused on the poor. When the Van Mourik Group got involved in the foundation, the vision enlarged and the work started growing. Christian stepped in full-time in October 2018. He is passionate about discipleship and durable solutions and sees Foundations for Farming as a beautiful tool to this end. And yes, he does practice in his own garden!
As ministers of God, we can create favourable conditions for the miracle of transformation to happen in the lives of the poor. Sharing the Gospel of Christ’s love with them, modelling selfless giving, and inviting them to do the same.
