A non-stop church service in the Netherlands — aimed at stopping an Armenian family from being deported — has become so popular it has issued tickets for the Christmas period to control numbers.

The service has been going around the clock since October 26 — more than 1,400 hours.


Under Dutch law, police officers are not permitted to enter a church while a religious service is taking place. So, church leaders hatched the idea of meeting non-stop to prevent the Tamrazyan’s from being removed from the country.

Since then, hundreds of pastors and volunteers have taken part in the service.

Axel Wicke from the Bethel church and community center in The Hague told CNN the service has become something of a “pilgrimage” for people across the Netherlands.

“We have had to account for so many people who want to visit during Christmas,” Wicke said, adding that two of the services are being streamed on Christmas eve and Christmas Day.

The Tamrazyans have lived in the Netherlands for almost nine years, but their claim for political asylum was rejected. The Dutch Minister for Migration, Mark Harbers, has so far refused to use his discretionary powers to intervene and allow them to stay. His office declined to specifically discuss the case when contacted by CNN.


Last week, the church said it was disappointed by the Minister’s inaction and vowed to continue the service.

“Just before Christmas, when we celebrate Gods humanity-loving and peaceful deeds, we feel strengthened not to forsake our responsibility for the Tamrazyan family,” Rev. Theo Hettema, chair of the Protestant Church The Hague, said in a statement.

He says the church provided an “extensive file with new information” to the Minister to help convince him of the family’s case.

21-year-old Hayarpi — the oldest daughter in the family of five — said on Twitter she has been encouraged by the full attendance at the church.


Speaking to Reuters earlier this month, she said: “I really don’t know what the outcome will be, but we hope we can stay here (in the Netherlands), because this is our home, this is where we belong. And my brother, my sister and I, we grew up in the Netherlands and we have been living here for almost nine years.”

This Christmas season, though, the family will spend time together holed up in a church that has offered them sanctuary, hoping and praying for a Christmas miracle.

But OP why you go back na? abi you no like better thing?

Lol, my uncle was a strong proponent of the ''no place like home'' mantra. Anytime he calls me, he pounds his ''brotherly'' advice to my ears that I should buy a land and build a house, and come and settle in Nigeria and live like a king lol. It was after I invited him over that he begins to beg how he can be legalized with his family.

Leave matter for martyrs my brother, Naija don cast. completely.

. My ribs oh!! What a story!!! Same thing happened to me . Always believed in Nigeria until i travelled to Dubai,South africa and USA(Orlando,New york and Houston)respectively.

Naa who make Chris Brown philosopher

They arent expensive though. Its only 300 dollars here in America. I dont know how many labs offer service in Nigeria but labs would just outsource to bigger company. Most people dont paternity test since they trust their wife or girlfriend to tell the truth.


As the philosopher and poet chris brown told us these hoes aint loyal.

The tourist

That's a compliment

Buhari is mentally weak, physically frail. He is only strong in negative traits like nepotism, tyranny, and dullness etc

chaii. Daris God oh!!

I am a RCCG member and i don't support this. Osibanjo hasn't finished disappointing us. Now we have another RCCG pastor/polithiefian to contend with . I don't think politics and religion should mix . Nigerian politics has not gotten to the level where pastors can serve without being corrupt.

I can see tension running very very high. Please no one should take laws into his or her hands because the dullard and his cohorts are looking for reasons to unleash terror in their desperating attempt to impeach Saraki.

Thank God the impeachment was not successful. Because it would have been a serious slap on our democracy.

So i guess APC lost both ways because they lost the minority leader position as a result of Akpabios resignation which PDP will replace soon with one of its members and the Senate President seat still belongs to PDP.

PDP teaching APC how to play politics.

. So i guess the list held by DSS is to allow only APC members in, so as to give leeway for the anticipated impeachment of Saraki.
And the dullard travelled to make it seem as though it was Osibanjo that spearheaded the whole process.What a shame .Worst government ever.

1 million dollars per senator working.

Preposterous and despicable

Get the BENJAMINS. And you go run from slay mamas. Because dey go too much for you.

Impeach first or get impeached.

Something to make me smile at last. There's still hope . Not every Nigerian is fraudulent and a cheat. We still have some very very good ones.

The last three years must have pushed Nigeria very high in this suicide hierarchy

A Governor and his Deputy from diff party




Is that feasible?

I think it is a sign that the Governor will join him later

Welcome back

I don't blame him for faking his death. That money is too much. About 71million naira and considering the fact that it is just 16 months imprisonment if caught (in a UK prison which is not too bad as compared with African prisons). I think it was a risk worth taking.

Damn. More Money fall on me oh!

Elections under Dr. Goodluck Jonathan cost N85b in 2011 and N93b respectively in 2015...

But under saint APC/Pa Buhari, N242b will be extended on 2019 election...

The fundamental question is "Who Gets What?

INEC............N189.207b
ONSA..........N4.2b
DSS.............N12.213b
NSCDC........N3.573b
NPF.............N30.541b
NIS..............N2.628b

A breakdown of the Nigerian Police proposal shows the following:

1. Feeding of dogs during the 2019 elections is N166,315 million.

2. N143,782 million is to be spent on medical and general expenses for the dogs.

3. N7,719.4 million is to be spent for feeding of 50 Horses belonging to the police.

*Who Is The Corruption In Chief?*

I went to orlando museum of arts & science,Florida,US 3 yrs ago. At the exhibition of African Arts section,i found a lot of artifacts from Nigeria and i was shocked. Wondering how they were able to accumulate so much of our culture and artifacts.

That's about 4.4 million naira not 20 million naira . Use the website www.xe.com and do the conversion 44038 AED(DHS) that was shown on the receipt.That gives u about 4.4 million.

Awesome innovations. Simplicity is always the best
