About Lands for Jesus
About Lands for Jesus
We believe lasting fruit flows from healthy lives and teams walking together across generations.
Lands for Jesus is family
We are committed to building a healthy family culture and a strong spiritual DNA rooted in prayer, humility, integrity, and genuine relationships.
A heart for the unreached
We carry a heart for the unreached while intentionally investing in believers and leaders, trusting the Holy Spirit to bring lasting transformation and multiplication wherever the Gospel is lived and proclaimed.
The heart behind Lands for Jesus
At the heart of Lands for Jesus are people who have given their lives to Jesus and are passionate about making Him known. We are a team driven by faith, a heart for people and a desire to see lives transformed by the Gospel.
We believe that following Jesus means being willing to step out, take risks and trust Him with the unknown. Again and again, we choose to say yes to His leading, embrace new challenges and go wherever He opens the door. This is what shapes us: a genuine devotion to Jesus and a willingness to give Him everything.
Our journey has been filled with incredible moments, but also with challenges, questions and times that have stretched our faith. Through it all, we have experienced God's faithfulness. He has met us in the unexpected, given us strength when we felt weak and opened doors we could never have opened ourselves.
Jesus has allowed us to witness things we could never have imagined: lives changed, people encountering His love and entire communities hearing the Gospel. These experiences fuel our passion to keep going, to share what we have received and to encourage others to follow Jesus wholeheartedly.
We want to see people encounter Jesus, discover their purpose and become part of making Him known to the world.
Matheo & Lory
A personal testimony
"We've experienced God's faithfulness in more ways than we can count. He was there when our belongings were stolen in Africa, when Matheo fell ill with malaria, when our plane had to make an emergency landing after a tyre burst, when a visa was denied and we couldn't leave the country, and through the many moments of homesickness and missed family celebrations.
Following Jesus hasn't always been easy, but looking back, we can see His hand in every season. He has been faithful through it all – and that gives us the courage to keep saying yes to Him."
Surrender & holiness
Our focus is the Gospel. But we do not live Jesus on Sunday only; we live Him in every area of our lives, and we want to shape others in that. Jesus belongs in your work, in your family, in your neighbourhood – not only in a church service. When Christians put Jesus at the centre, their surroundings and their lifestyle change. The fruit of that is a heart that speaks about its relationship with Jesus in everyday life.
For us, evangelism is not preaching on the street on a Friday. It is following Jesus uncompromisingly with your whole life, following Him and His words, taking Him into your everyday life, and telling others about Him.
Current projects
At Lands for Jesus, we lead seasonal mission projects, pray continually for the nations, and organize initiatives in different parts of the world.
Suriname
In August 2026 we returned to Suriname, a country we love. As a team of 10, we held two evangelistic training camps for the local believers. We poured into them so they would have a new perspective and passion to share the Gospel wherever the Lord places them. At the end of the mission we held a big Gospel Festival on the east side of the country, in Moengo.
Zambia
We deeply love the African continent. This October we returned for a 4-night Gospel Festival, expecting thousands to come and receive salvation through Jesus Christ.
Suriname, end of the year
We are committed to the vision of reaching the entire population of Suriname. At the end of the year we return to South America to reach children and young people with the Gospel.
We preach Christ, equip believers, and multiply disciples.

Good questions
Lands for Jesus is a ministry led by Matheo and Hannah Lorraine Wentland, focused on preaching the Gospel through one-on-one evangelism and large-scale outreach events, while equipping believers and multiplying disciples. It is a spiritual family of relationships, local partnerships, and house churches.
Our vision is that people, cities, and every nation would encounter Jesus – through the clear proclamation of the Gospel and a lifestyle shaped by the Spirit of God, in holiness and surrender as we follow Jesus.
We run seasonal mission projects, with a heart for reaching entire nations and the unreached. In 2026 that included evangelistic training camps and a Gospel Festival in Suriname, and a 4-night Gospel Festival in Zambia.
You can support us through prayer or donation, one-time or recurring. Those who give so the Gospel can be preached share in the same reward as those who preach it (based on 1 Samuel 30:24).
