The ten Boom family took in Jewish refugees, hiding them from the Nazis. After Germany invaded the Netherlands in World War II, youth clubs were banned and Jews were persecuted. A watchmaker by trade, following in her father’s profession, she was part of the Dutch Reformed Church and served the people of her neighborhood and established a youth club. She knew the Lord and was one with the Lord.Ĭorrie ten Boom was born in the Netherlands in 1892. I felt that presence because Basilea Schlink walked in total transformation. It was empty, but the presence of God in that place was so glorious, so real, that it felt as if I had gone to heaven and was walking with the Lord in glory. It was like being in heaven inside that chapel. I went to the chapel, and I did not want to walk out. The presence of the Lord in that place was so powerful that I began to weep. I went to the place she founded, called Canaan, in Darmstadt, Germany. In 1947 she co-founded The Evangelical Sisterhood of Mary and served there until her death in 2001, sharing her faith with others and authoring 10 books. She decided instead of marrying, she would remain single and devote her life to Christ. After the war ended, Schlink understood the importance of repentance for the atrocities committed by her homeland.
A leader in the Student Christian Movement, she came under investigation by the Nazis during World War II for her stand in defense of the Jews. Her university studies included a thesis on sin consciousness and its effect on faith. Let me tell you a little about each of them.īasilea Schlink was born in Germany in 1904. All of them were women: Basilea Schlink, Corrie ten Boom and Kathryn Kuhlman. I have known of three people who were one with God.
