‘His word burns in my heart like a fire. It’s like a fire in my bones!’

Project of Love was founded by Dutch professional singer-songwriter Xander Stok, whose life was radically transformed by a personal encounter with God.

“I used to be a singer/guitarist in a rockband. Suffered from severe depression for over 20 years. I lived a self-destructive, suicidal lifestyle, constantly searching for something to fill the emptiness inside. Addictions became my escape, but I never truly felt at home in this world.

Then everything changed. I had a powerful encounter with my amazingly good Father. He took me out of the pit, gave me new life, a mission, and here I am.

In January 2021, while reading the book of Isaiah, I heard a still, small voice say: ‘Grab your guitar and sing what you're reading...’ I did, and out came a beautiful song. In almost 3 weeks' time I had the book of Isaiah put to music.

Three months after that I had a dream in which Jesus told me: "This is our Project of Love. Together we will show the heart of the Father to the world." 

I dropped everything and now devote myself full-time to putting the Bible to music.

Project of Love was born."
