Dr. Henk Poot was born in 1955. He is a prominent Protestant minister in
the Netherlands. He has written several books since in the 1990's. The
most popular is "Joseph, a Messianic History" (Jozef, Een Messiaanse
Geschiedenis). In this he details the life, sufferings, and final victory of
Joseph in the Old Testament then draws parallels with the life of Jesus
Christ. He also details many of the connections between Judaism and
Christianity.

He is Coordinator of the "Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem". Dr.
Poot is also one of the governing members of the Evangelical Working
Group and of the Christian Friends of Israeli Communities Holland.

His prominent ideas seem to be the following:
The Christian religion is in danger of deteriorating into paganism.
Evangelism is necessary to revitalize the Christian religion. Christianity is
an extension of Judaism. In the Second Coming, the Messiah will be the
King of Israel. Christians need to support Israel and the Jews because of
their shared heritage.

Jan Poot and his wife Ans are Baptist missionaries from the Netherlands
who have traveled to many countries. They are currently working in

enormous web site includes data about many thousands of Poots and their
