Ben Kroeske

Pastor Ben Kroeske is the founder and dean of the River Schools Netherlands. His journey of faith began in 2006 when he gave his life to Jesus Christ—a decision that completely transformed his life. Immediately after, he felt a strong desire to deepen his relationship with God and pursue ministry.

After earning his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Nijmegen, Pastor Ben answered the call to attend the River Bible Institute in Tampa, Florida. What was intended to be a one-year commitment turned into a life-changing experience. During his time in Tampa, he not only deepened his understanding of the Word but also met his wife, Jacky. Together, they served in ministry at The River at Tampa Bay Church for six years under the leadership of Dr. Rodney and Adonica Howard-Browne.

A step of faith

Moving to the United States was a significant leap of faith for Pastor Ben. During his first year at Bible college, he learned invaluable lessons about faith, obedience, and discerning God's voice. This period laid a strong foundation for his future ministry, igniting a deeper hunger for God and His purposes.
"When I came to know God in 2006, it changed my whole life."
—Pastor Ben
