<p>Dominee Ottho Gerhard Heldring (1804-1876) ontdekte in 1839 op een van zijn tochten over de Veluwe het dorpje Hoenderloo. De arme hutbewoners hadden geen water, geen school en geen kerk. Geïnspireerd door Jesaja 35 ‘de dorre vlakte zal bloeien’ realiseerde hij in 1841 een put en in 1845 een school. In 1858 werd deze kerk in gebruik genomen.

On one of his journeys through the Veluwe (an rural area in the midst of The Netherlands) Dutch Referend Ottho Heldring passed in 1839 a settlement called Hoenderloo and was shocked noticing there was no water, no school, no church no nothing. Inspired by Jesaja 35 ‘the desert and the parched land will be glad’ he realised in 1841 a well and in 1845 a school. This church came in 1858.
