Overview
- Van der Valk in Eindhoven canceled the weekend events after safety and rule checks, and organizers moved the meetings to Praise Tilburg.
- Tilburg’s acting mayor barred Friday’s meeting because the church lacked an events permit, and police cleared the building.
- De Wal continued with prayers in the street outside the church and was arrested as protesters and churchgoers looked on.
- Local LGBTIQ+ groups staged protests, saying the so-called healing and deliverance services are harmful and stigmatizing.
- De Wal later said he was released and expects fines, while police had not confirmed his status; his Saturday outreach in Eindhoven drew roughly 100 people without major incidents.
