Derk and Niesiena Hendriks and their daughter, Elsina, were members of this association. The group rented houses where members would live in complete isolation from the general population together with the Jews hidden with them. The group provided food, bedding, fuel, false identity cards, books, and money for each house. The group also arranged medical care and, in some cases, hospitalization. Funding for all this came from the people in hiding if they had the wherewithal, from Sunday church collections, and partly from members of the group. Between September 1942 and March 1943, six big houses were rented for the purpose of hiding fugitives. One of the safe houses was located in Oldebroek, on the outskirts of an army training area. Another was established right in the corner of the camp, in a wooded area where military exercises were commonplace. Another large villa, called "Larikshof," just outside Epe, was acquired and run by Alida Wagenaar-voor de Wind, the non-Jewish wife of one of the people in hiding. Altogether, 45 people were sheltered at these houses, and more were hidden with individual members of the group in Epe. On October 10, 1944, shortly after the Battle of Arnhem, four Jewish men from the group were rounded up at Larikshof. They were sent to prison in Zwolle and on November 15 were transferred to Westerbork. Fortunately, the last trains had been dispatched to Poland and thus they survived the war. In the meantime, the women based at Larikshof, who had been in the woods at the time of the arrests, returned to the villa a week later and remained there until the end of the war. During the course of the war, this church group sheltered more than 100 Jews, including many children and elderly people. About half of those they hid survived the war. On September 13, 1982, Yad Vashem recognized Derk Hendriks, his wife, Niesiena Katriena Hendriks-Schoonbrood, and their daughter, Elsina Hendriks, as Righteous Among the Nations.
