TOUR EXPERT
Ayold Fanoy
Historian · Guide · Adventurer · Storyteller · Outdoor Enthusiast
Ayold lives in the Netherlands and has devoted much of his life to serving a Mennonite congregation in Haarlem. He enjoys adventure travel—including an annual snowshoe trek in Norway. “For me a Mennonite Heritage Tour is not just a heritage tour, but also a spiritual journey into the faith and life of our forbearers,” says Ayold. His tours help people explore what early Anabaptists discovered about Jesus, that would make them want give up their homesteads and their lives.
