1998	J.J. Elbertse & Zn.		transfer/relocate

In 1978, Verschueren placed a positive in the upper church hall of the community center Meerzicht in Zoetermeer. Due to the demolition of Meerzicht, the organ was sold in 1998 and transferred by the Elbertse company to the Roman Catholic Genesarethkerk. This church was built in 1990 after a design by the architects Engelkes & Drayer. There was a smaller organ by Verschueren from the 1960s, which has been transferred to the Tabor Church.
The Genesareth Church has not been used for weekly celebrations for several years. There are plans to convert the building into a diaconal center in 2023.
