Simply stated, Europe is lost. As the number of Europeans who adopt a postmodern worldview increases, more and more people begin to question the existence of an absolute truth. As a result, fewer people are participating in religion and more and more Belgian churches sit relatively empty. They remain as symbols of past traditions instead of a present and vibrant faith. As a result, there is an entire generation of young people in Belgium who remain relatively un-reached by the Gospel. This is why we have chosen to go to Belgium and why we are all called to share our faith-- so that everyone has the opportunity to know God the way that we do. Our goal is not to fill church pews, but to fill hearts and minds with the knowledge of God and to transform the nation of Belgium for the Kingdom.We have spent the past month traveling throughout Virginia and Indiana visiting family, friends, and the churches that have all had a role in shaping the faith that we have today. The purpose of our trip was to thank them for the impact that they have had in our lives and to ask them to continue supporting us as we move forward on this path that God has led us to. We were blessed to share with them the vision for Belgium and what we believe is God's heart for all of us. We were also encouraged by the excitment that was returned to us to share in our ministry through prayers and new financial supporters.
As a result of our trip, we are just shy of 50% of our monthly support being pledged. In order to accomplish our goal to be in Belgium by the end of September, we need to develop $3,500 in new monthly supporters. While this may seem overwhelming, it breaks down to only 35 partners at $100 per month or 100 partners at $35 per month and will allow many people to be an ongoing part of the ministry in Belgium. Would you prayerfully consider joining with us in financial support of any amount on a monthly basis?
