Dear Family and Friends,

“Car Dieu a tellement aime le monde..” Jean 3:16a

   “For God so loved the world”… that He desires that every tribe, tongue, and nation should hear about His son. In Bastogne, Belgian very few people know who Jesus is. This is a post Christian nation. Please pray that God gives us the timing and the words to say to our new friends here. It is a city in darkness and it truly needs the light of Christ. There are blinders of atheism and agnostic beliefs in this city. Only God’s love can pierce through these blinders.

    I have had more than one opportunity to share God with unbelievers this week who are my friends here. I feel so blessed and privileged to be able to tell others about Jesus in a real tangible way. I know that we are purposed here for such a time as this. Most seemed semi -involved. One of the women I talked to this week was deaf. I asked her what her beliefs were in God and she told me that she had none. She was neither atheist nor agnostic she just didn’t have any beliefs about God. Most likely she has not even been presented the gospel because she is deaf. Two other women, I talked to this week, have respect for those who honor God but they don’t serve Him themselves. One is an agnostic and the other stated to me that she had no real beliefs. Please pray for God to begin to loosen the blinders of assumptions, cynicism, and false doctrine that they believe. Pray that they begin to desire something deeper than the tangible. We are not here by happenstance.

I love Belgium, despite the general dampness, cold, and darkness! Yes, Bastogne is very cloudy now. But I am just thrilled out of my mind being here. We have already had our first small group Bible study on Ruth.  I am excited to see what God will do for us, this year. We are still learning French and mine is improving slowly but surely.  I know that God is giving me grace to learn the language. J 

Much Love and Many Blessings,
