Please pray for the families affected by the commuter train crash in Brussels this week.

My daughter took these on a recent journey to Belgium. These were taken at the Grand Place (Fr) or Grote Markt (Fl).

People were gathering in the square in front of the above build to watch the light show reflecting on the building.

More new pictures are uploaded to my Flickr site.

Sorry about not updating on Sunday.We were so tired from flying all night and then staying up all day that we went to bed as soon as we could. We attended church on Sunday morning at Vineyard Brussels. There was a wonderful time of worship and then we were off to try and stay awake for the rest of the day so we would not fall asleep in the middle of the afternoon.

One really cool thing happened last evening (noontime for Middle Tennessee) was to have small group experience online from Belgium back to Smyrna, TN. Our small group meet yesterday afternoon and the other half of the small group is with me in Brussels. We talked about Sunday’s message, talked about our day here in Brussels and then those of us in Belgium prayed for our small group folks back in TN and the folks in Smyrna prayed for us in Belgium to have a productive trip. Incredible to see each other through Skype and then talk, pray, and encourage on another. Thank you Lord for technology.

Today, we have had team meetings (nothing new for Monday’s), meet with other M’s and prayer walked a neighborhood that could be a possible spot for our team to live. We purchased cell phones for our team to communicate with as we divide up and cover more territory. We went to a local gathering place for people (a mall) and divided into 3 teams and engaged locals in conversation about spiritual things so we could  begin to learn about their worldview and their ideas about spiritual topics. We ended our day with a tour of a huge cathedral that is basically a tourist spot.

Please pray for us as we IPOC, I pray, I observe, I connect. We are asking God to grow our vision, grow our passion, and break our hearts for the people of Brussels. He is at work in this country and we want to be used by Him for His glory.
