If you say 'Belgium' there is probably not a lot that comes to mind. Chocolates perhaps, and maybe the fact that Belgium, or more precisely Brussels, contains the headquarters of both the European Union and NATO. Belgian people are d1vided roughly into two groups: the Flemish, who relate most to the Dutch, and the Walloon, who are most closely tied to the French.
The country has a Catholic background, which is more strongly adhered to by the Flemish than the Walloon, but Belgium has only a tiny proportion of evangelical believers.
Present Work
There are ten full-time workers and one person who works part-time serving in Belgium, and there are now 25 assemblies. Those working there are involved in:
Evangelism
Pastoral care and Bible teaching, particularly in new churches where there is no recognised leadership, until they can function on their own. Some full-time workers are involved in equipping local believers so they can take over the work
Camp and youth work
Church planting work is planned to start soon
Christian radio and TV broadcasts every two weeks
Needs
More workers gifted in:
