Stay informed about our journey as we promote Gospel awareness and engage in Christian outreach in Belgium, addressing the challenges of secularism in Europe and providing spiritual training along the way!
It's not all waffles, chocolates, & fries!
THE NEED
With only 1.32% of indigenous populations in Western Europe having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and 1 Evangelical church for every 150,000 people, there is a greater opportunity to encounter a Christian in Iran than in Western Europe. In Belgium, the average Assembly of God church hosts only 15 people, and although 64% of the population claims to be Catholic, only 0.001% actually attend church. This trend of secularism in Europe has left society feeling hopeless, contributing to ever-increasing rates of suicide, institutionalization due to depression, alcoholism, and drug abuse, as individuals often find themselves with only their own beliefs to rely on. There is a pressing need for Christian outreach and spiritual training to promote Gospel awareness and address these growing issues.
THE HOPE
The hope is always Jesus, and the book of Romans asks us, how will they hear without a preacher? Continental Theological Seminary is sending out students across Europe and even the world, including Belgium, to enhance Christian outreach. Students from twenty-six nations study here, and the school is preparing to double its enrollment. Moreover, it boasts an evolving online program and five extension sites in four countries, with a rising demand to establish at least ten more sites in ten other nations. We have been called to partner in this endeavor to provide spiritual training for pastors and church planters across Europe, particularly in response to the harvest that has been ripened by the Covid season amidst growing secularism in Europe. The indigenous European churches are ready to engage their communities, but they need the necessary training and preparation to effectively promote Gospel awareness.
BECOMING A PART OF THE SOLUTION
BECOMING A PART OF THE SOLUTION
We can all apply our Savior’s teachings to lose ourselves to our own comforts and wants for the sake of spreading the Gospel awareness to the lost, especially in places like Belgium where secularism in Europe is on the rise.
Lose Yourself to surrender time to pray. It is a spiritual battle for the nations of Europe, and intercession is needed.
Lose Yourself to some of the comforts of life, such as cutting back on a couple of coffees each week or skipping a night at the movies, to support workers who are going to the whitened harvest of souls in Europe.
Lose Yourself and GO! Explore opportunities at www.agwm.org for Christian outreach and how you can give yourself to serve in Europe, while also engaging in spiritual training.
TRAINING WORKERS FOR A READY HARVEST!
When people think of Belgium, they often envision waffles, fries, chocolate, bicycles, and the European Union. This wealthy nation is rich in diversity and beauty; however, like many countries in Europe, Belgium has become increasingly influenced by secularism. Unfortunately, this shift has led to a decline in religious belief among the indigenous Europeans, resulting in a lack of Christian outreach. There is now a significant opposition to the spiritual truth that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. As a consequence, generations have grown up without Gospel awareness, living their lives without ever encountering a true Christian or having access to the hope offered by the Gospel due to the scarcity of believers around them. The need for spiritual training and engagement has never been more urgent in Belgium and beyond.
