Fasting days: a unique event
From 24 to 26 January we had again a few fasting days, this time in “de Boerekreek” in St.-Jan-in-Eremo (East-Flanders). It was the first time we went to this location and that always gives some extra tension. Will the rooms be ok? Will it be warm enough over there? Last year in the Ardennes it was very cold the first day since the heating was not up in time…
We were warmly welcomed by the staff of “de Boerekreek” and we got the restaurant for our meetings. The rooms were very clean and all rooms had a separate bathroom with a shower and a toilet and it was nicely warm everywhere, which is very nice when fasting a few days.
We enjoyed times of marvelous worship, powerful studies, many moments of silences – In which we could soak or go for a walk in the beautiful nature surrounding the center – and times of prayer for each other, the country, our churches and many other subjects.
As Tamara put it nicely: “We have been fed very well once again!”
15 years doom and gloom dissipated like morning mist and the sun broke through
Anne, who came to see us at wits end, sent the following testimony:
“After my children were born, I noticed my state of mind worsened year after year. Now I know I had postnatal depressions after each childbirth, but at the time I had never heard about it.

The local church: Hope for the future !
Today’s society hasn’t become easier. Notwithstanding new communication techniques such as SMS, chatting, e-mail, communicating and relating to one another is becoming increasingly difficult. A great many people live terribly lonely lives.
The number of depressions is on the rise, psychiatric wards were never more crowded than today… Inner rest is something very few people still know or experience. Even the advancement of medical science cannot banish suffering and death from our lives. Each time there is a new therapy, some new disease turns up…
For many affections science has no answer.
When people lose hope, they don’t want to live any longer.
Faith starts with hope. The local church is potentially the most influential power on planet earth. Church is given by God to be a place of salvation, liberation, healing and recovery… a place where people love one another in spite of their shortcomings and where they can become truly happy.
Our God is a God of hope… for Him, nothing is impossible
What do we believe?
God is greater, better and closer than we can imagine.
The Bible is Gods perfect guide for life.
Jesus is God showing Himself to us.
Trough the Holy Spirit God lives in and trough us.
Nothing of the earth or the universe is by accident. God has made it all.
We people do enough things against Gods will. We call that "sin" and because of that it is impossible to come to God.
Because God wants to have a relation with us, Jesus arranged for it that we cannot be guilty any more by willingly taking our penalty. Therefore we now can come to God.
God promise us eternal live if we believe in Jesus. The choice is ours whether we want it or not.
Heaven and hell are real. Our choice determines our destination.
The church has the task to serve people just as Jesus did.
