Recovery from a severe burn out

“For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.” (2 Cor 4:5)

I was doing for over 30 years all kind of leadership tasks in the church of Jesus, when a concurrence of events led to a complete mental crash. I entered unexpectedly and unwantedly a period of burn-out that would last several years.

I was relieved of my job as fulltime pastor and I was obliged to stop my involvement in Christian Flanders. I did not preach anywhere for over a year, although I had been doing this for years throughout the whole of Flanders. I even felt written off by God and fellow human beings. The civil society declared that I was incapable to work.

My God will meet all my needs ....

Hugo and Danny have at home a faïence stove which is more than 20 years old.
After all these years the door handle was completely worn out... but where do you get such a thing? Hugo went to a fire irons shop in Kalmthout and he put his question there. There they told him that this was not so simple... such an old stove and each stove has its own type of handle...
