TRIP IS FULL
Belgium is currently one of few European countries with no Cru campus ministry. And until recently, there were no Cru staff present at all. But God is moving in this small, highly influential country! We will be a part of launching a brand new campus ministry here with the hopes of sending a long term team in the next year or two. Even though the country is full of incredibly beautiful, historic churches, most of them are now places of tourism rather than worship. Many Belgian students are atheist or agnostic, but seem to be growing in openness to talk about spiritual things.
It is an extremely diverse place with about half of the population originally from another country. This wave of immigrants has brought in a wide array of spiritual backgrounds. With many people from places like Morocco, Italy, Turkey, and various countries in Africa, the potential for global impact is tremendous. And there is an added global influence with Brussels as the home to the European Union and NATO.
We will spend most of our time on University campuses, engaging students in spiritual conversations. You will receive training in how to share your personal testimony, asking engaging questions, and communicating the gospel, all of which will benefit you in having spiritual conversations back at home. And experiencing all of this in the context of community and with leaders who want to help you grow in your relationship with God. We will also get plenty of time to explore this beautiful country and gain vision for God’s heart for Belgium and the world!
