Me, my classmate Max, and his wife Fiona traveled to Belgium for the weekend for me and Max to speak at a Christian event. We each had several sessions each- Bible teaching, Q & A, youth events... as well as all the informal times of prayer, encouragement, etc. It was a full weekend, but we got time away one evening to celebrate my birthday in village within walking distance of our hotel- which itself was within walking distance of the event site in a nearby nature reserve:)
We took lots of trains.
Festival site- surrounded by beautiful forests...
Max and I speaking ...
Some of the youth's questions for Q & A
Preaching Sunday morning for our last session at the event- I received great feedback, the message apparently really resonating with people- praise the Lord!
Heading home to Oxford...
...but still time on the Eurostar (we went through the channel tunnel!) for a few more pastries from the Continent!
Praise the Lord for an effective weekend of ministry, building up the people of God. Thank you for your prayers!
