Dear Horizon friends,
God is doing some wonderful things in Antwerp, Belgium! I am amazed and humbled at the same time if I think about what happened during the last 10 months. Glory be to God! 
Our Day-Care (first official Christian day-care in the nation) grows in size and numbers. We have a team of 7 people at the moment and up to 20 children in our day-care on a daily base. Our doors are open 5-days a week, 11 hours a day.
Why is a Day-Care important? Don’t neglect the "law of legacy"!
During the middle ages, a nation was once defeated by an invasion coming from the north. In this Nordic culture they valued the "care of the children" and "educational-tasks" as very low and therefore gave it to women, slaves and defeated enemies. It is a historical fact that within only 3 generations, the conquerors progressively left the land and the defeated nation won back its territory simply by laying their values, priorities and culture in the hearts of the next generation.
I am absolutely convinced that we can make a major impact on the nation of Belgium by building and providing "Christian day-care centres"! We train spirit-filled church-members and build teams, to do work with children and we open our doors to the local community. Although we may not see everyone becoming a Christian in the next 12 months, my conviction is that we will see great fruits in 10, 15 or 20 years from now because the word of God is effective and the Holy Spirit will do His work in His time!
Please pray with us!
We have only 2 children coming out of a Christian family context at the moment. All the other children and families are non-believers or even Muslims who hear the gospel of Jesus Christ for the very first time in their lives!
We can provide 18 places and we have more than 90 families on our "waiting-list". The Lord blessed us with favour in the city and our work is 100% recognised by the government! 
That’s why we pray for a second building to open another day-care next year. We are already working on the infra-structure and we are preparing our team to teach new potential workers to set the course for a bigger vision.
Please pray with us for finances, new motivated workers, a new building and most of all the protection, guidance and blessing of our Lord Jesus.
May the influence of the gospel be restored and the name of our Lord Jesus Christ be glorified in Belgium!
