Belgium - SHAPE & NSA

Hello again!
I have moved on from my time in Belgium working with chaplains at the Supreme Headquarters of Allied Powers in Europe (SHAPE) in Moons, Belgium and the NATO Support Activities (NSA) group in Brussels. Belgium - as far as weather - had its fare share of dreariness - but the opportunities for ministry were great. Some of the activities included - Youth & family Concerts, Men's Groups - teaching and music, WOC (women of the Chapel), Chapel services, and House Concerts.

I had an opportunity to reconnect with some chaplains I had been with before - Ch Strong and Ch Druckenmiller. I had worked with both of them before in other countries. It was great to also see people at these concerts that I had met before and now they are starting to sing along and know the words to my songs - and even - on occasion - make a specific request.

There have been many good times of fellowship with fellow brothers and sisters. God is faithful to bring that into my life at every turn. The family of God is a beautiful thing to experience on a world-wide level. It is always incredible to build such good relationships on the unshakeable foundation of Christ and truly enter into one another's lives.

I was able to take a day and travel to one of my favorite cities in the world - Brugge, Belgium. I suppose one of my reasons for it being a favorite is the amazing chocolate that is made there by families from generation to generation.

There are new posts published on Azimuth for your blogging enjoyments. Please take some time to check them out and pass them on to friends - Taming the Wild Heart and Baggage.

Thank you so much for your prayer and support. I look forward to seeing many of you back home soon or on the road somewhere!

Pack light and don't forget your passport!
