Help from Canada with Street Evangelism

- Some Friends from Canada -

A few weeks ago we had the Canadian invasion lead by Eric Nyrose who came to Belgium years ago as an apprentice through Western Christian College. He brought a group 4 other students to come and experience ministry on the Belgian mission field. They served at Fall camp in the French part of Belgium, helped in Antwerp, in Maastricht and then came to Ghent to help us out.


- Asking Faith Questions In Ghent -

These guys were a blessing! They encouraged us in our work, and they helped me with a difficult missionary task. Going up to perfect strangers and doing some missionary research talking to people who speak a completely different language. They got a lot of cold shoulders, but also got some people willing to share. We went out for an afternoon and a morning. Stopping half way through each time to talk about reactions people were giving to the questions. Each person we came to we would ask 3 questions. Have you read the Bible, what parts? Have you been to church, why? And Do you think Faith has a part in todays society, what part? We got a lot of different answers and found some people who did believe, or who used to but had been turned off in one way or another. In many cases I was able to tell them about the church, and that they were welcome to contact us for further information.

A special thanks to the ABC campaign crew. You guys were troopers. You did things, my wife would never dream of doing. You guys streched your comfort zones for me, and that helped me in my work a great deal. Thank you!
