Getting to know our Bible

"I would also like to get to know your Bible a little." is something M said in a recent e-mail to us. This past summer we designed a flyer that said this on it: "Unbelievable? Lie? or Truth? - Bible - Are there things today you can still trust in? Believing is possible" We then go on to challenge those who are willing to read the Bible that we will loan a Bible of them free of charge as long as they will read it, and when they are done with it we will take it back.

This past summer we had some great help for our outreach in the form of Shane and Rachel. They came for a week and distributed these flyers and went out on the streets of Ghent and asked people about faith in their city. We learned a lot about the people, here and started meaningful conversations. Some of their sowing fell on good soil and we received this request:

"When I see the obituaries in the paper it seems that 90% op people receive a Christian burial and once or twice a month they talk about an atheist. I would like to get to know your Bible a little. Sincerely, A. M."

So last Sunday I hopped on my bike with Isaak on the back and Gideon trailing close behind and we rode the few blocks to A.M.'s house to drop off the Bible. We were graciously welcomed, and the elderly couple gladly accepted the Bible. I have the fullest confidence in God's words, but please be praying for an open heart.
