Halfway through my 40 years with the B.E.M., I wrote an article exhorting God’s servants to seek after excellence in their ministry and in their preaching, so that the church of Jesus Christ might be as God wants it to be. Today at the ‘end of my career’ I would like to recall six points [...]

The theme for the year is taken from 2 Corinthians 8 v.7: “But just as you excel in everything-in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us-see that you also excel in this grace of giving.” The churches of Arlon and Virton are places of worship included in annual [...]

Bridges enable us to make contact, to make friends, and to communicate on different levels. The risen Christ has spanned the gulf by taking human form, by sharing the lives of His disciples even while He taught them, by dying and restoring our relationship with God. In the Antwerp suburb of Borgerhout, where nearly 36% [...]

Ruben and Priscilla Kamps are on a two-year placement at the mission post of Gistel under the guidance of Herman and Adrie Spaargaren.

“Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.” Philippians 1 v.12 There was really very little cause for rejoicing. Paul’s many adversaries had done all they could to silence him. With obstructions and false testimony, they had succeeded in discrediting him. Now he [...]

 From its 25 years of existence the fellowship already has a great history. In 1989 Klaus and Angela Kazda laid the first stone of what would become the MEB mission post in Eupen, but six years later, the death of Klaus and of another church member constituted a hard time of testing for the little [...]

 From 1988 on, on the initiative of two German missionary organisations, several evangelistic campaigns took place in the Eifel region. In 1993, the Schilp family arrived in Sankt Vith to join the little nucleus already there, five adults and eight children. Over the following years the emphasis was put upon evangelisation in different forms – [...]

 The fellowship in Sankt Vith has always looked to the future. In August 2008, Matthias and Vera Schilp were already envisaging the possibility of planting a daughter church in the north of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. By means of various contacts and many pastoral visits over the course of the last years some small [...]
