Things are beginning to slow down here. I think we are all starting to think about returning to life in the States, so the thought of having to say good-bye is starting to sink in. A couple of updates:
City Talk went in a totally different direction than what we had planned for. We had expected people to show up at 7:30, listen to our little presentation, and have a Q&A session. We had six people show up total, but they all trickled in after 8pm or so. They were believers and all non-Belgians. It was really cool to have an opportunity to really talk to people here who have lived in this culture and gain some insight into how to really effectively establish a relationship with people here. I hope that AIA can establish a connection with a local church here and not have this be a one-time thing.
Tomorrow we will be traveling to Amsterdam to see Corrie Ten Boom's house and see her life. She was a Christian living in Amsterdam during WWII and helped Jews travel safely house to house, avoiding the Nazis and getting them to safety. She was betrayed by a neighbor and was sent, along with her entire family, to a concentration camp. She survived the ordeal but the rest of her family did not. While there, she shared the Gospel with other women and saw many come to know Christ.
I need to shower and go to bed. We have a very early morning and long day ahead.
