Psalm 96
"Oh sing to the Lord a new song
sing to the Lord, all the earth!
Sing to the Lord, bless His name;
tell of His salvation from day to day.
Declare His glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised!"

Praise the Lord with us over the fact that He is working throughout the earth bringing people to Himself! Praise the Lord for the remnant of believers in Belgium! Pray for them as they continue to live life and proclaim their faith to those around them, and pray for the Ms that are still there proclaiming Him to the nations. Pray for the folks we had the pleasure to get to know and share life with. Pray that those who know Him will continue to grow deeply in love with the Father, and for those who do not pray that those blinders will be removed and the reality of their desperate need of the Father's grace will be impossible to ignore. They are each precious to us and we want to see them again on earth and in eternity! Pray for revival and an outpouring of God's grace on the lost in Western Europe!
