To all our dear friends, a very happy and healthy New Year with much of God’s presence, peace, and power. And, much hope for the future, for our God is eternal and unchanging, and that is good to know in an ever-changing world. Hope in a hopeless world because God is the rock of our salvation, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, will we not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling.” Psalm 46:1-3. Blessings to all.

“For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Yes, we rejoice because a Savior is born, but we must not forget that He is Christ the Lord. We accept Him as our Savior, but do we submit to Him as Lord? We wish all our friends a wonderful Christmas recognizing and worshipping the Lord Jesus, and thus experiencing His power and peace.

50 jaar geleden, op 23 december, 1971 kwamen wij in België aan en gingen wij wonen in Edegem, Antwerpen. Op 2 april 1972 ontstond de eerste Christengemeenten in onze woonkamer daar. Er is veel gebeurd in die 50 jaar, geprezen zij de Heer.
