Trip Across Europe DAY #2
Belgium sort of snuck up on us. We had just programmed our GPS to take us the quickest route from Sieberg, Germany to Calais, France. We hadn’t really paid attention as to what route it had drawn up. All of the sudden, we started seeing something other than German on road signs and for a little bit, I didn’t even know what country we were in. I actually stopped in to a gas station (which I couldn’t figure out how to use, because they only took some weird kind of debit card) and couldn’t figure out what they were speaking. Come to find out it was Flemish and that we were in Belgium. They didn’t stop us at any border like in Germany. Anyway, something that changed from Germany to Belgium was the scenery. All of the sudden there was grass on the shoulder of the road. The roads themselves were different and we went back to having speed limits. The cool thing is, Nick, the guy we stayed with in Germany, feels led to take a scouting trip to Belgium with a group from the Bible College, with the hopes that Calvary can someday plant a church in Belgium. We told him that our hope was to stop by YWAM in Brussels, probably on the way back through. With all of this in mind, we prayed as we drive through Belgium, both for this opportunity for Nick and Calvary Chapel, but also in general for revival in Europe. We prayed this way in all of the countries we have been passing through.
