Historical Gathering of Christians in Namur, Belgium

HISTORICAL GATHERING OF CHRISTIANS IN NAMUR, BELGIUM On Saturday, April 9th, 2016, some 2000 Evangelical believers participated in a rally called "Christians in Celebration" held in the city of Namur, the capital of Wallonia (French-speaking area of Belgium), featuring the ministry of Claude Houde, senior pastor of the Nouvelle Vie Church in Montreal, Québec, Canada. The purpose of this gathering was to affirm spiritual unity in Christ as reflected by the participation of leaders and believers from some 10 Evangelical denominations, including the French-speaking Assemblies of God and AGWM missionaries serving in Belgium. It was organized by an inter-denominational committee chaired by Rev. Daniel Costanza (PEF executive director), under the auspices of the regional pastoral associations.

In an atmosphere of joyful worship, the Spirit of God was at work in bringing healing to the Body of Christ in this part of Belgium. The day before, an outreach "ACTION NAMUR", coordinated by Rev. Kerby Rials (AGWM personnel in Belgium) took place in the heart of the city, mobilizing some 60 believers who engaged in various forms of evangelism. Local churches felt encouraged and all the participants expressed enthusiasm over the entire weekend. The believers are praying that the seeds planted throughout this weekend will usher in an abundant harvest of blessings on a country in need of spiritual revival.
