The beauty, wealth and rich history of the country of Belgium hide a land that has lost its Christian values

Belgium is a small and prosperous nation with stunning art history and over 60 World Heritage sites. But in Belgium, evangelical and gospel-centered churches are rare. 

Diamonds and lace, French fries and waffles, quaint houses and gothic cathedrals… sandwiched between France, Luxembourg, Germany and The Netherlands, Belgium is a small and prosperous nation with a proud heritage. Though small, Belgium plays host to both the European Union headquarters and NATO in its capital city, Brussels. 

Sharing the love of God practically

“What I love most about the music ministry here”, says Jack, a music producer who volunteers with the team, “is our focus on creating songs and videos that introduce people to the great questions answered by the Gospel. The workshops we conduct are my greatest joy, as we help groups of songwriters produce new works, which we record and distribute here in Belgium and across the world.”

Belgium has a population of over eleven and a half million people, represented by different linguistic and ethnic groups. Dutch, French and German are its three official languages but many Arabic and Turkish speakers have also formed communities here.

Jesus followers in Belgium

Belgium is a historically Catholic country, but nowadays, far from putting their trust in a God who saves. Instead, atheism is widespread as well as occultism and New Age philosophical lifestyles. Although over half of the population identify as Christian, only two thirds of them claim to believe in God.

As a Jesus follower, you can share love through relationships and in your personal testimonies, in how God has changed you and how He works in your life. We love to see people join us with a heart for Jesus and willingness to get involved with Belgium: its people, languages and both national and immigrant cultures.

Whether you come for a long or short time, or whether you pray, or invest in lives through financial support, join us in bringing good news of new life in one of the world’s most atheistic nations. There are many ways for you to share God’s love with the people of Belgium.
