Our Missionfield this year

Belgium and Germany!

Belgium
Capital: Brussels
Official languages: dutch (south), french (north), german
Population: around 11.200.000

Belgium became independent from the Netherlands in 1830; it was occupied by Germany during World Wars I and II. It has prospered in the past half century as a modern, technologically advanced European state and member of NATO and the EU. Tensions between the Dutch-speaking Flemings of the north and the French-speaking Walloons of the south have led in recent years to constitutional amendments granting these regions formal recognition and autonomy.

Germany
Capital: Berlin
Official languages: german
Population: around 82.000.000

In eastern Germany, Communism and after that economic difficulties left deep marks in the spiritual lives of the people. The Christian faith is reduced to the margins of society. Many people don't know what the Gospel is all about. (ECM)

Ministry to young people is vital for a fading Church. The large majority of active Christians are over age 50, and only about 2% of the nation’s youth call upon Jesus as their Saviour. There is a new openness to Jesus as the spiritual immunization of quasi-Christianity fades. (OperationWorld)
