Waterloo

Video: Sunday morning service at Redefined Church

Photo 1: Joel and Gail VanBriggle, my wonderful hosts for the weekend. It was great being a part of their life and ministry outreach these past two days. I do not have a photo from the church meeting, just this short video clip from the beginning of the service. Even though the streets around the church were blocked off because of the Grape Festival Parade, the room still filled up, more so than expected. Gail interviewed me and asked me to share from my pilgrim experiences as it related to following God's call one step at a time. She brought home the message with a look at Abraham and Joshua. It was a blessed service.

Photo 2: This is the church where General Wellington spent the night in prayer before the battle against Napoleon in Waterloo. Joel took this picture (as well as the next two) unbeknowst to me, here singing my pilgrim song and praying for the people of Belgium.

Photo 3: Their son Anthony is leading a student group in Brussels. He is feeling a tug in his heart to later start a group in Ghent to reach out to Dutch speaking students. In the photo I am praying for Anthony at a restaurant where we had lunch after the service. Pray that God would confirm the steps for him to take.

Photo 4: The young adults meet at a second location on Sunday evenings. Joel and I did a tag team session combining the story of the Good Samaritan with my pilgrim stories.

Photo 5: My favorite photo of Joel. This is what happens when you give your telephone to Joel and ask him to take a picture with it. I love his humor!
