St. Géry - Namur

Photo 1: Morning quietness...

No rain this morning. Always good for the start.

Photo 2: Field of sunflowers along the way

Photo 3: Château du domane d'Arthey with grape vines

Photo 4: The university city of Namur, my destination for the day... and no rain. I had a few short French talks today with people who wanted to know where I was going. I always say that when you walk with Jesus, he gives you the strength of the resurrection to complete the long journey.

Photo 5; Willy likes it when we are able to stay with someone at the end of a walking day. It is a touch home.

Blair and Dina Bonin were our very gracious hosts. They have been involved with Students for Christ on universities for years and are now transitioning the Europe leadership to a team of five individuals who are in national leadership in different Euopean countries. Pray with them for this important season of change. Blair and Dina also have a young man from the Congo living with them. He is leading the local group in Namur and now preparing for admissions to the University of Namur. He had been a student in the Ukraine when the war broke out, and then had to leave the country. It has not been an easy journey going through the process from refugee to student. Pray for Außer for God's will to be done in and through his life.
