Next Saturday, 14 December, an initiative will take place especially for prayer leaders and those in charge of prayer initiatives: ‘Let’s Pray’. To seek God together, share, consult, and pray and worship together. From 9.30 am to 4 pm in Schaerbeek, in the new prayer chapel, Rue de Cologne 35 (800 m from the North Station). Language will be English, but translation can be provided if needed. For lunch, everyone will bring something. Sign up at healingbelgium@gmail.com
A special event will take place in Brussels on 15-16 November: Convocation24 is an initiative of a very diverse team and wants to bring together Christians from all of Europe. It has grown out of several prophetic words (including by Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda, and Paul Cain) that God wants and will heal His Church in Europe! There is an urgent need for unity, in humility with all denominations together, to cry out to God together for our country and continent. Everything will take place in a unique location, the Basilica of Koekelberg. The mornings and afternoons are for leaders only. Evenings are open for all.
Full details can be found on website www.HealYourChurch.eu
On the YouTube channel ‘Heal Your Church’ you can hear the detailed explanation of the prophetic words.
You can register at www.HealYourChurch.eu/register
Please actively join together with us. This is a joint venture. The C24 Team greets you with great expectation: Rik Van Neste (BE), Ian Rossol (UK), Frank Ernst (BE), Maldo Amadar (BE), Sven Goetz (DE), Paul Rooda (BE). Counsel: David Vandeput (BE, president Fed. Synod), Dr. Khaled Leon MD (EG)
As we wrote previously, there is a Chapel in Schaerbeek that has been donated for the work of God. The vision for this Chapel is first and foremost to be a house of prayer and worship for many churches and groups in Brussels and Belgium: a place where we may come and be refreshed in God’s presence. We therefore also want to solemnly dedicate it, and there is no better way to do this than by holding an open day of prayer. On Saturday 28 September, there will be 12 hours of continuous prayer and worship, from 9am to 9pm: led by different groups from our country, in three languages and a diversity of styles. You are free to come for the whole day, or a few hours.
The central theme is: ‘Incense on the altar’
You can see the schedule of who leads which slot here:

If you would like to join us to lead an hour, contact pray4belgium@scarlet.be.
The address is: Rue de Cologne 35 in Schaarbeek, 800 metres from the North Station.
Further prayer for the chapel is also welcome: to manage the building well, for help, manpower and income for running costs. In any case, everyone is very welcome! It is an ideal opportunity to take a look at the chapel, but above all to participate in a chain of prayer where we want to build an altar for our God.
There is very special news for the prayer movement in our country, actually a miracle from God: we got a chapel in Schaerbeek! Completely free of charge! A bit of explanation: ‘we’ is the house church ‘Ammi Brussels’ of which I myself may be part. The chapel is at 35 rue Cologne, 800 metres from the North Station. The generous donor is the ‘Catholic Apostolic Church’, a 19th-century Protestant denomination that had stopped holding its own services. It is in good condition, can hold 80-90 people, and also has a small and semi-large auxiliary room (25-30 people). We want to use it first and foremost as a house of prayer and worship, open to other churches or prayer groups. So that it may be a place where we can come into God’s presence and peace and be refreshed, but also a place of meeting other Christians. Should you be interested, contact us to agree when you would schedule something and to collect the key.
The second 24h prayer meeting for the elections will be held in Brussels on 7-8 June (7pm – 7pm), led by various churches, organisations and prayer leaders: from Friday 7 June 7pm, to Saturday 8 June 7pm – at Grand-Place 28, Brussels
You are free to come for one hour or one slot or several. Some slots will be led in Dutch, others in French, but everything will be translated into English. You are also invited to join the fast. The schedule of themes, prayer leaders and languages can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/156ChK4-f5GVkajWmL-jwD16OCyHNKdZfaWbYfOoVzXU/edit#gid=2134370968

Pray4belgium, as always in elections, has compiled a list of 25 very varied prayer topics: these are provided to pray through for eight days, from 2-9 June (3 per day) in prayer groups or in your personal prayer time. But you can of course pray through these on other days and at other times, even now! Feel free to forward them or share them on social media wherever you like. Please download them here. They are also available in Dutch and French.

These months there are quite a few important prayer initiatives taking place, and that is of course good: there are also very important things at stake. We are living in turbulent times and it seems that no one knows yet who is controlling or directing the evolutions of our world. Fortunately, we may know that our God is above all this earthly upheaval, even above world powers, international power blocs and elections. Can we influence global events? Never underestimate the power of faithful prayer!
An initiative by several networks of leaders…
International ministers and prophetic leaders worldwide and also leaders from Belgium, are calling with great urgency to a more intense level of prayer and fasting: we live in a time of unprecedented crises, even a war in our backyard. The world – and the Church – is being shaken violently: the spiritual battle for God’s Kingdom is intensifying. God wants in this season to bring revival to Belgium. And Belgium has been given an important role in the plan for revival and reformation in Europe. That is why it is crucial that Christians stand in unity, surpass the walls of our denominations and together take our prayer to a new level. Unity is incredibly important in the church as Jesus also prayed in John 17:20-23. This unity comes through our communion with the Father himself and is centered around Jesus as His only begotten son and the only way to God.
There is a long term strategy and a short term action plan due to the urgency:
As of September 1st, this should be fully operational until the end of 2022, after that an evaluation will follow in order to continue.
Plan as of now an hour of prayer and worship in your church or prayer group so that the atmosphere will change over Belgium and Europe and also for the war situation and its consequences. If your heart is burning and your reaction is ‘Yes! I commit to this’ — let us know what time you are willing to pray so that we can give you a slot in the 24/7 prayer chain. We will send you more details, ideas and practical instructions later.

On 7 May at 2.30 pm with Ensemble pour l’Europe let’s celebrate Europe Day on the theme: “Europe: Artisans of Peace” Reconciliation and Solidarity.
Four approaches to solidarity will be presented through short videos made by our movements.
We will be privileged to welcome Pastor Walter Kriechbaum from Munich and his wife Anne-Marie from the international YMCA movement who will share with us some years of experiences of reconciliation undertaken in Germany, Poland, and Ukraine, with a view to healing the wounds of the Second World War. They will also give short teaching based on Scripture and faith in Christ, followed by a time of prayer.
You are all welcome to attend the event organised jointly with Together for Europe at the Chapel for Europe (Rue Van Maerlant, 22-24 – 1040 Brussels).
A live webinar will give the opportunity to intervene remotely during the exchange time that will follow.
