The very reason of the existence of the church is the simple fact that our God is on a mission and He invites His sons and daughters to be a part of it. Over these last years we’ve become increasingly passionate and enthusiastic about being a missional community. We’re inspired by the many faith heroes who’ve gone before us and who have furthered the Jesus Movement in unimaginable ways. Our hearts’ desire is for God to do it again in our generation. As we hear stories from other parts of the world, we yearn for His Kingdom to be manifested in every corner of Europe and sweep all across the Western world.
The road ahead is full of obstacles, questions, difficulties and undoubtedly also tremendous revelations, but we are headed down this path and we signed up for the rest of our lives. Alan Hirsch’ writings have been absolutely crucial in helping us rediscover our mission-pursuing, disciple-making, risk-taking, offense-playing, leader-training and Jesus-reigning identity. We are thankful that he is not only taking the time, but also his friend and colleague Rich Robinson, to come and further equip us on Saturday 16th of November! We’d be honored to share this day with you and hope to see you there!

Lunch, coffee, snacks and fruit will be provided, however, for practical reasons, we are unable to provide dinner. We have attached a list of restaurants and snackbars where you can go to during the 2,5h dinner break time. If you make plans to dine with a larger group, we recommend you make reservations beforehand in your preferred venue.
Due to the international character of this event, we want to point out that there will be no translation during the sessions. Alan and Rich are aware that many of us are not native English speakers and will take this into account during their teaching.
We are thankful for the church of Londerzeel for opening their church building for us. There are not too many parking spaces nearby, so please take into account the possibility of a 5-10 minute walk when you arrive in the morning. From 19h onwards, you can park your car on the grounds of the Londerzeel Colruyt/Aldi parking. We’ve made arrangements with the management that they will keep open this parking space till the next morning, so you are safe to park there. However, for the first part of the day, they’ve asked us to not park our cars there as Saturdays are very busy and they want to offer their clients the parking space they need to do their groceries.
