As we began to outgrow our living room, the Lord opened the door to rent an abandoned Chrysler dealership. We are averaging 40 in attendance each week. Last year we reached our goal of making contact with every home in Brugge, leaving a brochure about our church and inviting them to come and visit. We also put our website address on it and over a 2 month period we had over 25,000 hits. This year's Evangelization project consists of an interactive DVD which will take you step by step down the Romans Road. We hope to plant yet another church within the next 2 years. Right now we are trying to disciple a handful of young men who will be future of this work.
