History
of the Assemblies of God in Belgium
400 years of spiritual darkness has
gripped Belgium after 600 reformation churches were destroyed during
the Spanish Inquisition. The great majority of the population is
culturally Catholic rather than Christian. The Catholic Church faces
declining attendance, waning influence, empty seminaries and an
invasion of New Age thinking. The church has declared Belgium a
mission field.
The Assemblies of God is doing their
part to win souls for the Lord. Local church programs include WomenÕs
Ministries, Missionettes, Royal Rangers, and youth ministries. The
Revivaltime radio broadcast airs weekly and has an enthusiastic
audience. Ministers are trained at the Assemblies of God Bible Institute,
which offers both Spanish-and English-language classes. ICI evangelism
and discipleship courses are used in many local churches.
