For Faith in God we normally meet the same days/times as mutual, but both the YM and YW had other activities planned throughout the week so they we're going to meet. That meant it was a perfect day to do something a little different. I had the kids meet me at a forest in Tervuren, Belgium then we walked up to the the spot where 12 paths meet. This is the location that Elder Jeffrey R.
Holland dedicated the lands of Belgium and Luxembourg for the preaching
of the gospel on May 26, 1998.
We had a little spiritual though including reading part of the dedicatory prayer in which he said, "Now, as these nations move to become a powerful
force in a united Europe, please, Father in Heaven, may the Gospel of
Jesus Christ go forward in Belgium, Luxembourg, and this new European
community. As part of our prayer and our dedication here today, we ask
that thou would weld and link, inextricably bind the power of the gospel
to the economic and political influence that will move out of Belgium
into all the world. We think it not wrong, we think it not unfair to ask
that the gospel message be central to the new European community
because of our prayer today."
It was a good reminder of how important Brussels is as a city and how many people from all around the world come here to live and how many more are making decision that affect the entire world. I forgot to take a picture until we were about 500 yards away.
