Dear friends,

It's summer time! Before you leave on holidays, we send you our newest MOOVE to bring along with you. Have you noticed that we are already at the fifth issue of our brand new communication tool? We hope you've enjoyed this format and look forward to seeing you in the coming fall to share even more ideas. Enjoy your summer!

This MOOVE is all about COMMUNITY:

the genesis of a new Community in Hamme
Camp Limauges, a tool of community life
#integration as a forestaste of any community project
a new Tea Time episode about #community

Thank you for journeying with us, following Jesus together!

FULL TANK FOR YOUR JOURNEY

UNVEILING JESUS

There is a thirst for justice, for kindness, for love which is expressed in the many outbursts of solidarity, mutual aid, dedication that light up the darkness of the world. The disciples of Jesus, who have fully welcomed the new life in Christ, who are in the process of restoring this original image of God, should participate all the more in these movements.

By serving at the heart of the world in order, there, to reflect Jesus, the perfect expression of the image of God, his disciples will bring this source of resonance closer to their contemporaries. Without even speaking, kindness and love towards disinterested people will produce reactions around them which will reflect either research or rebellion.

We cannot stress enough the importance of investing in personal relationships, of INTEGRATION into the life of others. Jesus insists: "Stay in this house" and "do not go from house to house" (v.7). This is how we can activate the resonance and find "the person of peace", before revealing the message of Jesus. God is at work around us, He is going in search of the lost. There are many who respond "secretly" to his calls, from the "men of peace", the "many people” who already belong to the Lord (Acts 18:10) to the people like Zacchaeus who are seeking Jesus (Luke 19:3).

INTERVIEW | VIANOVA Hamme

MOOVE met with Joas, Silas and Lisa to discuss not only the launch of a new Community in Hamme, but first and foremost to share about their discovery of integration.

FOCUS | Camp Limauges

In Belgium everybody knows Camp Limauges. Thousands of children, teenagers and adults spend each year a few days (or weeks) at the Camp and grow in their relationship with the Lord.

VIANOVA does not organise camps, but owns the premices. At the end of 2019, it passed on the management to the Dutch organisation 'De Betteld'... and then came Covid-19. Unfortunate coincidence? Maybe, but 'De Betteld' took the opportunity to refresh the place and with summer time come new campers of all ages.

E412 trainings are designed to "equip disciples for service" (Ephesians 4:12). We offer modular and tailor-made trainings enabling each disciple to chart his or her own training course.

During our first season (2021-2022) we organised monthly one-day trainings on various topics. A pretty good start! But we won't stop there. We'll be back in September with loads of new ideas.

Until then, click on the video to get an overview of our trainings. If you are interested, click on the button below to subscribe to the E412 newsletter and you will receive all the information in due time.

IN MEMORIAM | Lia Crezée-Verschoor

04/07/1955 - 18/05/2022

On 10th May, Lia, wife of Corneel, suffered a cardiac arrest. She remained in a coma and passed away on 18th May. Totally unexpectedly Corneel, his children and grandchildren have to go on without his wife, their mother and grandmother.

Together with Corneel, Lia had been actively involved in planting churches in Lokeren (1980 - 1991) and also in Hoogstraten (1991 - 2017) within our Mission. During her period in Hoogstraten (when the children had left home) she was also involved for many years as a teacher in the Protestant/Evangelical religious education in their area. Since last year she was officially retired. Lia kept a low profile in their ministry, but she was felt everywhere and her influence was great. She was a woman who radiated peace and love, a mother who imparted wisdom to her children.

On 27th May we said goodbye to Lia in Baarle-Nassau (NL) with several hundred relatives, friends and acquaintances in a special thanksgiving celebration and with impressive testimonies about her from all her children and from Corneel. We remember his words: "She was my princess..." Her funeral followed, at the nature cemetery in Alphen (NL).

Their and also our consolation is that Lia may now be with her Lord and already share in the great joy to be found before His face. We pray for Corneel, his children and grandchildren, for the strength, comfort and nearness of the Lord!
