It's been a fun filled day here in Belgium! We went to the Downs' church this morning, Grace International Baptist Church in Brugge. Brennan and I the opportunity to share our story and a little of our vision with the members. It was such a blessing to get to meet them and talk for a while.
One of the members told us about the history of the city and he also told us a little about the religious state of the area. He said that only about 10% of the population attend any type of church on a given Sunday. He said that many of the churches are closing and being sold to become restaurants and antique shops. It was really interesting to hear this perspective from from someone that has lived in this community his entire life.
After church we met some of the teens in the city centre and went on a photo scavenger hunt. It was so fun! We had a great time seeing a little of the city and getting to spend some time with the teens. Some of the things we searched for included petting a horse, taking a photo with a bathroom lady, and kissing a swan. We had to think outside the box on some of them, but it was a blast!
