We just received our five-year identity cards and are now beginning the process of applying for EU citizenship, which will then allow us to live anywhere in the EU without having to have a visa. Since we were so near this process, we decided to forgo the lengthy and renew-every-year French visa process and work to get EU citizenship. Then we’ll have dual USA & EU citizenship and be freer to live and minister without the confines of visas.

So, we rented a house in Belgium and make the three-hour commute each Saturday so we can be there for Sunday services, our life groups, and staff meeting on Mondays. We really pack a lot in when we’re there so it feels like a full week over three days!

When we’re back in Brussels, we do organizational and developmental work for the European Worship Institute (see below), as well as ‘Artrageous’, a new arts initiative we’re working on with Jim & Anne Mills of Creative Arts Europe, Bridge office tasks, and participate in a homeschool coop with Nick.
