Dear Pastor and Church,

          Juan Carlos came to us a few months ago. He and his wife, Isabelle, have been a big help and encouragement to us. He was saved in Paraguay with Baptist missionaries there but he had immigrated to Belgium 18 years ago. He never really found a church to be a part of and eventually quit going to church. After being diagnosed with cancer, God led him to us. Our church family have loved him and his family and they have just fit right in with us like a glove. Claire and Alexandra, his daughters, have grown up in Belgium and had never really been in church. They did not know the Bible stories or even the gospel. They have been coming about 6 months. The last Sunday in March, Jean had the privilege of leading these two precious girls to Jesus.
          Igor and Steve are two of our junior boys. They were saved at camp last year. Igor’s father came a few weeks ago and said that Igor wanted to be baptized. I had held both of these young boys in my arms when they were babies. Here we were years later baptizing them. Igor came out of the water rejoicing. Steve was a little quieter but he was just as excited. Steve waited until the curtains closed and then asked me if he could take the Lord’s Supper.
          Several years ago, another missionary, who was working with the refugee center not far from our building, gave me two Bibles in Farsi. I took them home and put them on a shelf waiting for a time when I would meet an Iranian. Years have passed without an Iranian on the horizon. A month ago my wife found the Bibles in my office and suggested we take them to church. I put them in a box and set them aside until the first Sunday in April. Last Sunday morning while looking for something else, I found the Bibles and put them with all the paraphernalia that goes to church. When we got to church, Jean laid the Bibles on the stairs and forgot them. During Sunday school, a lady walked into the service with one of the Bibles in her hand. She asked if she could please borrow it to read. She was a first time visitor and while taking the stairs into our services, she found a Bible in her language. It was a God moment. We do not know where this is leading but it sure is fun to watch God at work.
          Thank you for allowing us to work in Belgium. These precious people are all fruit to your account.

Larry Taylor
