Since a few years pastor Evelyne Wireko organises this beautiful initiative to pray together for revival in Belgium: Friday and Saturday 19-20 September in Antwerp: Friday: 6 PM – 10 PM & Saturday: 10 AM – 5 PM. Location: Bischoppenhoflaan 383, 2100 Deurne. Be there and join the prayers!
For several years now, there have been various global initiatives to unite prayer internationally. One of these is the Worldwide Glory Network Alliance (WGNA), led by Pastor Callie Liew from Singapore. WGNA is a global movement of believers, pastors and intercessors who pray together in many countries. Every week, people from different parts of the world take the time to pray for revival, families, churches and countries. Pastor Callie has been trying for several years to involve Belgium in this, so that we too can do our part and pray for our country, our continent and the world – and there are already a few! We don’t need to explain to you that prayer is especially needed in these hectic times. And Belgium is a crucial country in Europe!
How does it work? You can choose to pray for 1 hour, 2 hours or 3 hours each week – whatever suits you best. Each week, you will receive the 1/2/3 hour prayer document with all the information and prayer topics via WhatsApp. Currently, it is available in French or English.
There is an attached timetable with all the different prayer times, so you know which times are available.
You can watch the full explanation in this video:
Or visit the website: www.wgnalliance.com
If you would like to participate or have any questions, you can contact Ps. Callie directly via WhatsApp: +65 9845 9688. Highly recommended!
Like last year (28 September), we plan to have a second ‘open day of prayer’ at the new Chapel in Schaerbeek: on 21 June! This Chapel was then opened as a house of prayer and worship, available to all prayer groups or churches in Brussels and Belgium. We experience a special presence of God in this Chapel, that it is a place where you can get close to the Father and hear His voice. And we pray that it may be a place of encounter and unity, used by many churches and Christians.
So again, we plan to have 12 hours of non-stop prayer and worship, led by 12 different prayer leaders, in Dutch, French and English: from 9am to 9pm. The theme is ‘Watchmen on the wall’: you are very welcome, for a short or longer time. Standing together in the breach for our country and for God’s church is much needed, and we experience that we are always blessed by it ourselves.
The address is Rue de Cologne 35, 1030 Schaarbeek. It is easily accessible by public transport: 800 m from the North Station.

Next Saturday, 14 December, an initiative will take place especially for prayer leaders and those in charge of prayer initiatives: ‘Let’s Pray’. To seek God together, share, consult, and pray and worship together. From 9.30 am to 4 pm in Schaerbeek, in the new prayer chapel, Rue de Cologne 35 (800 m from the North Station). Language will be English, but translation can be provided if needed. For lunch, everyone will bring something. Sign up at healingbelgium@gmail.com
A special event will take place in Brussels on 15-16 November: Convocation24 is an initiative of a very diverse team and wants to bring together Christians from all of Europe. It has grown out of several prophetic words (including by Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda, and Paul Cain) that God wants and will heal His Church in Europe! There is an urgent need for unity, in humility with all denominations together, to cry out to God together for our country and continent. Everything will take place in a unique location, the Basilica of Koekelberg. The mornings and afternoons are for leaders only. Evenings are open for all.
Full details can be found on website www.HealYourChurch.eu
On the YouTube channel ‘Heal Your Church’ you can hear the detailed explanation of the prophetic words.

Please actively join together with us. This is a joint venture. The C24 Team greets you with great expectation: Rik Van Neste (BE), Ian Rossol (UK), Frank Ernst (BE), Maldo Amadar (BE), Sven Goetz (DE), Paul Rooda (BE). Counsel: David Vandeput (BE, president Fed. Synod), Dr. Khaled Leon MD (EG)
As we wrote previously, there is a Chapel in Schaerbeek that has been donated for the work of God. The vision for this Chapel is first and foremost to be a house of prayer and worship for many churches and groups in Brussels and Belgium: a place where we may come and be refreshed in God’s presence. We therefore also want to solemnly dedicate it, and there is no better way to do this than by holding an open day of prayer. On Saturday 28 September, there will be 12 hours of continuous prayer and worship, from 9am to 9pm: led by different groups from our country, in three languages and a diversity of styles. You are free to come for the whole day, or a few hours.
The central theme is: ‘Incense on the altar’
You can see the schedule of who leads which slot here:

If you would like to join us to lead an hour, contact pray4belgium@scarlet.be.
The address is: Rue de Cologne 35 in Schaarbeek, 800 metres from the North Station.
Further prayer for the chapel is also welcome: to manage the building well, for help, manpower and income for running costs. In any case, everyone is very welcome! It is an ideal opportunity to take a look at the chapel, but above all to participate in a chain of prayer where we want to build an altar for our God.
There is very special news for the prayer movement in our country, actually a miracle from God: we got a chapel in Schaerbeek! Completely free of charge! A bit of explanation: ‘we’ is the house church ‘Ammi Brussels’ of which I myself may be part. The chapel is at 35 rue Cologne, 800 metres from the North Station. The generous donor is the ‘Catholic Apostolic Church’, a 19th-century Protestant denomination that had stopped holding its own services. It is in good condition, can hold 80-90 people, and also has a small and semi-large auxiliary room (25-30 people). We want to use it first and foremost as a house of prayer and worship, open to other churches or prayer groups. So that it may be a place where we can come into God’s presence and peace and be refreshed, but also a place of meeting other Christians. Should you be interested, contact us to agree when you would schedule something and to collect the key.
The second 24h prayer meeting for the elections will be held in Brussels on 7-8 June (7pm – 7pm), led by various churches, organisations and prayer leaders: from Friday 7 June 7pm, to Saturday 8 June 7pm – at Grand-Place 28, Brussels
You are free to come for one hour or one slot or several. Some slots will be led in Dutch, others in French, but everything will be translated into English. You are also invited to join the fast. The schedule of themes, prayer leaders and languages can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/156ChK4-f5GVkajWmL-jwD16OCyHNKdZfaWbYfOoVzXU/edit#gid=2134370968

Pray4belgium, as always in elections, has compiled a list of 25 very varied prayer topics: these are provided to pray through for eight days, from 2-9 June (3 per day) in prayer groups or in your personal prayer time. But you can of course pray through these on other days and at other times, even now! Feel free to forward them or share them on social media wherever you like. Please download them here. They are also available in Dutch and French.

These months there are quite a few important prayer initiatives taking place, and that is of course good: there are also very important things at stake. We are living in turbulent times and it seems that no one knows yet who is controlling or directing the evolutions of our world. Fortunately, we may know that our God is above all this earthly upheaval, even above world powers, international power blocs and elections. Can we influence global events? Never underestimate the power of faithful prayer!
