Mission night and #charleroichallenge

This past Saturday our shop/coffee house Twinkeltje opened its doors again after a summer break of four weeks. You are all very welcome again on Saturday afternoons for a nice chat and tasty coffee. On the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Friday evenings of every month we organize prayer meetings, always very encouraging and constructive.

Please, mark your calendars: Wednesday, September 18th, we are organizing another Mission night, this time with guests from the USA; Jeroen & Robin Honingh. Every year they travel to israel to do volunteer work for three months. We first met them at Brian Slater's soup kitchen in Netanya. Last year they were also guests in Twinkeltje. Everyone is very welcome, the door open at 7:30 pm. There will be an offering for their work.

Last week we wrote about Teen Challenge in Belgium and the opportunity they have to buy a beautiful rehabilitation center. We came up with a nice promotion for this project last weekend, which we called the #charleroichallenge.

👉If ten people each donated one hundred euro before Tuesday evening, August 20, 6:00 pm, Jan would double that amount. We put the challenge on Facebook's and in no time we received generous donations. In just a few days we raised 1,000 euro, to which Jan will ad another 1,000. You can do the math 😄

We also challenged people to start their very own #charleroichallenge ... find ten people who each want to give one hundred euro and then double that amount. Brother Erik Slobben (who also visited the Teen Challenge coffee house in Charleroi) accepted the challenge. We are curiously waiting for the results.

Gifts are still welcome to IBAN: NL91RABO0118582275 BIC: RABONL2U St. Traveling Light in Papendrecht. Make sure to mention: BELGIUM.
