"One of the things we love about Belgian culture is gezelligheid. There's no good translation for this word in English, but loosely translated it means a sense of warmness, cosiness and togetherness. 

"So a party with close friends could be gezellig, or a house or cafe could have a gezellig atmosphere or a family day out could equally be gezellig. 

"As a family we love to create a gezellig atmosphere, and to invite friends to share the gezelligheid with us: it's a wonderful expression of Christian hospitality.

"Had Jesus spoken Dutch, I think he would have loved it too!"

British churches and Christians have generously sent and supported people like David and Holly in ministry across our continent. Thank you!
