| For those of you who don't receive our paper newsletters, it might be news to you that we are currently living in Brussels and commuting to Paris on the weekends. 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. |
