The Billy Graham Rapid Response Team (RRT) has dispatched chaplains and aid workers to the city of Brussels which suffered terrorist attacks last week that killed 32 people and devastated the city.
The Christian Post reports that Jeff Naber, one of the chaplains with
RRT, observed that Belgians are in mourning for the loss of lives and
violence that occurred, but are also in fear that another attack will
soon come.
Despite the discouragement of many Belgians, however, Naber and those working with RRT are making an impact for Christ.
Naber shared one moving story:
“Coming back from the store, and I run across this guy walking this
huge dog. One thing leads to another, and we start talking about God. He
said, 'I don't know if you need to know Jesus in order to have eternal
life.' I explained the Gospel message using the Steps to Peace and he
accepted Christ about an hour ago."
Although Naber reported that many Belgians with whom the RRT team spoke
were cautious about the mention of God, the team has been able to pray
with people and support local churches.
Naber added that “There's a lot of strife, but if you look at John
16:33 you'll see where Jesus says, ‘In this world, you're going to be
faced with trials and troubles, but take heart because I have overcome
the world.’ And that’s our message.”
The RRT’s Facebook page contains updates of the organization’s progress and photos of their work while in Brussels.
