The revised edition of the prayer booklet
‘Spiritual History of Belgium’
“The spiritual climate of Belgium: why and how to pray?”
Gebedsnetwerk.be (Prayer Network.be, 1998) and Pray4belgium (2003) have been active for many years to mobilize and coordinate prayer in and for Belgium. That is why in 2008 a booklet was published about the “Spiritual History of Belgium” (22 pages) with some basic information about our country, historical facts and background information, useful and necessary to know for anyone with a heart of prayer for this nation. About 3500 of them have been distributed into the world, probably to all continents of the globe.
However, after ten years this book was definitely ready to be updated, and at the same time revised, expanded and generally refreshed! There are new statistics, facts and figures, plus an extra chapter on old spiritual sources such as Brabant mysticism. This 30 page booklet is printed in 4 colours and has a new title: “The spiritual climate of Belgium: why and how to pray?” It is suitable for anyone who wants to pray for Belgium and is looking for some more background information. 23 topics are explained, such as the origins of Belgium, the struggle for identity, the history of the Congo, the tensions between Flemish and Walloons, ethical issues, the spiritual climate, etc.
Furthermore, there are 30 prayer topics and many Bible verses to proclaim. It is very useful for distributing to other intercessors in your congregation or prayer group. The Dutch and French versions have also had a facelift and are currently available as well: these are very suitable to give to foreign Christians who are often extremely motivated to pray for Belgium, as it provides a lot of insight into our complex country. The booklet can be ordered from Pray4belgium, c/o Achille Detiennestraat 38, 1030 Brussels or via e-mail: pray4belgium@scarlet.be. The price is 4 € (5.50 €, p & p); 5 copies or more: 3 € each! Money can be deposited onto the bank account of Ignace Demaerel, Achille Detiennestraat 38, 1030 Brussels: IBAN: BE31 9731 2921 5855 (BIC: ARSPBE22) with the communication ‘x prayer booklets’. Our hope for this booklet is that it would contribute towards more people receiving insight and being moved to go on their knees for our little land!
