January 2009
We start as a house – church. Pastor Robert Baxter / Assemblee Chretienne du Bon Berger Paris and Pastor Kyle Holland / Cornerstone Christian Fellowship Dublin, both are representing Horizon International, pray with Frank and Hadassa for the beginning of a new church plant in Antwerp.
A small group of people simply comes together every week, to share lives, to pray together and to read the bible.
A strong desire to be real and authentic and the dream to create a fellowship where people would feel welcome and safe to be themselves was and is the heartbeat of of it all.
