Luke 19:10

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.

Tonight Rob and I met with some of the church leadership to discuss a meeting with a Brussels attorney regarding opening a pre-school in Brussels. As it turns out there is a huge need for English speaking pre-schools, however the schools must be run completely through the government. This makes the feasibility of outsiders coming in an opening one next to impossible. We learned of two other organizations who tried to go around the government to open schools only to be shut down days before opening. In one case 4 missionaries lost their visa privileges. Of course this is discouraging news,  we were excited about the opportunities that could arise from the school. It seems for now that this is a no so we are re-grouping and seeking God’s will.

Because I believe that God IS doing a mighty work in our lives and I trust His plan completely I am taking today’s news with a thankful, praising heart. That said we certainly appreciate your prayers, encouragement and support. You remain our partners and lifeline in this journey.

For His Glory,
Cynthi Rob and the R’s

Mother's Day Three Year Journey Cont....


Three years ago today…we entered into the wildest adventure of our lives. On Mother’s Day of 2009 we sat in our driveway and put our yes on the table to follow God’s plan for our lives. It has been a rocky road filled with encouragement and painful goodbyes. We’ve sold three vehicles, found a new home for a big dog, moved out of a house we loved and purged of many “things”. We’ve met new neighbors, volunteered at Wherry Housing, served as small group leaders, Wednesday night teachers and on the encouragers team at church. The changes that God has brought in us and our family have been invaluable!

We finally have some news, we are going this fall! Rob and I will be opening a LifePoint Creative Learning Center in Brussels. God laid on Rob’s heart a few months ago that the Brussels Church needs an English language preschool as an outreach. With a little research and a lot of prayer we’ve been encouraged by church leadership to continue the research and begin the visa process.

I can’t tell you how excited we are about this development. We never questioned that God would get us to Belgium, we did however long for the moment that things would be made clear. So thankful for His constant leading and encouragement. We also continue to be thankful for your encouragement support and prayers. So please keep them up, you are our partners in this adventure and we wouldn’t be here without you!
For His Glory!
Cynthi, Rob and the R’s
