The reversal of Roe V Wade in the United States of America has had its knock-on effects in Europe. For some it is a time of rejoicing, namely for all who campaign for the rights of the preborn child. Others see it as a threat to their “freedom”.

It is our pleasure to inform you that the English version of the Week of Prayer 2023 material is now available on our website.
The Week of Prayer 2023 will take place from 8 – 15 January 2022 under the theme “Joy.” There is joy in togetherness. In a world where loneliness is more and more rampant, we can celebrate the great deeds of God together. Joy in and through fellowship.

The Instituto Solidare “Solidarity Institute” of the Baptist Church in Coqueiral is an initiative that works with poor and marginalized communities in Recife, a city in Brazil’s Pernambuco state where around 126 people died and thousands were displaced due to rains that caused major floods and landslides last month.
Located on the banks of the Tejipio River, the community has been frequently flooded, making the church there a refuge and care facility for people affected by the floods.

Hope 2022 is getting closer and closer, and we are delighted to see how the multi-day program is getting richer each week. Hope 2022 is about great people with great stories, and that’s why our program in October focuses on how God moves people to transform our continent through their personal stories. With this newsletter issue, we are thrilled to announce that Mirela Popaja-Hadžić from Sarajevo will be our co-host during HOPE 2022.

Right-wing extremism and violence are becoming bolder—as seen in the riots in The Hague on Saturday, 22 September. The combination of external threats and internal divisions weighs heavily on the hearts of many Europeans. For many, the word “hope” seems fragile, even naïve.

When I think of relationships, I first think about the first one we read about in the Bible. The relationship between the Godhead. “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness…” Genesis 1:26. This relationship is followed quickly by a second relationship in Genesis 2:18, “The LORD God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.’

According to the latest Gallup study – a large-scale, ongoing survey that tracks public opinion and well-being across the globe – the greatest need people express today is hope.
Hope is the bridge between present and future. People often feel anxious when they worry about what lies ahead. But hope gives us a different perspective.

Alexander Pope’s line still speaks across the centuries, especially in times like ours—marked by war, upheaval, and deep uncertainty. The truth of it is being tested in Ukraine more than anywhere else in Europe today.

When I found a sailboat at my disposal as a teenage boy, I found no greater pleasure in it than to fight alone with the element of wind and water in very rough weather.
