Noodle Time: Spring 2025 Update
Dear Friends and Supporters,
Greetings from Brussels!
We’re excited to share some incredible updates from our ministry at Continental Theological Seminary. This semester has been amazing, welcoming more students from around the world. They’re preparing for ministry in diverse contexts, and it’s been a privilege to invest in their theological training and spiritual formation.
One of the biggest areas of growth has been in developing a more sustainable curriculum that reaches beyond the traditional classroom. With six extension sites across the continent, we’re seeing God open doors for students who otherwise wouldn’t have access to this kind of biblical training. It’s been inspiring to hear their stories and witness their passion for serving Christ.
Our church plant in Brussels is also thriving, with many people coming to Christ. The hunger for God in this community is evident, and it’s been incredible to see lives transformed as we disciple new believers. Please pray for continued wisdom and strength as we build this community of faith.
Bria has been actively leading three worship teams, helping students grow in their gifts as they lead worship for Spiritual Emphasis Week, special events, and concerts. She loves mentoring these students and watching them flourish in their callings. In her role as school nurse, she’s also been a source of support for many who are away from home for the first time, offering both practical care and encouragement.
Our kids are thriving in their own ways. Adelé is continuing to enjoy her high school years, while Oliver stays busy with basketball and jiu-jitsu, building great friendships along the way. Owen is growing quickly and doing well in school, and Madeline—fearless as ever—continues to make friends everywhere she goes and practices jiu-jitsu with Oliver. Our newest family member, Noodle the cat, has been keeping us all entertained with his antics!
As always, we are deeply grateful for your prayers and support. Your partnership in this ministry means the world to us, and we couldn’t do this without you.
With love,,
Brent, Bria, Adelé, Oliver, Owen, and Madeline (and Noodle)
