We Have a Small Castle
A glimpse into diaspora ministry in Belgium

Often, when we think of the mission field, we imagine living in a remote village or a dusty, bustling city. As we walked the cobblestone streets of this small Belgian city, it was neither dusty nor bustling. All was quiet. Flowers climbed on trellises. Doors came in turquoise, red, and yellow. Bikes stood propped on doorsteps.
What we couldn’t see during our late-night trek was the global village living behind those brightly colored doors. During the day, you can get a haircut from a Moroccan barber, chat with Ethiopian neighbors a few doors down, and meet Middle Eastern men passing time together in the city square.
