Robbie and Lizzie spent eight years in Brussels, working alongside Woluwe Evangelical Church to share the gospel with unbelievers and build up believers in their faith. They moved to Louvain-la-Neuve in the summer of 2019 to begin a church plant there.
Louvain-la-Neuve is 30 minutes south of Brussels and home to many students, young professionals and families. Before the church plant began, there was no conservative evangelical church in the town. The church plant team started meeting informally in September 2019, whilst getting involved in the life of the town and getting to know locals. They officially launched the new church in September 2020.
Like many countries in continental Europe, only 1% of the population of Belgium are Christians. The country is linguistically divided, with the Flemish-speaking Flanders in the north and the French-speaking Wallonia in the south.
Robbie and Lizzie have four children: Lola, Caleb, Mia and Zoe.
