We also share these devotionals in person in the Oasis Center. They help us reflect on the Word of God, but also create conversations with the men and women we\u2019re trying to win to Jesus. It is wonderful to see their hearts open to the truth of God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I\u2019m back, I find that I spend my time almost half and half: church and street. I teach and disciple the believers, and I bring the gospel to the unbelievers. Two days a week, I\u2019m dedicated completely to the ministry in the Oasis Center. We do outreach, then share food with those who come in. It is very sad to know that for some of these people what we give them is the only food they have.\u00a0 Then, we broadcast the devotional and discuss the topics we have touched on. Finally, we go back to the streets again to reach out to more people. Those are exhausting days because we always wrap up late, but it is so rewarding to see people gaining a greater and greater revelation of God and His Word. In my next newsletters, I will share some testimonies of how God is transforming the lives of these people.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4444\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Oasis-Center.jpeg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4444\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4444\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Oasis-Center.jpeg\" alt=\"Oasis Center\" width=\"420\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Oasis-Center.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Oasis-Center-1024x564.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Oasis-Center-768x423.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Oasis-Center-1536x845.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4444\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oasis Center<\/p><\/div>\n<p><div class=\"fve-video-wrapper fve-image-embed fve-thumbnail-image youtube\" style=\"padding-bottom:75%;\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D8cLYmpWFvY?wmode=transparent&modestbranding=1&autohide=1&showinfo=0&rel=0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen><\/iframe>    <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Teaching, training, and supporting the Church of Antwerp is the second big task I do weekly.\u00a0 This church has survived despite the ongoing attacks from the enemy. We see the mighty hand of God lifting and strengthening it every time. The scripture is so very true; \u201cthe gates of hades will not prevail\u201d against His church. Also, new people arrive every week.\u00a0 They come on Sundays and midweek looking for a deeper encounter with God. It is very encouraging to see this move of God also among the Generation-Z youth.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Community-Antwerp-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4446\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Community-Antwerp-2.jpg\" alt=\"Christian Community, Antwerp\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Community-Antwerp-2.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Community-Antwerp-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Community-Antwerp-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4445\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Community-Antwerp-1.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4445\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4445\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Community-Antwerp-1.jpg\" alt=\"Christian Community, Antwerp 2\" width=\"420\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Community-Antwerp-1.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Community-Antwerp-1-1024x533.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Community-Antwerp-1-768x399.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Community-Antwerp-1-1536x799.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4445\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christian Community, Antwerp<\/p><\/div>\n<p>To add to the work I do weekly, I travel over to Eupen, BE to support the work of church planting with Mark and Jeannie McClung.

Not so! I am still dealing with that as well as my own status here in Belgium and in WMM Department. However, as you can see, the work of Christ\u2019s Kingdom supersedes the work of human governments!<\/p>\n<p>The good news about my housing: \u00a0I found an apartment in the city of Antwerp that is very convenient and strategically located. Plus, it fits my budget. Praise God!<\/p>\n<p>I very much appreciate all of your support in prayer, friendship, and finances. You are truly helping advance the Kingdom of God in this place. Together we will make possible the spread of the gospel to the ends of the earth! Thank you!<\/p>\n<p>I am also very grateful to all of the leaders in World Missions Ministries and IPHC for their help. Only because of the constant support of my IPHC family, I have been able to move forward and accomplish so much. I want to express my deep appreciation to Bishop Talmadge Gardner, Executive Director of WMM, Steve Cofer, Missionary Care Director, to the Appalachian Conference: Bishop Preston Mathena, Conference Superintendent; Larry Meadors, Mission Director, and all the staff in his office, and to my Regional Director, Harold and Kathleen Presley, for their care all along my journey since my husband went to be with the Lord. Finally, I say a huge thank you to my fellow missionaries Bill and Gretchen Schwartz for their patience and great support in this time of getting back into Belgium. Of course, I am so very grateful for all the hundreds of messages and prayers from pastors and members of our great family of the IPHC. Thank you with all my heart<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prayer Requests:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For strength spiritually, physically, and mentally due to all of the trauma, I have recently endured.\u00a0 Although the work of God fills me with joy, the grief is still there. There is a necessary time and process that this kind of grief requires. It can be exhausting. The month of October was very difficult for me as it celebrates both Mau's birthday and our 31st Wedding Anniversary. That, plus the other demands mentioned take its toll.<\/li>\n<li>For grace and quick results in front of the ecclesiastical and governmental authorities. I am ready for everything to be clearly established correctly in this new stage of my life.<\/li>\n<li>For the direction of God's plan to develop a ministry to the Hispanic community of this region.<\/li>\n<li>For the protection and direction in the lives of my children, their spouses, and my grandson since they have decided to continue serving the Lord no matter where God places us. Betsy continues in the United States serving with The Awakening and she is processing her documentation to continue serving God there. Obed has decided to settle in Belgium with his family and he is also now working on the necessary governmental documentation for them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Lulu-Praying.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4449\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Lulu-Praying.jpg\" alt=\"Lulu Praying\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>May the Grace of our God continue to manifest in your lives.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>In the love of Christ,<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Lulu Salazar<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Your missionary in Belgium<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings to you all!
