Gary & Jerri Benjamin - Belgium
Gary & Jerri Benjamin are leaders in establishing a mission’s base in Brussels, Belgium. Brussels is the capital of Europe and is the most influential city of the EU. As Europe weighs in the balance between secularism and Islamism, the only hope is Jesus. Europe is now one of the largest unreached areas in the world. To see genuine transformation it can only happen through a community of believers whose hearts have been set on fire in the presence of God. Their vision is to establish a missional community that is gathered around night and day prayer built upon the values of intimacy with God, community, and mission. Gary serves with ANET, a large apostolic network of churches in Belgium and the PEFY Youth movement. Along with building the Brussels House of Prayer missions base, they have a heart to reach and equip a generation of young people. Gary & Jerri and their five kids and seven grandchildren are a group of worshipping intercessors who seek to live a “sermon on the mount” lifestyle and to reach people at their point of need.

This justice movement, saturated in night and day prayer, will rescue and bring restoration to 10,000 orphans over the next 10 years. Through the spirit of grace and adoption, OJC will create a model that can be reproduced across America and in the nations. We envision the lonely, neglected, handicapped and abused orphans being set into loving families and supported by communities of night and day prayer.
