fACTOR is a three-month volunteering and discipleship programme in Belgium. It’s an opportunity to explore faith, while serving practically at ZavCentre, our guest house and conference centre.
ZavCentre (ZC) often hosts missionaries, volunteers, and representatives from church and Christian organizations around the world. Besides 60 beds, we have video and audio recording studios, workshops, and the Belgian OM office.
Two thirds of a fACTOR participant’s workday will be spent doing regular or project based practical tasks like cleaning, painting, and other activities related to the upkeep of ZavCentre. The other third of the time will be dedicated to intentional discipleship and mentoring aimed at helping participants explore and dive deeper into their faith. In their first week with us, participants will be assigned a personal mentor who will walk alongside them throughout their time in Belgium. They will also join occasional day outings, enabling them to see and experience more of Belgium.
- Have a desire to serve others - Motivated to be discipled and learn about faith - Open to being challenged and to grow - Flexible with their time
Participants must be in generally good health. They should be physically able to stand and walk for extended periods of time.
Participants will live in community in Zaventem, Belgium. It’s a town only a few minutes away by train from Brussels and the International Airport.
Meal costs are included in the overall fee, having said this, participants will often cook together as a team. Dietary restrictions are to be communicated in advance.
Participants are responsible for travel costs and arrangements to and from Belgium. We suggest flying into Brussels International Airport, with airport code: BRU. Participants will be picked up at the train station or the airport. A programme leader will contact them prior to the day of arrival to arrange pick-up details.
Applicants should check if they need a visa to come to Belgium.
