This book is a presentation of a remarkable chapter in the history of revival in late twentieth century Flanders. The Evangelische Christengemeenten Vlaanderen (ECV) began in the early 1970s as a result of evangelistic church-planting efforts led by a group of Canadian, Christian Brethren missionaries. What began in Flanders as a series of evangelistic home Bible studies grew into a fully recognized denomination within a few decades of the first study. This result was surprising at a number of levels. First, the speed was remarkable at which the churches were planted. In just under twenty years, the ECV grew from one evangelistic home Bible study to over thirty local churches in Flanders, the Netherlands, and Germany. These local churches were composed almost entirely of newly converted, evangelical Christians. Second, the suddenness of the ECV’s growth was matched by the equal suddenness of its cessation of growth. New converts became infrequent and new churches were not planted after the early 1990s. Alongside this history are observations related to both the essential and functional ecclesiology of the ECV.
