The Aldermans assist other Assembly of God missionaries in Western Europe with managing their construction or renovation projects for places of worship, Bible schools, teen challenge centers, children's centers, orphanages, etc. They host church construction or ministry teams and ensure the teams have what they need to make their time well spent.

John’s big project for the last 3 years was the new dormitory/cafeteria at Continental Theological Seminary. The seminary trains men and women to minister to the 97% of the European population that do not know how Jesus can change their lives. He has now transitioned into managing the renovation the old chateau building that will double the size of the library, create more classrooms, and house a research center for graduate studies.

Shawn directs the Antwerp location of Breaking Chains Network, which offers hope and healing to victims of human trafficking. Some ladies have left prostitution while others have also given their hearts to Jesus. The ministry opened Oasis Coffee, a café that allows them to to reach more of the local community than their original target audience. It has has done well and has opened doors to minister in new ways.

They have reached 20% more men and women from the red light district this year. They studied the book of John, with team members taking turns each week to write and record Bible study videos. After an evening meal, they share the video, discuss what is learned, and pray for each other. The lessons are also uploaded to YouTube so participants can share them with friends and family.

Please pray for: 

- The country of Belgium, as less than 1% of the population there claims to be an evangelical Christian.

- Their budget, because they returned to the field underfunded after their last itineration due to ministry needs in Belgium.

- Wisdom and guidance for helping women to get out of prostitution.

- Guidance in expanding ministries further in the community.
