Across much of Europe, fewer than 2% of people are committed evangelical believers. In many places, churches are sparse. Yet we are seeing steady signs of hope – small Bible gatherings, new church plants, emerging leaders longing to reach their own cities.

Local ministries like these are essential because:

• It gives praise to God for just a few of the many ways He is making His love known across Europe today–through stories

• The gospel is heard most clearly in the language of the heart.

• Local believers understand the real questions their neighbours are asking.

• Churches rooted in their own culture are stronger and more sustainable.

• The message of Jesus is seen as good news, not foreign import.

We praise God for local leaders as they bring Christ to their neighbours. For Rui as he continues to offer one to one discipleship. For Martina as she continues to introduce women in prisons to Jesus. And for Berti as he continues walking patiently with new believers. 

Each story is a testimony to God’s faithfulness–and to your faithful support.

Our prayer is that as you READ OUR MAGAZINE, you will not only discover more about ECMI — but also sense the invitation to be part of what God is doing across Europe today. 

Together we can join Him in bringing hope to a continent longing for it!
