Missions to Eastern Europe
Eastern Europe is such a fascinating part of the world – beautiful geography and amazing history. For centuries this region of the world was an anchor of the global church, but in recent history we have seen the people of Europe move away from God. Now, only a small percentage of these precious people know the blessing of the Holy Spirit. This is where you and I come in.
We know that God’s heart goes out to these people and we believe He has called us to do something for them. We have also seen God open doors for us there and raise up people who want to walk through them. This is how we have come to identify Eastern Europe as a Region of Burden for our church.
The Goal
To play a meaningful role in the evangelization of Eastern Europe, according to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
