Europe

Within Europe we are specifically engaged in the following countries:

• Austria
• Croatia
• Czech Republic
• Moldova
• Slovakia
• Spain

The emphasis in this region is to rebuild the church leadership in this post communist environment. Some of our primary ministries are youth English camps that help build trusting relationships while seeking opportunities to personally share our lives in Christ with the youth who attend these camps. We also equip students, through Bible colleges and seminaries to become pastors and key lay leaders in their nations.

Ministry to women is another important area of focus in Eastern Europe. We are addressing a great need with our national ministry partners, to form and support ministries to women who as a group have suffered greatly under communist repression. These ministries exist to reach out to encourage and build up women as they discover their true identity in Christ.
