Yes, what's happening in the Albanian lands now truly is the fruit of centuries of effort. Helped by a very strong push in the last few decades by missionaries from many places to help the people there re-discover the spirit of Skanderbeg and everything he dedicated to guarantee the freedom and...

Yes, thank you for posting that informative link about Skanderberg and everything he means to his people. It's incredible and deeply inspiring the results we've been able to have even as loosely affiliated groups outside of Albania and Kosovo themselves, it's an indication that the people have...

Yes, so pleased to see more discussion about the movements to bring the Word to the Albanian people's, and the association with their great national icon! You are correct that most of the ministries in association with these missions are named with some kind of association with Skanderbeg...

Hi there Helen, we did have someone in our church head to Tartu in Estonia where her group helped to build a new church. She's staying and raising family there (married to an Australian who moved there with her) but she's given a couple talks on visits back to the US, said that a good chunk of...

I just wanted to highlight this part, this is really one of the linch-pins to making broad conversion and baptism efforts work anywhere, especially in Europe. Remember as it's stated in Isaiah 50:4, "The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in...

I know you've said you've been most active in Netherlands, but if you're in the south of France anytime soon, I'd strongly recommend a day trip to the St. Nazaire Cathedral in Beziers. It's inspiring in the way you say, it connects worshipers to the rich history of our Church, and it's been one...

Thank you for making us aware of this. I've done several prison ministries and there's a great need for further mission work on them. Very important to be aware of these policies and changes.

Thank you for sharing this. We have also had increasing success with our group in converting Syrian and Iraqi refugees in Sweden, Germany, Belgium and France particularly, and your post got me thinking about the reasons why. In a couple spectacular cases, we have had entire clans of refugees...

Thanks much for sharing this! We really love the concept and the execution of it in practice. It's a nice way to concisely convey the joy of the Gospels, we will absolutely add it to our list of resources for ministries in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.

Agreed! This is one of the things that pleases me most about this collective effort, it truly is an awakening of mind, body and soul in the historical home of the faith. It has an especial resonance there with people once they do have that awakening, the reminders of their spiritual legacy are...

I feel like they can't hurt if their well designed, without being too showy or overdone like some business cards. The purpose of ministries is to win over people's hearts and get them to tap into their own potential for faith, with us just being the messengers to help bring Gospel to them. So I...

Couldn't agree with you more. Our group has a zero tolerance policy for any ministers or missionaries who try to start fights or undermine other Christian groups in Europe, this means immediate expulsion and revocation of visa sponsorship. Fortunately we have not had a problem with this because...

Yes I have to agree this was over-cooked, disrespectful and foolish on the part of those Baptist Church members, and the kind of thing that back-fires on them and subjects Christian ministries as whole to public ridicule. I do think in some cases one needs to be firm to defend Christian values...

Thank you! I was just marvelng at the courage of that young man who after his conversion, set off to speak the people back in his home in North Africa. I have met people who did that, conditions have gotten better for evangelizing there in the last 2 decade or so, I hear that people even village...

I would say start small and build confidence! Is how I did it myself, and more in my church. Like other forms of public speaking I will confess, it is can be a little daunting when you start! You won't know what to say and you'll feel nervous about questions you can't answer. So start with small...

Inspiring! Great thanks for spreading the word of it.

Great thanks for sharing this brave young man's story! I know it can be a little hazardous at times to evangelize in Arab countries of North Africa even with the recent warming to the faith there so I commend all who find the courage of spirit to do it. I am greatly excited to hear of this...

What an inspiring story, thanks for bringing this to our attention!

One of the branches of our broader mission effort in Germany and France just announced that they achieved the complete conversion of one of the oldest Turkish-German neighborhoods in Berlin. It's relatively small but had long been a kind of "barometer" of the mood of the Turkish community in the...

Wow, never knew so many people going in this direction, my church back in the States did an informational on Holland ministries with cultural introduction and beginner/intermediate Dutch and German courses, were very surprised at the high level of interest! Great to see. Just curious, is anyone...
