In Western Europe, we are working to making our presentations of the gospel creative and relevant in a post-Christian environment. We partner with existing churches in collaborative church planting; also, in locations where churches do not have a strong evangelical thrust, we are committed to respectfully partnering to establish new churches.
In Eastern Europe, we work in the post-Communist environment to bridge the older “planned economy” infrastructure with newer infrastructures for job creation. We seek to demonstrate Christ's love by meeting needs; this expression also allows us to sensitively plant churches. We have an unusual opportunity to witness to the transforming work of Jesus Christ – rather than to the materialism and humanism of the West – but that window of opportunity is closing fast.
