  • Influx of refugees from North Africa, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East
  • Atheism and disassociation with religion
  • Permissive societies
  • Growing Muslim populations
  • Unreached people groups: 382

Continued unrest in the world has created so many refugees who are fleeing to Europe to find safe haven. What they typically find instead is resentment and prejudice from locals, homelessness, and hunger. The indigenous ministries in this region are like an oasis in the desert for weary souls, offering refugees food, clothing, and other basic necessities, along with counseling, shelter, and help to obtain asylum, medical treatment, and other services. Most importantly, ministry workers share the gospel with them and are leading many to Christ.

Ministry Highlight

In Serbia, a ministry is supporting two church plants among the Romani people. Within the span of a few months, one of the churches baptized over 100 people. “The impact of this Romani church is huge,” the ministry leader said, “because many Romani people are coming from outside the city, region, or country to get baptized.”

How You Can Make a Difference

Indigenous ministries in Europe are taking the opportunity to share the love of Christ with the multitude of refugees who have fled their countries from war and terrorism. The practical aid that these ministries offer has opened the hearts of many refugees to the gospel message. Practical aid, however, is a constant need as indigenous ministries are inundated with requests for help. Your support will enable these ministries to provide vital food, medicine, and shelter in Jesus’ name to refugees in physical and spiritual need.

From the Mission Field in Europe

Share Christ With the Vulnerable in Greece
Pray for refugees as they seek a deeper understanding of the gospel. After refugees visit a local ministry for humanitarian aid, missionaries conduct follow-up visits and discipleship with those who express an interest in learning more about the gospel. “Once the people are attracted to the gospel, they join our Bible study groups and come to our facilities,” the ministry leader said. “For those who are located at a distance, such as in camps, we visit them, and for those who have relocated to other European countries or the Middle East, we follow-up and disciple with the help of technology via the internet.” Your donations assist with this evangelism and discipleship work.

Be the Gracious Hands of Christ in Italy
Pray the Lord will provide for those who must seek new ways to support themselves. Mothers and their children—many from situations of domestic violence or from homes in which the father has abandoned them—have found respite with a local ministry that looks after the children during the day while the mothers search for and obtain jobs to support their families. Ministry workers pick up the children from school and keep them until their mothers return from work, and in one instance, a Muslim mother and her child have begun attending Sunday school with one of the ministry workers. Your donations of $25 or $50 support missionaries in their community outreach.

Refugee Family Trained for Evangelism Through Spanish Ministry
Jad* was a believer. His wife, Leila* was not. In their Muslim-majority North African country, Jad’s faith in Jesus put his life at risk every day. That’s why he kept his beliefs hidden from his Muslim wife, their children, and his wife’s strict Muslim family. To declare his faith in Christ would be catastrophic. But God was working behind the scenes even while Jad was oblivious to His plans. And soon, Jad’s life would be upended to further the Lord’s mighty work.

How a Blind Refugee Reunited with His Family
Tal, whose name has been changed for security, was just 18 years old when he arrived in Greece as a Syrian refugee. He was alone and desperate to reunite with his mother and sister, who had already relocated to Denmark. To join them, however, he needed to apply for asylum, obtain an ID, and get a passport. But he knew next to no one, he did not speak the language, and he did not understand the legal system. Tal was also nearly blind.
