Europe

With 37 affiliated movements, some almost 100 years old and others very new, Europe is a diverse region. A recent survey found that very few movements were regularly seeing students come to know Christ. It was an indication of the widespread spiritual decline Europe has witnessed in this generation. In response, IFES national movements are working together to support one another in evangelism, by sharing resources, experience and training evangelists.

The region is in a time of significant change. Conversations surrounding sexuality, mental health, immigration and freedom of speech have spread across campuses throughout the continent. IFES national movements are seeking to equip their students and graduates to engage in these conversations with cultural sensitivity and a biblical worldview.

Upcoming events in Europe

FEUER 2022: 26-31 October 2022

Each October, university evangelists from across Europe gather in northern Greece, on the shore of the Aegean Sea and next to Mount Olympus, as FEUER, the Fellowship of Evangelists in the Universities of Europe. This is a network committed to the public proclamation of the gospel in the university.

The gathering provides opportunity to see great models of proclamation evangelism, hear inspiring stories, receive training and constructive feedback on a short evangelistic talk, and build friendships with others involved in similar ministries across Europe, developing strategic partnerships and teams.
