European leaders gather

John Piper

In May, while the UK pondered the EU referendum campaign, I was privileged to attend the European Leadership Forum.

Over 700 evangelical leaders from all over Europe gathered for six days at a hotel in Poland. The object is to serve and equip national leaders to renew the biblical church and re-evangelise Europe, through a strategy of identifying, uniting, mentoring, and resourcing evangelical leaders. The Forum brings together experienced leaders from the US and Europe to serve and equip the next generation.

News across the continent

The highlight of the Forum, for me, is the opportunity to hear how the Lord is at work across the continent. The Muslim world, Japan and Europe are the three areas of the world in most need of gospel mission. Many European countries have tiny percentages of born-again believers.
