We believe discipling relationships are the key to changing Europe.
We are driven by a passion to see Europe transformed by the love of Jesus. We are both locals and outsiders, and sometimes we’re newcomers. We are collaborators from different backgrounds working alongside one another, united by the same mission, vision, and values. As followers of Jesus, we strive to be disciples who make disciples.
How does GEM define
Discipleship is the practice of helping another person grow in their relationship with Jesus. This can be introducing someone to the concept of Jesus for the first time, or helping a fellow believer better seek and savor the love of Christ.
While a part of discipleship is evangelism, our goal is not to convince people to make one decision for Christ but to walk alongside them as they learn to choose Him every day. All of this is fueled through dwelling in His Word, the practice of listening to the Holy Spirit, and in community with God’s people.
What does look like?
The practice of discipleship is not constrained to one process or system. We believe that Jesus is already at work in the lives of everyone we meet, wooing them to Himself—we just need to be intentional and ready to play our part.

How we work
Connecting Churches
GEM is passionate about seeing local churches across the US and Europe connected and collaborating to fulfill the Great Commission. We believe healthy church partnerships are critical to seeing the Gospel proclaimed, disciples made and sent out, and new churches planted.
Connecting Workers
The Lord is faithful in raising up workers who care deeply about Europe and long to see this once-reached continent reawakened in revival. Our role is to connect them to what God is already doing in Europe through local churches and ministries, equip them for their journey, and support them every step of the way.
Connecting Supporters
Our work wouldn't be possible without those supporting us through prayer and financial giving. We desire for you, our partner, to feel deeply connected to God's mission in Europe and to know that your generosity is making a real and lasting Kingdom impact. We rejoice in sharing with you stories of life transformation and providing unique opportunities for you to connect with GEM workers, projects, and ministry partners.
