EUROPE
Acts 29 Europe exists to facilitate and catalyse church-planting efforts across our continent. We are currently 97 churches (partners and candidates). This represents significant growth for our Network in a continent which is, in many regions, less than 1% evangelical.
About
Many regions are now operating with their own assessment, coaching, training and support in-context and in-language, with growing teams of people working on the ground. This development goes hand in hand with a growing sense of solidarity between our regions, as well as between our regions and other regions outside Europe and between our Network and other Networks.
Acts 29 Europe finds itself highly impacted by the priorities that our collaboratives have highlighted. Europe is dealing with rapid urbanisation at one level and also problems and opportunities related to its rural zones. Each country is confronted with its own version of church in hard places.
We are delighted to benefit from the expertise and input from our Rural and Church in Hard Places teams. At the same time, Islam is making rapid progress in some European countries – and in other countries of our Network Islam is dominant. Nearly all European countries are dealing with mass immigration from troubled zones in North Africa, the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa which necessarily entails welcoming and interacting with Muslims.
In our highly complex, challenging times, we are grateful to be part of the Acts 29 family and together contribute to the advancement of the gospel in our beautiful and broken continent.

Our response to the Ukraine Crisis
Thank you for your interest in supporting the work of Acts 29 in Europe in the midst of this crisis. We are a church-planting network that exists so people meet Jesus all over our continent. Your generous contribution to Acts 29 Europe will be used to help our churches respond to the current crisis and will be managed by our leadership team.
We anticipate that there will be an ongoing need for help at least for the next 6 months. We will keep our partners informed regularly of the needs we are meeting and the needs still to be met. If, by God’s grace, your generosity exceeds the needs, the monies will be used to help other Acts 29 Europe churches for future crises, or for the mission of church-planting in Europe.
