Planting Churches

“On behalf of the elders please accept our thanks for the very professional and loving manner in which you assisted us in the evaluation of our missions efforts.  Your presentations and comments to us have helped us to see better where we are and where we need to be as a missions-involved church.”

· European Teams Served by MRN

MRN has an experienced and knowledgable European Area Facilitator in Phil Jackson. Phil has assembled an European Advisory Panel composed of some of the most respected missionaries and European church leaders.

Europe has been host to numerous political, economic and social ideologies that have shaped and reshaped the continent over the centuries. These ever-changing tides have made it difficult to satisfactorily describe the moving target we know as Europe. Borders have fluctuated, political and economic realities are evolving.

Despite Europe's kaleidoscopic changes, there are two realities we, as servants of God, must not ignore. First, there is a new yearning for spiritual matters, especially among Europe's young adults a hunger placed there by the Lord. Second, Europe's cities have become huge global villages, drawing people from all over the planet. These dynamic and culturally diverse cities offer global opportunities.

Missions Resource Network is responding to the spiritual opportunities provided by Europe's cities. We are prayerfully and collaboratively developing church planting strategies that we believe are within the will of God. And we are compiling and articulating the collective wisdom of the community of Christian workers in the region.
Objectives include:

  • Networking with churches, ministries and people of peace in Europe
  • Engaging relevant relationally-based strategies for the European context
  • Targeting strategic European urban centers
  • Facilitating covenant-oriented mission team development
  • Providing emotional and mental health resources to missionaries and their families
  • Helping churches as they steward God's mission to redeem the lost of Europe.
