Why Europe?

The Needs & Opportunity in Europe

In Europe there is "a great sense of awe at both its beauty and its heritage. Cities, towns and villages are all so different yet equally fascinating. There was a time when Europe and Christianity were almost synonymous. For two hundred years missionaries from Europe sacrificially served God all over the world, and the gospel advanced through its people. Sadly, today the majority of Europe's churches are looked upon as monuments of a past Christian era. Protected as part of a heritage, but regarded by most as irrelevant?Secular humanism is the dominant religion of the day. Europeans have developed an apathy and indifference to religion and have very little understanding as to what it means to be a Christian. Bible stories are regarded as fairy tales and Bible truths as mediaeval folk lore."
- The Evangelist

European's need to be reminded of God's love for them. It is easy to regard their culture as one of contentment and beauty, surrounded by deep roots in history (both secular and Christian), and assume that Europe is thriving in Christianity. But the opposite is quite true.

The European Union comprises of approximately 380 million people, of that number only 2% are active Evangelical Christians. In European's eyes, Christianity is a religion of the past. I recently read a quote that was scary; the International Herald Tribune says, “Contemporary Europe has become the most godless civilization the world has ever known.” Europe holds the unfortunate distinction of being one of the few places in the world where Christianity is actually declining rather than growing. Cathedrals have become museums and the European people continue to become lonely and dissatisfied in their lives. Agape Europe is working diligently to change this spiritual climate throughout these many countries.

Agape Europe's presence in Western European countries is helping bring the loving message from God's heart to insecure and lonely Europeans who are hungry for love and without hope.
