Europe
Restoring HopeOnce, European Christians told the world about Jesus. Today’s “Christian” Europe is spiritually bankrupt. Prosperous Europeans may seem content, but rising suicide rates, the desperate search for alternative spiritualities and the growth of other religions demonstrate the emptiness behind the façade.
Yet, in the midst of brokenness, God is restoring hope to Europe. In more than 30 nations across the continent, OM teams are living out the reality of the Gospel as they provide practical help, build friendships and share truth.
Together with the European church, OM is caring for the unwanted, loving Muslims, empowering the next generations, reawakening the religious and challenging the secular.

“When I was asked by our OM leader if I wanted to go to Europe and share the Gospel with Muslims, I was on fire! It’s much easier to share here than in my country. People accepted literature willingly. In forty minutes we handed out 500 Arabic CDs, DVDs and Gospels.”-Europe outreach participant from Egypt.
In Bosnia, team members visited people who have received gifts of firewood from OM over the years. At the first house, three OM team members shared their stories with the mother and her son, and both prayed to receive Jesus. Later in the week, when two team members returned, and the woman's daughter also came to faith. "This is the first full family of believers that we have ever had in Bihac," said an OM missionary. Soon after, three more Bosnians accepted Christ--seven new Bosnian believers in less than two weeks!
"From my experience of evangelism and giving out literature, I found French people to be much more open to the Gospel and spiritual things than I had thought."

“It was my privilege to talk to a woman who was very interested in knowing more about God. She was in a rush but gave me her phone number and asked me to call her back. Later that evening I called and continued our discussion about the Lord. Over the phone I was able to lead the woman to a new relationship with Christ.”
