The Hard Stuff No One Wants to Tell A ...

You don’t become a missionary by raising money and flying to a foreign country. You do it by being obedient to God. Tell people about Jesus where you live. Get out of your comfort zone. Sell something precious and apply it to your debts. Make a sacrifice. Develop better friendships. There is an old saying: “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” While this is not to be taken literally in this sense, (please, don’t start wearing the national garb of the country you want to go to just yet). However, somewhere in the process, we have to make a conscious decision that there is no going back.

The Miracle of the Oasis

More than 30 years ago, the last evangelical church in the municipality of Bergen, Netherlands, closed its doors, leaving no evangelical witness for two generations. But a small yet passionate group of Christians believed God for a miracle in their community.

On the Hunt: Embracing—and Breaking—Tradition ...

For most of his life, one of missionary Rich McLane’s passions has been hunting. His wife Lori enjoys playing the trumpet. When they became missionary church planters in Poland years ago, who would have guessed these passions would converge to reach more than 120,000 hunters throughout the country?

Luxembourg

Impact Luxembourg 2012

During the week of July 16-22, Impact Luxembourg 2012, an outreach in the city of Luxembourg, Esch/Alzette, Mondorf-les-Bains, took place. There was participation of some 100 short-term missionaries from Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and even Hong Kong. Local Christians also joined in this outreach. In spite of several difficulties to obtain legal authorizations, the teams were able to share the Gospel through personal conversations, prayer and evangelistic tracts on the theme of "Hope That Does Not Fail". Every night new people were present in the evangelistic meetings held at the Assemblies of God Portuguese church in downtown Luxembourg. Several responded each night to the call for salvation and healing.

Several responded each night to the call for salvation and healing.

The climax of the week was the Pentecostal European Conference held on July 20-22 at the Chapito in Mondorf-les-Bains, gathering up to 700 Pentecostal believers during the closing service. In an atmosphere of joyful celebration, the local Pentecostal churches, joined by European visitors, enjoyed the plenary sessions featuring different speakers such as Frank Alexandre (France) and Pelle Hornmark (Sweden). The general theme was: "Citizens of Europe? Citizens of God's Kingdom?"

P1010261.JPGOn Saturday, a special leaders' meeting (with PEF Chairman Ingolf Ellssell, Germany) was held as well as a Bible study (with Joseph Atta N'Tiamoa, France) and a ladies get-together, conducted by Hannelore Illgen (Germany).  In the Sunday morning closing service, Ellssel brought a message on the topic of unity and led the Communion service. A combined choir from the local Pentecostal churches led in worship.

In many ways, this was an historic and inspiring gathering for the Pentecostal work in Luxembourg; a wonderful opportunity to sow the Gospel in one of the most materialistic countries of Europe. Impact Luxembourg 2012/PEC was the fruit of a blessed partnership between the Pentecostal European Fellowship (PEF) and the newly formed Luxembourg Pentecostal Fellowship.
