EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 11 Zacharias Trust (Globally known as RZIM) UK Vision and Mission: organisation seeks to share and defend the credibility and beauty of the gospel in all settings, whether in government, media, academia or the business world, or by reaching the next generation of culture shapers through university missions. Target Group: Culture Shapers, Youth, Church We seek to equip the church to give her back her confidence in sharing the gospel by giving members a better grasp and understanding that there are meaningful answers to people’s intellectual objections and heartfelt concerns about the gospel. Thus, our mission is two-fold, hence our slogan ‘helping the thinker believe and the believer think’. Projects: • Expanding ministry in Romania - There are several initiatives planned for 2019: A) Cluj Mission: 11th-16th March 2019, B) Book Publishing: March 2019, C) New Team Member: August 2019, D) Media Advancement: January 2019.
12 January 24-25, 2019 / London Youth for Christ Eastern Europe Belarus Vision and Mission: YFC is passionate about reaching children and young people with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and through that raise a new generation of believers focused on serving and supporting their community. Target Group: Youth We choose to walk the very same bridge He used; the “and” bridge combining Christian service with Christ’s sacrifice. Youth for Christ have over the past twenty years built a best-in-class capability of establishing church-based afterschool care programs, linked to weekend sports activities and summer camps. This continuum of care is highly effective, not only in improving educational achievement and mental well-being, but in leading children and young people to Christ, in seeing them discipled in the faith Projects: • New Cluster in Georgia - YFC Georgia hopes to scale the church-based afterschool day centres from 3 to 15 by the end of 2021. • Hire a senior regional Program Manager - The program now exists in 304 locations, across 5 countries (Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus). The goal, over the next 3 years, is to scale this work by 40%. Critical to that end is the employment of an experienced regional catalyst. • Matching Fund for Eastern Europe - 110k will result in 400k in total.

Responding to the German “refugee kairos” (many immigrated Muslims showing a never seen openness to the gospel) • Extension project “Kirche Kunterbunt / Messy church” - meets the needs of modern, often un-churched families, missing Christ and the gospel, but also a relevant community and “quality times” together. The spread of the Messy Church concept (more than 4000 worldwide) shows an open door.

EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 17 Christ in Public Schools F-foundation Czechia and Slovakia Vision: F-foundation supports generosity. We help donors to fund outreach events which are bearing fruit. Target Group: Children and Youth 7-19 There is a lack of directions for young people, we want to respond and complement what parents or schools cannot do. Through our speakers at schools, we bring current preventive programs that build on the needs of the young generation and help them understand the pitfalls of life. At the same time, our speakers bring ethical and spiritual dimension by which they want to point to Christ. We feel this is a unique period of time in which Czech schools welcome Christian speakers with all sorts of programs. We are grateful for this opportunity though we do not know for how long this situation will go on. Project: • Christian speakers in Public Schools of Czechia and Slovakia - Christian speakers that come to schools with preventive and spiritual programs as well as with follow-up activities with youth groups of a local church with the goal to help young generation successfully manage the difficult period of adolescence and build a good spiritual foundation for their lives.

EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 19 European Christian Sports Union UK Vision: To make disciples of all nations in Europe for Christ in the world of sport, play and health and fitness. Target Group: sports club, health and fitness club We aim to take the gospel to every sports club, health and fitness club, country, city and community in Europe as defined by UEFA (51 countries) and have been working together to this end for 30 years with significant growth over the last seven years. Sports participation is huge with 38% of Europeans playing sport each week. Statistically, those that play sport are some of the most unreached people groups in our continent with the local church finding it hard to reach this vast and growing tribe, and finding sport and Sunday services clashing across the continent. Projects: • European Sports Discipling Catalytic Training - A key catalyst to the evangelism of sports people across Europe is the ECSU Gathering which serves as a platform for training, envisioning and mentoring leaders and disciple makers to go out to all Europe to share Christ through sport. • European Sports Multiply School - We have committed to training our young leaders together through a one month training school called ReadySetGO Multiply. • Disciple-making in the top 100 sports Universities in Europe - Sports growth and development is driven through the performance centres at the top sports universities around Europe.

20 January 24-25, 2019 / London Fellowship of Evangelists in the Universities of Europe UK Vision: Re-focus on the public proclamation of the gospel in universities all across Europe through the unearthing and developing of a team of European-based evangelists. Target Group: Clear communication of the gospel in the public domain in Universities. We want to communicate the gospel in the neutral territory of the universities of Europe, as they are the seedbed of ideas and a place where many future leaders are formed. If we can help some of these students turn to Christ and begin to put down deep roots in him, it is our conviction that this will have an impact across European cultures similar to what happened following the reformation, when the gospel took root in the universities through the conversion of Luther, Calvin and many others. Projects: • Identification and equipping of 120 university evangelists - in all 40 European countries training conference, programmes and mission weeks. • The Lausanne Europe 2020 Conference & Process Dynamic Gospel - The Lausanne Movement has been connecting influencers with ideas for global mission. • Seed Funding for the Balkan Institute Good News - the first year of a new project indigenous to the Balkans for the purpose of an evangelism, discipleship and training programme.

24 January 24-25, 2019 / London Steiger International Germany Vision and Mission: Steiger is a worldwide mission organization called to reach and disciple the Global Youth Culture for Jesus. Steiger’s vision is to establish Steiger City Teams in 100 global cities, sharing the Gospel with 1,000,000 people and forming 10,000 new discipleship relationships annually. Target Group: emerging Global Youth Culture of age 17 - 35 The emerging Global Youth Culture (age 17 - 35), present in every major global city, embracing the same values, listening to the same music, and following the same influencers on social media, forms one of the largest unreached demographics today.

b) Information about your organization
1. What is the vision and mission of your organization?
Vision: A movement of God among the youth of Central and Eastern Europe that
finds its home in the local church and transforms society.
Mission: To equip young leaders to fulfill Christ’s commission through the local
church.
2. Who is your target group?
Youth. Ages 12-20+.
3. What need does your project try to meet? What is your idea how to meet the
needs? What is your strategy and plan, how to realize this idea?
Central and Eastern Europe has a great need for the gospel of Jesus Christ. In
the 14 countries where Josiah Venture staff serve there are over 150 million
people – and less than 1% evangelical believers. Yet in these same countries,
we are experiencing a great openness and responsiveness to the gospel among
young people. It is essential that the church respond to these open doors, since
this could result in a change in the spiritual climate of entire countries, and many
thousands of lives saved28 January 24-25, 2019 / London
The church in Europe currently sits at a key crossroad. Because of the effect of
atheist communism in Central and Eastern Europe, and secularism in Western
Europe, Christianity has been on the decline for a number of years. At the same
time, the open doors of freedom in the east and a new interest in spirituality across
the entire region has opened key doors for the gospel. If the church can mobilize
for the current opportunities, huge inroads could be made in a key area of the
world.
As we have seen from the revolutions in Eastern Europe, young people are often
at the forefront of key changes in history. They are the most reachable, moldable,
and open to change. They have time, energy, and often long to give their lives
for a cause. Since they are not yet set in their ways, they are willing to risk and
pioneer, challenge the status quo and dream.
Because of this, healthy youth ministries in local churches are essential to growth
and renewal across the European region. This is the place where future leaders
are being shaped, and new methods and strategies are being forged. Youth
ministry is also the context in which lost people can most easily be reached.
In spite of this, many European youth leaders have no specific training on how
to effectively lead their local youth ministry. Learning a philosophy of ministry
based on the life of Christ, and drawing from the experiences of others who are
effective in a European context can powerfully increase their effectiveness. Quality
preparation can also keep them from becoming discouraged or burned out.
It is essential to teach young leaders to root their ministry strategy in the Word
of God, and learn to make disciples in the steps of Jesus. Because of that, it is
important to develop in them not just the techniques of youth ministry, but the
theology as well. This will allow them to continue to be effective in any ministry role
the Lord calls them into as they grow and mature.
4. What is your organizational capacity? Staff, operational budget etc.
Budget: $11,228,850.00
n total 66% of the budget consists of salaries and ministry expenses of the

EXIT Tour is a team of youth speakers and a rock band that travels to high schools
with a program designed to help schools fulfill their “prevention” requirements,
but from a Christian and Biblical perspective. The Exit team works with the entire
student body for a day, and then invites them into follow up discussions in local
churches. An evangelistic concert at the end often draws the students from the
schools, many of which are hearing the gospel for the first time.
2. Who is the target group?
Ages 12 to 19.
3. What are the projected activities, outputs and outcomes of your project for
2019?
Activities and Outputs:

We always involve the local church youth groups in every city we do EXIT Tour in.
We train them before the events and then have the youth group members present
at every event so that they can create the relationships with the non-believers. We
also do a special event for all those who have become believers where we connect
them with the members of the youth groups.
9. How are you going to measure results? How will you know your project is
successful?
Through surveys after the events, regular feed from churches and youth groups
throughout the year. At EXIT Tour we gather feedback from churches through
debrief sessions and from participants through the use of surveys. Our teamEGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 31
carefully tracks the number of participants at various events as well as those who
respond.

8. What step will you take to make sure the fruit is sustainable?
Josiah Venture does not perform the programs in public schools directly but equips
the local churches to deliver the programs and build relationships with students in
public schools in their neighborhoods.
The nationwide training events and conferences for Christian educators have
connected the teachers on local levels. Christian teachers and speakers now meet
regionally in local/city-based meetings. These self-propelled communities hold the
vision and expand the movement on the local level.EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 33
9. How are you going to measure results? How will you know your project is
successful?
We have semi-annual evaluations with the Josiah Venture Czech executive team.
We monitor quantitative as well as qualitative indicators on 2 levels. First, we track
every training or program delivery in public school. Also, we monitor educational/
training path for every Christian we work with. In Comenius 2020 project, youth
leaders from local churches are assigned to the school classrooms and their
feedback of follow-up activities after the project is monitoring final success of
connecting youth with the local churches.

b) Information about your organization
1. What is the vision and mission of your organization?
Our vision is to ignite multiplying church planting movements all over Europe.
M4 works across denominational and theological boundaries. It‘s all about: New
people - new communities - that impact society. More than 200 new churches
have been planted through M4 in the last 4-5 years and some of them have
started to multiply.
2. Who is your target group? What need does your project try to meet?
The target groups are on three levels: 1. Train key national church planting
leaders in the M4 process and help them to start in their nations. 2. Help church
planters and their team to succeed in planting healthy reproducing churches in
their context. 3. Recruitment of potential church planters and leaders through
the M4ready recruitment process. Needs that we see are: We provide a church
planting leadership pipeline for denominations and organization in Europe. Through
this, we meet the need through: M4ready: recruitment of potential church planters
and leaders. M4 church planting training: Ongoing support to the church planter
and their team in the first phase of church planting. Through this they avoid many
unnecessary mistakes and the success rate of the church planting is increased.EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 35
3. What is your idea how to meet the needs?
After a three year (2009 – 2012) development phase in Norway, M4 the last
5-6- year, has expanded from Norway to fifteen nations in Europe. We support
indigenous national church planting leaders to implement a recruitment process
(M4Ready) and training processes (M4 training), to help the church planter and
their team be successful in the first 3-5 years of the church plant.
4. What is your strategy and plan, how to realize this idea?
We identify key church planting leaders from different denominations in a nation
and train them in the M4 process, using the church planting ABC’s: Assessment,
Basic training (M4 process) and Coaching. We support them in the first M4
cycle’s in their nations (2-3 year). We do not launch in a nation until we have an
indigenous leadership group that is committed to the following five areas:
• Implement at least two M4 cycle’s in their nation (5+ year commitment from
launch)
• Within the first five years, make M4 fully indigenous in their own language and
culture.
• Within the first five years, start to give it away investing in other regions in the
nations (Russia, Sweden and Spain have multiple processes running in more than
one place) or other nations (Latvia developing Russia, Czech - Poland and Slovak,
Romania - Ukraine). We want to see nations serving nations.
• Every year you commit to meet with the national team in a learning community with
leaders from all other M4 nations to learn and develop and plan for the future.
• What is your organizational capacity? Staff, operational budget etc.
The main capacity is in the 100+ leaders from the fifteen nations that
understand the process and language of M4 church planting training. M4 is
a relational network with a minimum of overhead and organization where the
people involved raise their own support to serve. Our operational budget is
mainly development projects supported by different large and small donors. To
run M4 today, we have an operational budget (Overhead cost) of approximately
€30,000 per year.
• What is the geographical focus of your organization?
Our focus is Europe (North, south, East and west). Today M4 is serving
1) Norway, Latvia, Estonia, Sweden, Czech, Romania, Spain, France, Switzerland (French Speaking), Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia,
Switzerland (German Speaking) and UK.36 January 24-25, 2019 / London
02 a) M4: Re-Making M4 Content in English.
(€40,000)
1. What is the description of your project?
The M4 book and online teaching are an essential part of the training process.
Teams read and watch 2-3 hours of teaching before coming to a weekend
gathering. The book and video teachings have originally been created by Norwegian
church planters. Now that M4 Europe has expanded into 15 different nations\
people groups we need to remake our content with a wider group of contributors
from different nations as well as update the style. We want to review and update
our book as well as our video teaching. For the book, we will create a team that
will review the current book and update the text as well as add more stories, best
practices and examples from all over Europe. Also for the video teaching, we
want to have traditional teaching on screen, but also include interviews and panel
discussions to present the topics in a more engaging way and increase the learning
potential. Those who watch the teaching before coming to a weekend gathering will
have a higher level of engagement and the quality of conversation should increase.
Also, we will need to set up a translation system and provide funding and support for
nations to correctly subtitle these videos and translate the book.
2. Who is the target group? Church planters in all M4 nations, and specifically new
nations and the UK.

part of an effective system that includes assessment, coaching and team support.
We believe the system is sustainable and as the churches that go through this
training are planted, the fruit in these churches.
9. How are you going to measure results? How will you know your project is
successful? The project will be successful when the book is finished and the38 January 24-25, 2019 / London
teaching is on our online environment and nations have properly subtitled it and
using in as part of their national processes. This project will also be successful
when teams attending weekend gatherings come being better prepared and
informed to have better conversations, leading to more accurate actions plans
which we believe lead to better church plants. The M4 book and video teaching
are foundational for the to the entire process.
10. What is the geographical focus of your project?
Our focus is Europe (North, South, East and West).
02 b): M4 Ready Implementation
to New Nations; €25,000
1. What is the description of your project?
M4 Ready is a 10 month training course for potential church planters. The course
is online and is made up of 6 modules as well as mentoring throughout the entire
course. The 6 modules are, Church Planting, Personal Development, Evangelism,
Communication, Team Development and Discipleship. The course as been
created in English and is in a pilot run in Norway and Estonia. We need to now
further develop the program and translate it into 5-7 new nations and languages in
the next two years. We have learned that after a few cycles of M4 church planter
training, the pipeline can dry up and without a developmental feeder system
multiplication is greatly hindered. M4 Ready, when translated into indigenous
languages, including the online platform, videos and resources, will help nations to
expand their recruitment efforts as well as equip hundreds or young leaders in key
areas of ministry. We know that not everyone is a church planter, but this project
has the potential to impact an entire nation.

Potential church planters in M4 nations in Europe

b) Information about your organization:
1. What is the vision and mission of your organization?
Background: Exponential Europe initiative is coming from leaders involved in M4
Europe (M4Europe.com) and NC2P Europe (NC2P.org). After a NC2P gathering in
Berlin, February 2018, with 180 leaders from 27 countries in Europe, we felt the
time was right to launch a pan European Church planting conference. We linked
with Exponential in the US in July 2018 and started to form vision and board
in November/December 2018. Our goal is to make Exponential Europe to the
broadest platform for church reproduction and multiplication in Europe. A bi-yearly
Exponential conference should be owned as broad as possible, a platform for all
Church planting organizations in Europe, model of churches, denominations and
organizations, but should be narrow with the focus on multiplication. Our mission
is: Kingdom growth through reproducing and multiplying church movements that
impact our society. Vision: 10.000 reproducing and multiplying churches with a
Kingdom impact on the European continent by 2030.You can also read
