Dear Friends,
Most people in Europe have a vague acquaintance with Christianity, but no personal faith in Jesus Christ. In fact, only about 2% of Europeans know Jesus as Lord even though much of our Christian history took place in Europe.

I have long been interested in missions and although I have had many opportunities to work in Christian ministries here in the US my heart has been in reaching Europe. These ministry opportunities have helped me developed skills suitable for the many tasks involved in a missions office. Now I have the opportunity to use these skills in helping EuroTeam, a division of Greater Europe Mission, as they serve the churches, Bible schools, and missionaries throughout Europe. EuroTeam coordinates groups of North American Christians to serve on teams for two-three weeks assisting European churches and missionaries in various ways. These teams provide various services – from construction to teaching English or Computer skills or assisting at mission conferences for agencies serving Europe.
“Greater Europe Mission helps people in Europe find faith in Jesus Christ and grow in that faith. We do this by sharing our lives with people and helping them discover the message of the Bible for themselves through Bible study groups, church meetings, street theater, puppetry, sports, music, teaching and more. We reach out to orphans and AIDS patients. We send teams to help construct and repair buildings. We help people study the Bible through Distance Learning in many countries. We seek to come alongside the people and churches in Europe who are following Christ and participate in their efforts to reach the continent for Christ.”
I am currently compiling an email database of those who are interested in hearing from me while I am serving Europe through the EuroTeam office in Kandern, Germany. If you have an email address you would like me to include please email me at AFanger@GEMission.com .
In His Service,
Anna Fanger
