 Deb Heefner God is up to something across Western Europe!! We've seen more people making decisions to receive Christ than we have in years, and slowly but surely God is answering our cries for more laborers to join us in the harvest!! It's like feeling the tremors before "the big earthquake" really hits....
I firmly believe that one of the key things that the Lord is up to is not just happening here in Europe, but across the world as He's alerting His people to begin to pray for Europe once again. As Andy Atkins has said, the prodigal continent of Europe needs to return home, and the prayers of God's people worldwide are a part of God's process here!!
Want some evidence of God's handiwork? As we start this new academic year we have27 Europeans who have joined staff in the Student Priority (5 years ago we only had 3 new staff join us), and another 26 Americans have come long term to labor alongside us. We now have ministries on over 90+ campuses across Western Europe (5 years ago there were only 66), and we have 20 interns "trying on staff" for this academic year!!
The Student Priority still has a long way to go in its efforts to take the gospel to every student in Europe, yet God's certainly at work! We have much to give Him thanks for, and a whole lot more to be on our knees about. I can't imagine a more exciting place to be than right here, right now, on the front row watching what God is up to in Europe!! |
