EASTERN EUROPE | Disciple Maker
Job Title: Disciple Maker
Length of Service: Mid-to-Long Term
Ministry Vision/Purpose: Our team is committed to living as people of Christ in Eastern Europe who boldly proclaim the Gospel by building trusted relationships, sharing Biblical truth, and calling all people to live transformed lives. In Eastern Europe, we are pursuing more opportunities for Christ to be heard and known, more individuals made new, more churches planted, more local leaders raised up, and more Kingdom movements spread in our country and beyond.
General Description: When people fill God’s role in their life with empty traditions, they don’t experience a meaningful relationship with God. They wander through life aimlessly and without purpose. They are deeply broken, hopeless, and discontent. The gospel message of the kingdom of God is that every person can have a meaningful relationship with God through Jesus Christ. When someone hears the gospel of the kingdom, it gives their life meaning and value. They wake up each morning full of joy, hope and peace. When people experience a meaningful relationship with God, their whole life changes!
Field background: The Eastern Europe Team was started in 2002 in a predominantly Muslim country that consists of three major people groups, one of which is a frontier unreached people group. People here have filled their lives with empty traditions, and hopelessness and purposelessness are rampant as their history is filled with war, hardship, turmoil, and corruption.
The need for the Gospel is apparent in this country as only 0.07% of the population are believers with a small number of evangelical, Christ-following fellowships prevalent. However, the country as a whole is still largely unreached with only 300-500 disciples in a population of 3 million. Where we live in the country is representative of these statistics, and does not yet have any evangelical fellowship. Therefore, as we have been changed by Christ and continue to grow as disciples, the Eastern Europe Team seeks to disciple and raise up locals who can lead the church in Eastern Europe and fulfill the Great Commission. We will teach and proclaim the Gospel, and we will walk alongside locals in trusted relationships for disciples to be made. In biblical community, we will pray, study Scripture, be Christlike in every way, and worship together. We are dedicated to prayer, biblical accountability, and the pursuit of servant leadership as a reflection of Christ. We desire for a discipleship movement to occur, churches to be planted, leaders to be raised up, and God to be glorified.
The Eastern Europe Team believes and trusts that our God has the power to do immeasurably more, and the Holy Spirit is moving in and amongst all people. As Jesus Christ embodied transformation through incarnational ministry, we seek to empower, encourage, and engage all people groups and communities in Eastern Europe. We believe a movement of believers throughout the country and beyond is possible, and we believe God desires a Kingdom movement of disciples.
