Ministry Overview:

Greg is US-based, serving partners in Europe in the area of missional vitality (or church revitalization), refugee assistance, evangelism, and church planting. More than 17 years of work in Europe have yielded valuable cultural knowledge and numerous trusted partnerships. He combines quarterly ministry trips with online ministry. This has the benefit of creating stronger North American connections with ministry in Europe. Kristi is teaching and caring for her parents.

Greg’s ministry is focused in two areas:

• Missional Vitality—Many faithful, local churches need renewal to be missional. Churches need help to reach those who don’t yet believe in Jesus (over 97 percent of the population in the eastern part of Germany), and the millions of Middle Eastern and Ukrainian refugees. Together with a German team, MissionalVital Deutschland is developing materials, training, building out a network, and coaching leaders to help churches become healthy and missional.
• Mobilization—The short-term priority is recruiting and training people and teams from North America for outreach, refugee, and church-planting ministries alongside German and other European churches and ministries. The long-term goal is to raise up a new generation of global personnel who are called, committed, and equipped to serve in Europe.
