Exciting announcement

After 9 years of incredible ministry opportunities which took me to 15 countries (mostly in Europe but also to Central Asia, Korea and USA), as well as the regular training courses at our European centre in Switzerland, in December 2015 we will be stepping down as CEF missionaries. 

In January 2016, I (Gary) will commence a new ministry with Acts 29 as Assessment and Training Coordinator for Europe.  As a family we plan to remain in our home located in the southwest of Germany. This provides an ideal, central location for the ministry and ensures minimal disruption to the family.

Acts 29 is a single-issue network, that exists to encourage, resource, facilitate, support and equip churches to plant churches that will plant church-planting churches! My role will be to assess potential church planters in Europe and to help them get the training they need to become healthy church-planting leaders. I will also be developing the training side of the ministry.

Acts 29 is a diverse, global network of church-planting churches that aspires to be known for:

• Planting churches that plant churches
• Pursuing holiness and humility
• Being a radically diverse and global community
• Praying for conversions through evangelism 

Acts 29 will succeed to the extent that it: 

• Recruits men dedicated to leading church-planting churches
• Assesses men based on core competencies to lead church-planting churches
• Develops men who are planting or leading church-planting churches through coaching, training, and support

I'm very excited to have the opportunity to serve with Acts 29 and Claudia and I would value your prayers as we commence this new ministry. 

Acts 29 is funded by partner churches and individual donations. If you would like to support church planting efforts in Europe click here.
