In Europe, we and many others are dedicated to know and grow in Christ and invite others to do the same. We strive to grow up in every way into Christ in order to build up His body in love. However, there are many of us committed to the commission of making disciples and don’t know one another and how God is working through His European body.

The goal of this particular Lausanne Europe initiative is to introduce disciple-makers in Europe to one another. By connecting this crucial group of gospel ministers, we will be able to collaborate with, encourage, exhort, support and learn from one another. We also seek to see more and more disciple-makers who multiply more disciple-makers. This network looks to reproduce itself via cohorts at least every two years. Our vision is that both older Christians will catch a new passion for disciple-making as well as new believers grow up with a mindset for training up others. The commitment for each cohort group is one meeting online a month for 90 minutes. Larger meetings of all cohorts together in person would be an optional time of training and exchange for a two-day session per year.

Topics that we’ll visit and revisit as we meet and discuss:

• understanding Biblical truths in disciple-making
• ethical issues and questions of disciple-making
• the challenges we encounter in disciple-making
• best practices of the past as well as innovative new methods

We will also:

• celebrate victories of gospel growth together
• build one another up in sharing particulars of discipleship endurance and faithfulness
• learn from one another and engage directly in new or renewing local discipleship efforts within the church
• provide fellowship for those who feel alone and those needing support from like-minded gospel workers
