EMF Webinars

The early church grew meteorically through church planting. Europe is again in a situation where there are very few evangelical churches, so is church planting as important now as it was in the first years of Christianity? For EMF, church planting has always been at the heart of its mission focus.

Jean Woods, Pilar Herrera Carretero, Vivienne Birch and Jenny Mariotti have all been EMF missionaries (the latter in Italy, the others in Spain), serving for many years in different capacities, both by themselves or alongside their husbands. They will be discussing this important topic as a panel discussion, and enabling us to gain insight into the joys and trials of missionary life, and enabling us to understand how support the women workers in Europe more faithfully.

As Andrew Birch steps into the role of Mission Director, after being on the mission field in Spain with EMF for over 30 years, he presents his vision for the work of mission in Europe: What the main challenges are, where EMF's focus needs to be and what needs to be done for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ in this vital mission field.

As Steven Bowers steps down from the role of Mission Director after 3 years and many years on the executive committee and teaching in the School of Biblical Studies, he presents his unique view of the work of mission in Europe: How EMF has fulfilled its mission, how the work has changed, the joys and the trials in the work of the gospel.

A Spanish perspective. Why do we need to evangelize Roman Catholics? Does Roman Catholicism share the same gospel as the evangelical church? Do evangelicals need to understand the mindset of Roman Catholicism in order to communicate the gospel clearly? In this webinar José Moreno Berrocal, an EMF missionary and pastor in Alcázar de San Juan will be exploring these questions.
