Cru Leadership Impact Europe--Paul and Sue Johnson
cru.org

Thank you for your ongoing partnership with us to spread the Gospel in Europe, the world’s least evangelized continent. Take heart: over the past couple years, leaders there are exhibiting a growing interest in the spiritual side of life!

As a result, LeaderImpact (LI), which has a solid presence in several Eastern European nations, has seen the number of small groups increase. Even more exciting is that Western Europe’s start-ups are taking hold and growing in Germany, Ireland, and Portugal. Plus. our sister ministry, the Christian Embassy has begun the development process in Paris, France!  

In April, Sue and I helped plan the Synergy Conference in Thessaloniki, Greece. LI and Momentum Europe (ME) attracted 70 Christian leaders from the US and Europe to help them envision how they can help reach leaders across the continent for Christ. 

In June, Sue and I returned to the US after the better part of 17 years serving with LI in Poland and then Albania. Our new positions are with ME, helping to resource LI’s expansion in Europe, through

  • sending speakers for outreach events,

  • providing virtual mentors through monthly Zoom calls,

  • having prayer calls 4 days each month to lift them before the throne of grace, and

  • by raising funds to support their events and translation costs of new materials.

In addition, Sue and I are leading the planning team for ME’s US conference this February in Coral Gables (Miami) Fl. Please pray for just the right leaders to attend this event to encourage them to begin or increase the investment of their LIFE (Leadership, Influence, Finances and Expertise) to reach their peers in Europe.

Finally, the two of us will bring a group to Europe this spring or summer, possibly to Italy with hopes that a leadership ministry start-up there will result. We’ll also visit Albania to encourage seekers in their LI small groups and new believers who are now active in Bible preaching churches. 

We are truly grateful for the prayers of God’s people at Christ Presbyterian Church as well as the church’s faithful monthly contributions that have allowed us to serve Him. Thank you for continuing to serve alongside us as we resource the evangelization and discipleship of European leaders who can help transform their nations and the continent for Christ!
