Church Planting in Eastern Europe
I was shocked to hear Peter Dyhr of Denmark say that there are hundreds of new churches being planted in Europe and the Eastern Bloc. Secular Humanism and Communism had about destroyed Christianity in Scandinavia and Europe but God is doing a great work there now.
Peter works for the ECPN - European Church Planting Network and Pastors a new church plant in Copenhagen, Denmark which is a nation filled with dead state churches. Wait until your hear how they are doing it.
Peter works with every denomination and every ethnic group and has them cooperating to share the gospel. It was very exciting to hear what God is doing and Galina Chentsova and I were chatting with him about having the Russian Ministry Liferoute that she heads train the Russian speaking church leaders in the skills of healthy Christian living. The Sweeten Life Systems sponsored Liferoute is very successfuly bringing healing and growth in Russia and Ukraine. Peter wants the same kind of love, healing and growth to occur in the networks he facilitates.
Many of the new churches in Europe are organized around, now get this, Black Gospel Music!!! There are numerous secular groups singing Black Gospel all over Europe so the church planters are following the Spirit and using the music to draw people to Jesus. it is working and the churches are prospering. Praise God!
Remember on this Good Friday that the uprising is coming.
