European Christian Sports Union UK

Vision: To make disciples of all nations in Europe for Christ in the world of sport, play and health and fitness. Target Group: sports club, health and fitness club

We aim to take the gospel to every sports club, health and fitness club, country, city and community in Europe as defined by UEFA (51 countries) and have been working together to this end for 30 years with significant growth over the last seven years. Sports participation is huge with 38% of Europeans playing sport each week.

We want to communicate the gospel in the neutral territory of the universities of Europe, as they are the seedbed of ideas and a place where many future leaders are formed. If we can help some of these students turn to Christ and begin to put down deep roots in him, it is our conviction that this will have an impact across European cultures similar to what happened following the reformation, when the gospel took root in the universities through the conversion of Luther, Calvin and many others.

Projects: • Identification and equipping of 120 university evangelists - in all 40 European countries training conference, programmes and mission weeks. • The Lausanne Europe 2020 Conference & Process Dynamic Gospel - The Lausanne Movement has been connecting influencers with ideas for global mission. • Seed Funding for the Balkan Institute Good News - the first year of a new project indigenous to the Balkans for the purpose of an evangelism, discipleship and training programme.

Target Group: emerging Global Youth Culture of age 17 - 35

01 Josiah Venture JV

a) General information

Name of organization: Josiah Venture EXIT Tour Ministry: 91,000 EUR Gospel to Schools Ministry: 50,000 EUR Total needs for 2019 in EUR: 141,000 EUR Contact person name, phone number, email: Pavel Schwarz, +420 715 157 617, [email protected] Fiscal sponsor (beneficiary name), banking info for European donations: Josiah Venture, P.O. Box 4317, 60189 Wheaton, IL, USA. Account:1115001654735 BIC:CHASUS33XXX Fiscal sponsor (beneficiary name), banking info for USA donations: As above. b) Information about your organization

1. What is the vision and mission of your organization? Vision: A movement of God among the youth of Central and Eastern Europe that finds its home in the local church and transforms society. Mission: To equip young leaders to fulfill Christ’s commission through the local church.

2. Who is your target group? Youth. Ages 12-20+.

3. What need does your project try to meet? What is your idea how to meet the needs? What is your strategy and plan, how to realize this idea? Central and Eastern Europe has a great need for the gospel of Jesus Christ. In the 14 countries where Josiah Venture staff serve there are over 150 million people – and less than 1% evangelical believers. Yet in these same countries, we are experiencing a great openness and responsiveness to the gospel among young people. It is essential that the church respond to these open doors, since this could result in a change in the spiritual climate of entire countries, and many thousands of lives saved

28 January 24-25, 2019 / London

The church in Europe currently sits at a key crossroad. Because of the effect of atheist communism in Central and Eastern Europe, and secularism in Western Europe, Christianity has been on the decline for a number of years. At the same time, the open doors of freedom in the east and a new interest in spirituality across the entire region has opened key doors for the gospel. If the church can mobilize for the current opportunities, huge inroads could be made in a key area of the world.

As we have seen from the revolutions in Eastern Europe, young people are often at the forefront of key changes in history. They are the most reachable, moldable, and open to change. They have time, energy, and often long to give their lives for a cause. Since they are not yet set in their ways, they are willing to risk and pioneer, challenge the status quo and dream.

Because of this, healthy youth ministries in local churches are essential to growth and renewal across the European region. This is the place where future leaders are being shaped, and new methods and strategies are being forged. Youth ministry is also the context in which lost people can most easily be reached.

In spite of this, many European youth leaders have no specific training on how to effectively lead their local youth ministry. Learning a philosophy of ministry based on the life of Christ, and drawing from the experiences of others who are effective in a European context can powerfully increase their effectiveness. Quality preparation can also keep them from becoming discouraged or burned out.

It is essential to teach young leaders to root their ministry strategy in the Word of God, and learn to make disciples in the steps of Jesus. Because of that, it is important to develop in them not just the techniques of youth ministry, but the theology as well. This will allow them to continue to be effective in any ministry role the Lord calls them into as they grow and mature.

4. What is your organizational capacity? Staff, operational budget etc. Budget: $11,228,850.00 n total 66% of the budget consists of salaries and ministry expenses of the missionaries in the field that make the difference for the Kingdom. Also, grants to local ministry partners to support ministry programs in all 14 JV countries represent 18% of the budget. On the other hand, operations and admin expenses account EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 29

01 a) EXIT Tour

1. What is the description of your project? EXIT Tour is a team of youth speakers and a rock band that travels to high schools with a program designed to help schools fulfill their “prevention” requirements, but from a Christian and Biblical perspective. The Exit team works with the entire student body for a day, and then invites them into follow up discussions in local churches. An evangelistic concert at the end often draws the students from the schools, many of which are hearing the gospel for the first time.

Name of organization: M4 Europe Name of project 1: M4:Re-Making M4 Content in English. €40,000 Name of project 2: M4 Ready Implementation to New Nations; €25,000 Total needs for 2019 in EUR: €65.000 Contact person: Øivind Augland, [email protected] 004795042260 Bank information: Sparebanken Sør, Bank address: Postboks 200, 4662 KRISTIANSAND, IBAN-nr: NO 2928014424018, SWIFT-address/BIC: SPSONO22, Bank Account address: M4 Europe, ATT, Øivind Augland Epleveien 26, 4635 Kristiansand, E-mail: [email protected] b) Information about your organization

1. What is the vision and mission of your organization? Our vision is to ignite multiplying church planting movements all over Europe. M4 works across denominational and theological boundaries. It‘s all about: New people - new communities - that impact society. More than 200 new churches have been planted through M4 in the last 4-5 years and some of them have started to multiply.

2. Who is your target group? What need does your project try to meet? The target groups are on three levels: 1. Train key national church planting leaders in the M4 process and help them to start in their nations. 2. Help church planters and their team to succeed in planting healthy reproducing churches in their context. 3. Recruitment of potential church planters and leaders through the M4ready recruitment process. Needs that we see are: We provide a church planting leadership pipeline for denominations and organization in Europe. Through this, we meet the need through: M4ready: recruitment of potential church planters and leaders. M4 church planting training: Ongoing support to the church planter and their team in the first phase of church planting. Through this they avoid many unnecessary mistakes and the success rate of the church planting is increased. EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 35

3. What is your idea how to meet the needs? After a three year (2009 – 2012) development phase in Norway, M4 the last 5-6- year, has expanded from Norway to fifteen nations in Europe. We support indigenous national church planting leaders to implement a recruitment process (M4Ready) and training processes (M4 training), to help the church planter and their team be successful in the first 3-5 years of the church plant.

4. What is your strategy and plan, how to realize this idea? We identify key church planting leaders from different denominations in a nation and train them in the M4 process, using the church planting ABC’s: Assessment, Basic training (M4 process) and Coaching. We support them in the first M4 cycle’s in their nations (2-3 year). We do not launch in a nation until we have an indigenous leadership group that is committed to the following five areas: • Implement at least two M4 cycle’s in their nation (5+ year commitment from launch) • Within the first five years, make M4 fully indigenous in their own language and culture. • Within the first five years, start to give it away investing in other regions in the nations (Russia, Sweden and Spain have multiple processes running in more than one place) or other nations (Latvia developing Russia, Czech - Poland and Slovak, Romania - Ukraine). We want to see nations serving nations. • Every year you commit to meet with the national team in a learning community with leaders from all other M4 nations to learn and develop and plan for the future.

• What is your organizational capacity? Staff, operational budget etc. The main capacity is in the 100+ leaders from the fifteen nations that understand the process and language of M4 church planting training. M4 is a relational network with a minimum of overhead and organization where the people involved raise their own support to serve. Our operational budget is mainly development projects supported by different large and small donors. To run M4 today, we have an operational budget (Overhead cost) of approximately €30,000 per year.

• What is the geographical focus of your organization? Our focus is Europe (North, south, East and west). Today M4 is serving

02 a) M4: Re-Making M4 Content in English. (€40,000)

1. What is the description of your project? The M4 book and online teaching are an essential part of the training process. Teams read and watch 2-3 hours of teaching before coming to a weekend gathering. The book and video teachings have originally been created by Norwegian church planters. Now that M4 Europe has expanded into 15 different nations\ people groups we need to remake our content with a wider group of contributors from different nations as well as update the style. We want to review and update our book as well as our video teaching. For the book, we will create a team that will review the current book and update the text as well as add more stories, best practices and examples from all over Europe. Also for the video teaching, we want to have traditional teaching on screen, but also include interviews and panel discussions to present the topics in a more engaging way and increase the learning potential. Those who watch the teaching before coming to a weekend gathering will have a higher level of engagement and the quality of conversation should increase. Also, we will need to set up a translation system and provide funding and support for nations to correctly subtitle these videos and translate the book.

02 b): M4 Ready Implementation to New Nations; €25,000

1. What is the description of your project? M4 Ready is a 10 month training course for potential church planters. The course is online and is made up of 6 modules as well as mentoring throughout the entire course. The 6 modules are, Church Planting, Personal Development, Evangelism, Communication, Team Development and Discipleship. The course as been created in English and is in a pilot run in Norway and Estonia. We need to now further develop the program and translate it into 5-7 new nations and languages in the next two years. We have learned that after a few cycles of M4 church planter training, the pipeline can dry up and without a developmental feeder system multiplication is greatly hindered. M4 Ready, when translated into indigenous languages, including the online platform, videos and resources, will help nations to expand their recruitment efforts as well as equip hundreds or young leaders in key areas of ministry. We know that not everyone is a church planter, but this project has the potential to impact an entire nation.

After a NC2P gathering in Berlin, February 2018, with 180 leaders from 27 countries in Europe, we felt the time was right to launch a pan European Church planting conference. We linked with Exponential in the US in July 2018 and started to form vision and board in November/December 2018. Our goal is to make Exponential Europe to the broadest platform for church reproduction and multiplication in Europe. A bi-yearly Exponential conference should be owned as broad as possible, a platform for all Church planting organizations in Europe, model of churches, denominations and organizations, but should be narrow with the focus on multiplication. Our mission is: Kingdom growth through reproducing and multiplying church movements that impact our society. Vision: 10.000 reproducing and multiplying churches with a Kingdom impact on the European continent by 2030. EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 41

1. Who is your target group? What need does your project try to meet? Geographically our target group are leaders in Europe on three levels: • Potential church planters, pioneers and multipliers • Leaders of churches, organisation, networks and hub churches interested in church planting • Nationals and pan european leaders for church planting and and leaders for reproducing and Multiplying churches and church network We try to meet the needs of bringing the church in Europe from maintenance to mission and from adding to reproducing and multiplication. The end goal is to see hundred thousands of people coming to faith through a churches that start reproducing and multiplying disciples, leaders and communities on all level.

2. What is your idea how to meet the needs? We will do this by: Learn: Create a place for mutual learning, inspiration and empowerment for multiplying and reproducing church planting of all kind in the European context.

03 Prisoner Fellowship International PFI

Introduction

Prison Fellowship International is a global fellowship of prison ministries that are changing the culture from the inside out, through the undeniable power of the gospel, evidenced in the lives of prisoners and their families. We started in 1979 with just three founding countries and the movement grew significantly in the early years, particularly in the developing world. Reaching 50 countries by 1990, Prison Fellowship International successfully raised awareness around the world for prisoners and their families as the local church and volunteers followed the call of scripture to visit prisoners and demonstrate the love of Christ in word and deed. Today among all national affiliates, PFI engages over 1,000 paid staff and board members, and trains, equips, and mobilizes over 45,000 volunteers in 119 countries and territories. These indigenous, church-based, self-funded and self-governed national ministries make up the largest, most extensive network of national Christian ministries working in the criminal justice field.

Our ability to fulfill the mission of Prison Fellowship International to engage the Christian community to pursue justice and healing in response to crime, is vitally and totally dependent on the strength of our national ministries. They must be vibrant and mature, and consistently achieving long-term, positive impacts in the lives of prisoners and their families. To ensure that we have a growing base of strong, enduring national affiliates, Prison Fellowship International created our program partnership model to deliver quality programs to those we serve while growing the local capacity of our national affiliates.

A strategy for empowerment: Program partnerships

Prison Fellowship International has developed a sustainable, program delivery and capacity building system that we call Program Partnerships. In partnership with our national ministries, Prison Fellowship International provides a program model, startup funding, and support to launch the initiative. By operating the program according to the agreed upon standards, national ministries are given the tools and training to recruit additional volunteers, improve the local profile and standing of their 46 January 24-25, 2019 / London organization, and identify and engage local donors to provide ongoing support. Program Partnerships are strategic to Prison Fellowship International because they position us to add value to individual national ministries in a clear, meaningful, and locally sustainable way, ultimately enhancing their overall capacity and impact. Program Partnerships intentionally stretch our national ministries in five key areas: board development, church and volunteer mobilization, fundraising, planning & budgeting, and relationships with prison officials ensuring ongoing strength and resilience.

This program partnership model is utilized to implement our three key programs around the world:

• PROGRAM 1: Children of Prisoners Program The mission of The Children of Prisoners Program is to rescue, restore, and rebuild the lives of poor and vulnerable children of prisoners worldwide. Because Prison Fellowship International is uniquely positioned to find these children, we are able to play a role in preventing further trauma, trafficking, and exploitation. Through 1:1 sponsorship, The Children of Prisoners Program serves children in eight of the poorest countries around the world and by 2020 our goal is to have 10,000 sponsored children in the program. Providing holistic care in four key areas— spiritual care, safety, health and education—the ultimate goal is to produce resilient children by overcoming their trauma and enabling them to thrive when they enter adulthood. • PROGRAM 2: The Sycamore Tree Project The Sycamore Tree Project is an intensive program that brings groups of crime victims into prison to meet with groups of unrelated offenders. Based on the Gospel of Luke and specifically the story of Zacchaeus, they talk about the effects of crime, the harms it causes, and how to make things right. Using a tested discussion guide, a trained facilitator opens up conversations about responsibility, confession, repentance, forgiveness, amends and reconciliation. Offenders explore ways of making restitution for the harm caused by their criminal behavior. Victims consider ways they can continue their journey toward healing and restoration. By 2020 we are working to get 135,000 prisoners and victims to use the program annually over the next 10 years. • PROGRAM 3: The Prisoner‘s Journey The Prisoner‘s Journey (TPJ) is an evangelism and discipleship program built with prisoners in mind. It is structured, repeatable, and scalable. It is adaptable within diverse religious and cultural contexts and designed to address the spiritual EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 47

and psychosocial needs of traumatized prisoners through a study of the Gospel of Mark based on the powerful resource created by Christianity Explored. Each graduate receives a certificate of completion, their first bible, and an opportunity to continue their scripture engagement through discipleship. By the end of 2018, we anticipate that The Prisoner‘s Journey will be running in 41 countries and 663 prisons. We will have shared the gospel with 567,084 prisoners and 233,989 will graduate. PFI’s goal by 2020, is to transform the lives of 1 million prisoners in 60 countries around the world.

A radically different approach evangelism The Prisoner’s Journey takes a radically different approach to evangelism and discipleship for prisoners. Unlike other programs, it is a comprehensive, end-to-end endeavor. It includes everything from a plan for promoting the program in prison to the provision of ongoing discipleship opportunities after the course is finished. It is a structured, repeatable, and scalable program. The Prisoner’s Journey is easy to use, meets the requirements of most prison authorities, and can be implemented by any of our more than 119 national affiliates in prisons within their own countries. In partnership with Christianity Explored, The Prisoner’s Journey was created to reveal the gospel without addition or manipulation, instead letting “…the gospel tell the gospel.” The results have been incredible. To date, in 41 countries around the world, 567,084 prisoners have been reached with the gospel. 233,989 have graduated and 153,236 are actively deepening their relationship with Jesus through ongoing discipleship. This course takes Jesus at His word when He said, “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself” (John 12:32, NIV). In countries where we are running The Prisoner’s Journey, we already see tangible impact. The change in prisoners’ lives is miraculous—just listen to the words of this Bulgarian prisoner:

“After I finished TPJ, I was very moved by the fact that it allowed me to learn more about Jesus. With the chaplain’s help, I then took steps toward Christianity and soon after became a Christian. Prior to TPJ, I had written a hopeless letter to my husband, who was also serving a sentence in another prison, requesting a divorce after I finished my sentence. He agreed. With Lord’s help I was paroled and released. Now that I was a Christian I decided to keep my family together by staying with my husband. I visited him in prison, told him about TPJ, and asked him to stay married. He then signed up for TPJ, graduated, and became a Christian. Since he completed the program he has also been released and come to live with me. Before encountering TPJ we were both Muslims.” 48 January 24-25, 2019 / London

Because Prison Fellowship International national affiliates are indigenously based, they rely on close partnerships with the local church to engage prisoners and their families both behind bars and after their release. In the case of The Prisoner‘s Journey, local church members are the primary volunteers who delivery programming in prison. This creates a natural connection for prisoners who are released to fold into the local church. For those who remain incarcerated, the growth of the “church behind the walls” creates an ongoing fellowship among prisoners who have participated in The Prisoner‘s Journey and profess faith in Christ.

Gospel transformation in Europe Europe has played a significant role in the history of the world. Since the middle ages, it has been the trendsetter in science, philosophy, and theology. However, Christianity is on the decline in modern Europe. In 1900, 68% of all Christians were in Europe. By 2000, that estimate had fallen to 26% and is expected to fall even further to 16% by 2050. Thankfully, we believe that God is at work among “the least of these” in Europe. With active affiliates in 30 countries throughout the European region, prisoners and their families are being set free by the gospel through our prisoner evangelism and discipleship program, The Prisoner‘s Journey, as well as other family and community serving programs. Prison Fellowship International is currently running The Prisoner‘s Journey in six countries throughout Europe: Spain, Bulgaria, Portugal, Albania, Czech Republic and Russia and through it, God is stirring in the hearts of men and women in some of the darkest most forgotten places: the prisons. We believe that as God changes the hearts and lives of prisoners, His impact extends from the individual, to the family, then the community and beyond.

03 a) Sharing the gospel with prisoners in Albania

The Albanian prison system is run by the Ministry of Justice and oversees 22 prisons and 5,226 prisoners, including pre-trial detainees. Albanian prisons are generally small with an average population of 348 prisoners. The prisons often operate at over 120% of their capacity and over 50% of those imprisoned are pre-trial detainees, many of whom will wait two years before their trials. Three years ago, the Albanian government opened the door for PF Albania to implement Prison Fellowship International’s prisoner evangelism and discipleship program, The Prisoner‘s Journey (TPJ), in every prison with access to almost all the country’s prisoners. At the end of this summer, PF Albania completed the second quarter of its third program EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 49 year. Since its launch, PF Albania has reached 5,187 prisoners through 131 Courses in 15 prisons. The third quarter was their second highest producing in its program history. The first three years began with great hopefulness but also brought a multitude of challenges. The national affiliate has persevered in spite of these difficulties and is beginning to see some progress. In Rrogozhine Prison, the prison director is allowing the pastor to pray with him. PF Albania has never heard of a prison director engaging in prayer like this. They are hopeful that it’s a sign of change and of increased access and opportunity for the program.

Over the course of the next three years, PF Albania expects to reach 7,500 prisoners with the gospel of which 2,700 will graduate from The Prisoner‘s Journey. 1,350 are expected to go on to further discipleship as a part of the local church or the church behind the walls.

Conclusion Jesus was a prisoner. He was arrested, taken away by soldiers, and held captive. He understands what prisoners feel—anger, fear, loneliness, alienation, and abandonment. He understands their situation. And through The Prisoner‘s Journey, we invite prisoners to join him on a journey of hope, grace, mercy, and forgiveness —a journey that will lead them to Him.

50 January 24-25, 2019 / London

“For the first time in my life, I feel like that empty space inside my heart that I have tried on my own to fill is not empty anymore…my wish is to be a servant of the Almighty God, inside and outside prison. I feel blessed and happy now that Jesus is in my life.” - The Prisoner’s Journey evangelism and discipleship participant

03 b) Sharing the Gospel with prisoners in Bulgaria

More than three-quarters of Bulgarians subscribe to Eastern Orthodoxy. Sunni Muslims are the second-largest religious community and constitute 10% of Bulgaria‘s overall religious makeup, although a majority of them are not observant and find the use of Islamic veils in schools unacceptable. Less than 3% of the population are affiliated with other religions and 11.8% are irreligious or do not self-identify with a religion. This past spring, PF Bulgaria began its fourth year of our prisoner evangelism and discipleship program, The Prisoner‘s Journey (TPJ). TPJ is currently running in 13 prisons around the country. By the end of 2018, PF Bulgaria will have invited 8,160 prisoners to discover Jesus on an 8-session journey through the Gospel of Mark. We expect 2,800 will accept the invitation and graduate. Following graduation, 1,120 will go on to deepen their relationship with Christ through ongoing discipleship.

Already, 3,545 prisoners—more than 50% of the prisoner population that PF Bulgaria has access to—have graduated from The Prisoner‘s Journey (TPJ) and received their own bible in their language. PF Bulgaria is the highest performing TPJ program partner among European ministries and the only partner exceeding its annual goals. PF Bulgaria (PFB) is well regarded by government officials, prison governors, chaplains and even correctional staff due to their long-term commitment to minister to prisoners. Over the last 20 years of ministry, it the leadership of PF Bulgaria has formed vital relationships with key stakeholders in the prison administration and government. They are extremely well supported by decision makers who are ensuring ongoing access to prisoners in their country. God is already at work transforming lives in Bulgaria. Read above about one prisoner and her family and how the gospel has changed their lives. Projected program outputs and costs for the second-generation partnership are as follows. Your one-year investment €25,000 will help us reach 8,160 prisoners with the gospel. Of those, 2,800 will graduate and 1,120 will deepen their relationship with Jesus through ongoing discipleship.

03 c) Sharing the gospel with prisoners in Czech Republic

The Czech Republic has one of the least religious populations in the world with 75% to 79% of people not declaring any religion or faith in polls and the percentage of convinced atheists being third highest only behind China and Japan. The Czech people have been historically characterized as „tolerant and even indifferent towards religion“. But starting this fall, PF Czech Republic launched The Prisoner‘s Journey and by the end of the first three years, will invite 2,700 prisoners to discover Jesus, graduating 490 prisoners, or nearly 10 percent of the prison population. The total three-year investment to launch The Prisoner‘s Journey in the Czech Republic is €36,379 over three years. Both Prison Fellowship International and PF Czech Republic will invest in the project, with PF Czech Republic investing 31 percent of the capital required. PFCZ has strong support from a limited group of key stakeholders within elected 52 January 24-25, 2019 / London government, prison administration, churches, and key donors. These supporters are sufficient to launch TPJ in the Czech Republic. In an update provided in December of 2018 the leadership of PF Czech Republic shared that the program has been catching on very well among all the prisons. Not only are the prisoners eager to engage and be a part of TPJ but several of the chaplains have expressed excitement about the program as well. According to the program director, one of the chaplains said that reading through the materials has changed the way he reads the Bible! And another chaplain is working to make this the standard course for prisoners in all of the Czech Republic! Amazingly TPJ has even started to have an impact outside of prison as well. When the program director went pick up the materials from the printer, he spent four hours talking with them about Jesus because they were so intrigued by the course! God is already at work through TPJ in Czech.

Fiscal sponsor (beneficiary name), banking info for European donations: Account Name: RZIM Zacharias Trust Bank: Triodos Bank Bank Address: Deanery Road, Bristol, BS1 5AS, UK Sort Code 16-58-10 Account No: 20776926 IBAN: GB11RBOS16003410000856 (Quoting Ref. 20776926 RZIM Zacharias Trust) SWIFT BIC: RBOSGB2LXXX (Quoting Ref. 20776926 RZIM Zacharias Trust) b) Information about your organization

1. What is the vision and mission of your organization? Our organisation seeks to share and defend the credibility and beauty of the gospel in all settings, whether in government, media, academia or the business world, or by reaching the next generation of culture shapers through university missions.

At the same time, we seek to equip the church to give her back her confidence in sharing the gospel by giving members a better grasp and understanding that there are meaningful answers to people’s intellectual objections and heartfelt concerns about the gospel. Thus, our mission is two-fold, hence our slogan ‘helping the thinker believe and the believer think’.

The Zacharias Trust is the Regional Headquarters of RZIM (Ravi Zacharias International Ministries) for Europe, Middle East and Africa. It has been a registered UK charity since 1997. 60 January 24-25, 2019 / London

2. Who is your target group? What need does your project try to meet? Our target audiences are: • Culture shapers – those in government, academia, business, media and the arts. • The next generation of culture shapers – those in universities • Youth, through events such as REBOOT • The church – to equip the church to share the gospel confidently

3. What is your idea how to meet the needs? We seek for all our speakers to deliver at least 60% of their ministry in evangelistic settings, with up to 40% being training of Christians to help them regain their confidence in sharing their faith. These training opportunities are, of course, complemented by our longer-term training at our UK Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics which raises up future speakers and evangelists, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to help proliferate the message of the gospel in their own contexts and countries.

The Zacharias Trust has several ongoing initiatives to restore confidence to Christians and equip them to answer the objections and heartfelt concerns of those in their own sphere of influence. As well as training days in various locations and a week-long Summer School in Oxford, we regularly post content including articles and videos through www.zachariastrust.org and www.youtube.com to meet this need as well.

Moreover, the RZIM online Academy (www.rzimacademy.org), launched 5 years ago, is a systematic online apologetics training programme which has been taken up by more than 6,000 people in 100 different countries since its launch, with advanced apologetics modules now available, thus complementing our training in churches and beyond. The introductory programme is already available in French, Spanish and German, too.

4. What is your strategy and plan, how to realize this idea? To raise up more evangelist-apologists – through discipleship, mentoring and training at our Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics (OCCA) and through our Proclama training in Europe (where our team equip gifted university students). Ten years ago, we had 9 speakers around the globe, none in Europe. Now we have 84 evangelist-apologists. More than half of these trained on our OCCA one- year programme, so this is a critical pipeline for us as a ministry but also for other EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 61

churches, ministries and organisations who hold evangelism highly.

Our plan is to train and equip more emerging evangelist-apologists at our Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics from all over the globe so that these people can share the Christian faith at the highest level and equip their churches.

Secondly, we seek to proliferate the message of the gospel through using all forms of media – websites, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, the RZIM Academy and RZIM Connect, with livestreaming from the new RZIM Institute so that people can have ongoing access to learning to better defend their faith from their own home or in groups at churches.

5. What is your organizational capacity? Staff, operational budget etc. Globally, RZIM has a budget of almost US$40 million, with more than 225 staff, of which one-third are apologists and apologists in training. Each year, we have around 20 new students studying at OCCA and around 12 Doctoral Fellows linking into the OCCA while undertaking Ph.Ds.

6. What is the geographical focus of your organization? Globally, RZIM is divided into three regions: (1) Asia, with speaking team based in Indonesia, Singapore and Australia (2) The Americas – with speaking team in the US, Canada and an office in Peru. (3) Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Seven years ago, we had no speakers in this area. Now we have speakers based in: Europe – Romania, Macedonia, Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland Middle East - Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Africa - South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Uganda.

05 a) The Project - Expanding ministry in Romania

1. What is the description of your project? Expanding our ministry and impact in Romania

2. Who is the target group? There are 19 million people living in Romania and a further 4 million Romanians living outside the country, with over half of these expatriates based in Spain, Italy and the UK. 62 January 24-25, 2019 / London

3. What are the projected activities, outputs and outcomes of your project for 2019 or 2019/20? There are several initiatives planned for 2019 to expand the work being done in Romania: • Cluj Mission: 11th-16th March 2019. Following a successful mission in Cluj in 2018, a team of 10 OCCA students with OCCA tutors Max Baker-Hytch and Tom Price will join resident area leader and evangelist-apologist Vlad Criznic for a week-long mission in Cluj. This will comprise of 10 talks, five of which will take place in the university and 5 in a secular/neutral venue. In 2018, audiences for these talks were between 90 and 250 people, so the anticipated accumulative audience for March 2019 is over 1500 people. As well as the talks themselves, OCCA students will be engaging with seekers through ‘belief-mapping’ – a survey intended to reveal a person’s worldview and spark conversation about issues of faith and ways of seeing the world. The total cost of this mission is €5,000. • Book Publishing: March 2019. To coincide with the Cluj mission, the publishing of a very helpful, topical book is planned. Written by Vlad Criznic and based on the questions received during the 2018 mission from seekers and sceptics, the book answers 12 key objections people have about the Christian faith. 4,000 copies of this will be printed in time for the March 2019 mission (costing €4,000) as well as booklet copies of the individual questions printed separately (costing €5,000) resulting in a total cost of €9,000. This will be a very helpful resource for the team to have available to offer answers for the questions that have arisen in that same city and context, and will continue to be an effective resource wherever Vlad speaks. • New Team Member: August 2019. Currently Vlad Criznic is working on his own as RZIM in Romania. We are seeking to strengthen our team and welcome a new speaker in August 2019. Titus Buita has been identified as an apologist-evangelist to join Vlad in Cluj thus doubling the current reach of RZIM in Romania. Titus has a BA from Moody Bible Institute and a Master’s in Philosophy from the University of St. Andrew’s. Total costs for having Titus join the team, including salary, travel, taxes and on costs is €20,000. • Media Advancement: January 2019. Not content to double the reach of RZIM through an additional team member, current plans are in place to proliferate the message of the Gospel through various media platforms. In January 2019, RZIM Romania will release two videos a month featuring short answers to tough questions on Facebook and YouTube. Tests have already EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 63

been conducted with the release of some sample videos which have already received up to 30,000 views. The production and editing of this content requires hiring a part-time video producer at the cost of €10,000 a year. With this skilled help, the aim is to advance towards weekly videos being released. Additionally, January 2019 marks the start of a weekly podcast being released which will also be played on Christian radio in Romania.

4. What is the budget of your project? Last year budget and planned budget for the next year. The total budget for the proposed projects above is €44,000. The budget for Romania last fiscal year was €150,530 and the planned budget is €194,530.

5. What is your fundraising strategy? A list of your donors. How much of the needs are already covered for 2019? We work with Christians, trusts and foundations around the world who have a passion to spread the beauty and credibility of the Gospel. We are constantly seeking to come alongside new people and organisations who can help us develop in a variety of countries. We look at our budget globally, with all the competing demands, and are very much looking for European partners to help us grow our European ministry, given pressures on US funds to support other areas around the globe.

6. What is the planned schedule of the project? The first planned projects are the increase in media content which will take place in January 2019. This will be followed by the publishing of essential resources (book and booklets) which will be ready for March 2019, when the Cluj mission will take place. The last part of the project will take place in August 2019 when Titus will join the team – and that’s when even more ministry will take place, so this is a beginning rather than an end to the project!

7. What other organizations do you partner with? RZIM Romania currently partners with the Romanian Missionary Society for a series of events to reach the Romanian diaspora.

8. What step will you take to make sure the fruit is sustainable? As Vlad is based in Cluj, Romania, he will remain in ongoing relationship and conversation with key partners, organisations and churches to make sure 64 January 24-25, 2019 / London

that individuals are supported at whatever stage of their faith journey they find themselves at, being able to recommend further events or ‘seekers courses’ or churches/communities that will be beneficial. RZIM Zacharias Trust seeks to continue to grow and develop the work it is doing, adding necessary team and infrastructure to sustain the work already being done and that planned for the future. Thus, Titus joining will help with additional follow-up and us mentoring other young evangelists in Romania.

9. How are you going to measure results? How will you know your project is successful? Through a number of methods: • Number of events – evangelistic and equipping • Number attending events • Feedback cards to determine responses • Production of the book and booklets on time • Progress of Titus in evangelism and equipping others • Development of a core group of emerging young evangelists that we will train • Media hits from new initiatives on radio/podcasts etc

10. What is the geographical focus of your project? Romania, and expatriate Romanians. EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 65

06 Youth for Christ Eastern Europe

06 a) New Cluster in Georgia

Help Youth for Christ set up: • 15 Church-based afterschool clubs, reaching • 375 vulnerable children with a holistic continuum of evangelism, discipleship and leadership development • In the unreached nation of Georgia in the Caucasus mountains • An experienced team, want to expand a proven model and request • 52640 Euro (57,900 USD) as a onef-off grand for a 3-year project

BACKGROUND: YFC Georgia has a unique program providing very vulnerable children with outstanding church-based afterschool care. This work is motivated by a ‘children at risk’ coordinator, a staff member of YFC Georgia, that works to mobilise and equip churches to start an afterschool club (called a ‘Day-Centre’) and who teach the churches to find their own income for this new activity.

YFC Georgia hopes to scale the day centres from 3 to 15 by the end of 2021. This would increase the number of children reached from 72 to 375. Every year we offer the children the opportunity to come to camp and during most weekends we organise sports activities – mostly football/soccer.

To start a new cluster in Georgia will cost us $167,618 over 3 years. We are requesting $57,900 from the EGCC.

We are passionate about reaching children and young people with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and through that raise a new generation of believers focused on serving and supporting their community.

SELECTION SIEVE FOR NEW PROJECTS: The Children at Risk Coordinator attempt to work geographically and use a simple sieve to sift new project sites: 1. Are there compelling local needs amongst children to require the intervention? 2. Is the leadership of the local church solidly behind the project? 3. Is there an adequate base of volunteers in the local church? 4. Is there an appropriate physical site to operate from? 66 January 24-25, 2019 / London

5. Is there an understanding and appreciation for the values of the program? 6. Is there a willingness and ability to – in time – carry to cost of continuing the program? 7. Is there capacity in YFC to support a new project at this time?

GRADUATING THE PROJECTS: Projects run through a cycle of four distinct phases and part of the job of the Children at Risk Coordinator is to coach through these development phases. These phases are: 1. Investigation: Is this a good site to start a new project? 2. Set-up: Building the right conditions for the project 3. Operation: Training the team and the wider community in how to run the project 4. Graduation: Enlisting the team of volunteers in helping set up more similar projects nearby and covering their own costs from local donations.

YFC seeks $57,900 as a one-off grant towards a 3-year project. If EGCC can support this initiative then YFC would be extremely grateful. Thank you for the consideration!

06 b) Hire a senior regional Program Manager

Help Youth for Christ scale up: • Church-based afterschool clubs, to reach • 15,000 vulnerable children with a holistic contiinuum of evangelism, discipleship and leadership development • Through 500 churches supporting 3,000 youth leaders • Kex to that is the hire of a Program Manager able to identify, train and resource talented leaders across the region • YFC requests 44,817 Euro (49,299 USD) as a one-off grant for a 3-year project.

BACKGROUND: Youth for Christ (YFC) have over the past twenty years built a best- in-class capability of establishing church-based afterschool care programs, linked to weekend sports activities and summer camps. This continuum of care is highly effective, not only in improving educational achievement and mental well-being, but in leading children and young people to Christ, in seeing them discipled in the faith and in helping them – in time – serve their peers and become leaders in their own right.

EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 67

The program now exists in 304 locations, across 5 countries (Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus), involving 1591 youth leaders that reach 7757 vulnerable children. The goal, over the next 3 years, is to scale this work by 40%. This would see nearly 500 churches, with 3,000 youth leaders reach 15,000 children at risk.

Critical to that end is the employment of an experienced regional catalyst and trainer. This senior team member will assist national YFC Directors in the identification and training of children at risk cluster coordinators operating in a local area. They will motivate, train and resource these local operators and help them network across the region. They will also be responsible for key regional programs like the online e-learning platform, impact research and the exploration of a social impact bond focused on scaling out the model.

Going forward we aim to grow the work as follows:

2019 2020 2021

DC Growth 304 380 440 500 Regular Children 4904 6 130 7 663 9 578 Children 7757 9 696 12 120 15 150 Youth Leaders 1591 1 989 2 486 3 107

KEY HIRE: To achieve that growth we feel it essential to hire a senior regional Program Manager (PM), able to support the Regional Director to scale up the program. This PM will be an experienced multi-lingual catalyst and trainer with a mandate to help national teams identify, develop and retain key talent. They will motivate, train and resource these local operators and help them network across the region. They will also be responsible for key regional programs like the online e-learning platform, impact research and the exploration of a social impact bond focused on scaling out the model.

YFC seeks $49,299 towards a 3-year budget of $110,356 from the EGCC. If EGCC can support this initiative then YFC would be extremely grateful. Thank you for the consideration! 68 January 24-25, 2019 / London

06 c) Matching Fund for Eastern Europe

Help Youth for Christ scale up: • In 2012 YFC in Eastern Europe raised no money or very little. In 2018 they YFC raised $600,000 - what changed? • YFC benefitted from a capacity building project stimulated by a „matching pot“ • This matching pot delivered a dollar to the national YFC for every dollar this entity raised • We seek 100,00 Euro (110 000 USD) with which to continue this in 2019. If matched, this money will lever up to become $400,000

BACKGROUND: Youth for Christ (YFC) in Eastern Europe was pioneered by Belfast- based Malcolm Johnson who over 20 years travelled the region and began to build out a team sharing not only a vision but working on a continuum of church-based discipleship. In 2012 he felt called to move on and gave his National Directors notice that the funding from Northern Ireland would stop in June 2014.

Besides a scary date, Malcolm provided his team with training in fundraising, planning and accountability. The was fuelled by a pot of money used to incentivise local fundraising and tied to a quarterly reporting cycle. On evidence of local funding, money from the pot would double what had been raised.

From a standing start in 2012 YFC across Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus now raise some $600,000 a year. This money comes from both local and foreign donors and there is a growing recognition that more funding needs to be generated from within country.

To that end YFC is seeking to replenish the match pot with $110,000, which if matched will become an additional $290,000 or a total of $400,000.

YFC is passionate about reaching children and young people with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and through that raise a new generation of believers focused on serving and supporting their community.

THE NEXT CHALLENGE: However, the job is not yet done. Too much of that $600,000 is still supplied from foreign sources even if it has its origination in region. With Russia proving more and more difficult to get money into and with further EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 69 totalitarian tendencies in Belarus and now also in Georgia the need for local saints to be challenged to live biblical generosity and support worthy causes has never been greater.

There is therefore a desire to establish a 2019 matching fund of $110,000 which would be spent in Belarus, Moldova, Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine.

It would be disbursed on a quarterly basis, and only after the regional centre (in Minsk) receives evidence of local funds raised.

No administration charge would be placed on the matching pot. All funds would be distributed, retained or returned depending on the success of local fundraising in 2019.

If EGCC can support this initiative, then YFC would be extremely grateful. Thank you for the consideration! 70 January 24-25, 2019 / London

1. What is the vision and mission of your organization? We reach out to young people in their culture and their various walks of life. We invite young people to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. • We accompany and assist young people in their life, faith and personal challenges. We provide and explain core values of Christianity as a base to develop key competences for a successful life. • We invite young people to commit themselves to responsibility in personal life and society. They learn to work towards a church and a society with worldwide connections and a diversity of cultures and life- styles. EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 71

2. Who is your target group? What need does your project try to meet? As an innovative Christian youth organizations (founded in 1868 originally) we mainly reach out to young people (6 to 30 years old) in the region around Stuttgart (involving around 50.000 volunteers). In the two extension projects, we work on behalf of the German Fresh X movement for all German-speaking nations.

Project A meets the needs of refugees and migrants, especially new converts. Responding to the German “refugee kairos” (many immigrated Muslims showing a never seen openness to the gospel) this project offers “second aid” after baptism: Which kind of “fresh expressions of church” can integrate these new converts?

Project B meets the needs of modern, often un-churched families, missing Christ and the gospel, but also a relevant community and “quality times” together. The spread of the Messy Church concept (more than 4000 worldwide) shows an open door. 50% of the Messy Church members come from an un-churched background, as research shows. In Germany a movement of such an all-age church would be a great gift. The 30 German adaptions of “Messy church” we found have 10 different names. A brand, support and vision is missing.

3. What is your idea how to meet the needs?

4. What is your strategy and plan? (please see below)

5. What is your organizational capacity? Staff, operational budget etc. The operational budget of the EJW in 2017 was 11,230,000 € (Churches 52%, Foundations and Individuals 21%, Businesses 1%, Fees, tuition and sales 26%). Number of Employees: 108. Number of Volunteers: 53.700 (incl. volunteers on deanery and local level).

6. What is the geographical focus of your organization? Mainly Württemberg (the region 100 km North, South, West and East of Stuttgart). In the mentioned projects we work for the German “Fresh X –movement” – that means Germany, Swiss and Austria.

07 a) Fresh expressions of church for Germans and Migrants 72 January 24-25, 2019 / London

1. What is the description of your project?With the vision, experience and knowledge of the Fresh X movement we will focus on the implementation of intercultural “bottom-up” churches for migrants and Germans. We will explore “the third way” of integration – avoiding “assimilation” (you get our worship translated, but don´t expect more…) and the “ghetto” of new ethnic churches (“separation”). We help to implement inter-cultural Fresh X - as a home for migrants and a spiritual challenge and re-vitalization for Germans. Referring to research and discussions with practitioners and experts, we see three key elements and tools which can make way for such bottom-up churches: • We need to strengthen and empower migrant leadership – adapting the broad experience of volunteer trainings (TRAINEE courses) from our youthwork tradition: working title is “born for more” • We need to open up “closed national churches” to a vision of Christ´s intercultural church with a mind changing “40 day program”: working title is “worldwide local” • We offer practical inspiration (map of encouragement, models) and materials for bi-cultural groups (bibel discovery, koinonia) and communities up to 50 people (open house of prayer, international choirs etc.). In addition a camp for 100-150 young international adults to share the vision of “worldwide local”.

2. Who is the target group? • 25-30 multiplicators, leaders and key persons (Germans and migrants) from different churches and organizations at “strategy workshops” to define, develop and multiply the three tools/project streams. • Migrants and converts with leadership potential in the “born for more” courses >> tool (a) • Leaders of churches/organizations with “refugee work” who want to go the “integration way” and change the mindset of their members in the direction of an intercultural church >> tool (b)

3. What are the projected activities, outputs and outcomes of your project for 2019 or 2019/20? We will have a second “strategy workshop” 14./15.1. near Kassel with 25-30 key leaders to implement the three “project streams” and to come up with a multiplication strategy. • In the first stream of leadership development we will have 5 local projects around Stuttgart 2/2019 – 7/2020. Each local project runs 2-3 courses of “born EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 73

for more – international TRAINEE program” with different migrant target groups and in a variety of contexts to gain as much experience as possible. Course material etc. is published in summer 2020. In these projects we aim to train 100 migrant leaders. We will have “multiplication days” and want to see 20 courses started in 2020 with further 200 leaders. • A group of key leaders from different background will work on ideas and materials of a “40 day program” for local churches/organizations: 7 bible texts and preaching outlines, 7 personal faith stories from migrant from 7 countries, 7 small group materials, ideas for encounters with migrant churches, international prayer evenings etc. incl. PR. Material will be available in winter 2019, a campaign for “40 days: church worldwide local” in lent 2020 will be started, also via the Fresh X network. We expect that at least 100 churches and organizations will run the “40 days”-program in 2020, much more in the following years. • A “map of encouragement” on a website, presenting at least 30 models of bottom-up intercultural Christian communities, will go public in autumn 2019. Also materials, ideas and links will be presented online to offer practical help implementing bi-cultural and multi-cultural groups and gatherings. Summer- camp for 100-150 international young adults which shares the vision of “worldwide local”.

4. What is the budget of your project? Last year budget and planned budget for the next year. See attachment

5. What is your fundraising strategy? A list of your donors. How much of the needs are covered for 2019? For this nation-wide and strategic project we work together with US-givers like Cornerstone Trust (already funding parts of the Fresh X movement in the years before), with the German Hoffnungsträger-foun dation, which is active in the field of migrants, with our regional Lutheran church. For 2019 75% of the needs are covered, for 2020 at the moment around 50%.

6. What is the plans schedule of the project? Milestones will be: 14./15.1.2019 – second strategy workshop with 25-30 keypersons (of 20 different organizations, churches) 74 January 24-25, 2019 / London

• 3/2019: website with basic information public • “born for more” project: first 5 local courses until summer 2019. Multiplication day in October. • 28.7-1.8. Summer-camp for 100-150 international young adults >> vision of “church worldwide local”. • September 2019: Campaign started for “40 days church worldwide local” • Until November 2019: materials, clips and ideas for “40 days”-program are online. • Lent 2020: around 100 churches & organizations take part in the 40 days program

7. What other organizations do you partner with? At the first strategy workshop 12./13.6.2018 the following organizations were represented by key persons: Liebenzeller Mission, EJW, MissionMosaik, EIMI Korntal, Evang. Salam-Center, Stiftung Himmelsfels, Baptist church, YMCA College, Jesus Unites-Network, AMIN (Evangelical Alliance), Hoffnungsträger- Foundation, Barnabas-Network. Also key pioneers from Wuppertal, Gotha, Ludwigsburg and Schwäbisch Gmünd. In future we will also cooperate with “international convents”, Lutheran churches and VEM (church mission society). We also partner with churches and organizations of Fresh X Netzwerk e.V. (see www.freshexpressions.de)

8. What step will you take to make sure the fruit is sustainable? We have a longterm strategy, building on empowerment of migrants and the change of mindsets within churches. The big network, we partner with, represent organizations with much experience. Most of them are eager to embed the results of the project within their existing work. In addition we work on behalf of the “Fresh X Netzwerk e.V.” and will implement bi-cultural and multi-cultural Fresh X in this existing network.

9. How are you going to measure results? How will you know your project is successful? Measurable results will be: a) the organizations, which partner with us b) attendance of keyperons at the strategy workshops c) number of persons trained by “born for more” d) number of young adults attending the Vision-summer-camp e) clicks on the website f) churches and organizations joining the “40 days”- program. g) new intercultural Fresh X on the “map of encouragement”. 10. What is the geographical focus of your project? Mainly Germany. Via website all German-speaking countries >> D / A / CH EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 75

07 b) Extension project “Kirche Kunterbunt / Messy church”

1. What is the description of your project? We want so spread the successful concept of “Messy church” in Germany, Switzerland and Austria using the name “Kirche Kunterbunt” (referring to Astrid Lindgren´s Pippi Langstocking). Looking at the English movement (started in 2004 - now more than 3500 Messy churches registered), we see potential for 500 – 1000 Kirche Kunterbunt in the next decade in D / A / CH. The overall values of Kirche Kunterbunt are • hospitality (a meal together) • creativity (stations with activities to explore a theme from bible or life) • celebration (a short worship session) • all age (children and adults together - addresses not only children, but the whole “family system”) • Christ-centered (a clear faith profile). Kirche Kunterbunt can be a great “space of grace” for children together with their parents, grandparents or other close persons - especially for those, who normally don´t go to church. Children are curios also on a religious level and can help adults to explore faith anew. The monthly meetings create a relational network. “take aways” at the end of each sessions are an invitation to explore more spiritual habits at home, so that formerly common family traditions (like prayers at meals, prayer in the evening) might be re-established.

2. Who is the target group? On the local level all children (age 5 – 12) with their parents, grandparents or other close persons, especially those with little church background. A survey in GB shows, that Messy Churches reach out best to un-churched people – due to natural relational networks of young parents (Kindergarden, primary schools, playgrounds). On a strategic level a lot of interest for Kirche Kunterbunt exists already in the Protestant and in the Catholic Church, but also in Christian youth organizations and in other member-organizations of the “Fresh X Netzwerk e.V.” We will create with these partners “regional hubs” to spread Kirche Kunterbunt in the different regions. 3. What are the projected activities, outputs and outcomes of your project for 2019 or 2019/20? Ongoing learning from the Messy Church movement in the UK and the Kliederkerk 76 January 24-25, 2019 / London

movement in NL. Coaching by Lucy Moore (founder of Messy Church) to avoid mistakes. • Adopting the Messy church model to the German context, creating a German brand (Kirche Kunterbunt). • Promotion of the vision, concept and brand by • producing presentations, introduction clips, video portraits and a “Kirche Kunterbunt” book (200 pages - in cooperation with a protestant and a catholic publishing company). • creating a Kirche Kunterbunt stall and presence by relevant national and regional conferences • developing a website as support for local pioneers (map of local models, materials) and as central communication platform - also for social media channels (Newsletter, Facebook, Instagram) • General PR, articles in Christian magazines, press releases. • National Kirche Kunterbunt-office and team (Damaris Binder 30%, Reinhold Krebs 20%, Jele Mailänder 10%). • Establishing regional hubs by matching funding (when regional partners dedicate 15% of the job of a key person for Kirche Kunterbunt, they get another 15% paid). Regional hubs 2019 in Nürnberg (Bavaria), Wiesloch (Baden), Stuttgart (Württemberg), Dortmund (Westfalen). • Developing regional extension strategies: • Research in the regions: Which local plants, inspired by Messy Church, already exist? • Establish “lighthouse” models. Come & See-strategy: people visit models, get a 3-4 h introduction • Round tables in the regions – interested keypersons from different churches, organizations • Relation-based multiplication: regional key person coaches teams for one year, the new teams commit to be also a “come & see”-model for the next generation. • Review and evaluation with ZAP Bochum in cooperation with Porticus (success factors and reasons for failures)

4. What is the budget of your project? Last year budget and planned budget for the next year. See attachment

EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 77

5. What is your fundraising strategy? A list of your donors. How much of the needs are covered for 2019? After a longer process the catholic foundation Porticus promised to fund the project for at least three years. In addition we got a grant from the Maclellan foundation, who played a key role in the funding of the German Fresh X movement in the years ago. Through matching funding we are also able to build on regional German resources from YMCA Bayern, YMCA Baden, Lutheran Church of Württemberg und AMD Westfalen. At the moment 80% of the budget is covered.

6. What is the plans schedule of the project? Milestone will be: 7.2.2019 “Kick off” with the keypersons of the regional hubs (extension team) and the national team 3/2019 Homepage Kirche Kunterbunt goes public 15.3.2019 Release of the book “Kirche Kunterbunt” 30.4.2019 Second “strategy workshop” with 25 keypersons from Germany, Swiss, Austria 5/2019 International Messy church Conference near London. Extension and national team taking part 6/2019 Presence at “Deutscher Evangelischer Kirchentag” 10/2019 Skype meetings – extension team – presence at regional conferences 11/2019 Round table in the regions 2/2020 Willow-Conference in Karlsruhe (one of the key speakers is Daniela Mailänder)

7. What other organizations do you partner with? On a contract level (regional hubs) we partner at the moment with YMCA Bayern, YMCA Baden, Lutheran Church of Württemberg und AMD Westfalen. At the first strategy workshop 12.10.2018 in Nürnberg also keypersons from the following churches and organizations were present: Lutheran Church of Mitteldeutschland, Lutheran Church of Hannover, Gnadauer Gemeinschaftsverband, Amt für Gemeindedienst Bayern, Evang. Jugend Österreich, One Hope Germany, Baptist church, Methodist church, YMCA Westbund, Bible Reading Fellowship (GB).

In the regions we will also partner (via the Fresh X network) with Catholic Churches, youth organizations etc.

8. What step will you take to make sure the fruit is sustainable? We will have a focus on discipleship in the Kirche Kunterbunt and strengthen 78 January 24-25, 2019 / London

the “at home” dimension of the local processes. We will learn from European Messy Church movements (GB, NL) and stay in close contact with them. We will create regional hubs and “round tables” for the movement. Working on behalf of the “Fresh X Netzwerk e.V.” and having strong relationships there we can embed the new plants into inherited churches and organizations, because the Fresh X partners are sharing the vision of a “mixed economy church” and welcome “fresh expressions of church”.

9. How are you going to measure results? How will you know your project is successful? Measurable results will be: a) the organizations, which partner with us on a formal level (contract, regional hub) b) the organizations, which partner with us on a informal level (attending strategy workshops, round tables) c) number of persons at regional “round tables” d) number of new local Kirche Kunterbunt started e) clicks on the website f) books sold g) number of persons in regional “Kirche Kunterbunt” workshops or events

10. What is the geographical focus of your project? We will focus on the German-speaking countries, having good contacts to all regions. In future we think of cooperation with NL (Porticus wants this) and of an European extension project together with the strong English movement. EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 79

While Romania claims to be a Christian country (Orthodox 81%, Catholic 5%, Reformed 4%, Evangelical 3%), it is in name only. We estimate a minority of 5-10% from all denominations are practicing Christians, with some 80-85% nominal Christians or non-interested, the rest being atheist or of other non-Christian belief systems. As media, we target all groups by using multiple tailored projects/programs. Secondarily, we target other ethnic groups in the Balkans and Eastern Europe. Romania is facing poverty, corruption, social unrest and hopelessness. A quarter of the population has emigrated, a higher percentage than even war-torn Syria. We believe that the Gospel can bring healing to all levels of our broken society, and Alfa Omega is called to play an active role in it, alongside others.

3. What is your idea how to meet the needs? Many people today would not enter a church to listen to a priest or pastor but, through media, we bring the Gospel where they are, in their homes. Romanians watch TV on average 5 hours/day, substantially more than the global average of 3 hours (“Index of TV consumption in Romania”, 2017, TVCI Romania). Also, Romanians spend 5.5 hours per day online (UPC study about broadband use, 2014). While media can cost more than traditional evangelism, it reaches many more people, and this increased media usage pattern is an opportunity to create tailored media projects to help Romanians understand and accept the Gospel (or at least sow a seed) and help Christians grow in their faith. Through media and partnerships with others, we can disciple a nation.

4. What is your strategy and plan, how to realize this idea? We constantly produce, broadcast, publish and promote pre-evangelism, evangelism, discipleship and spiritual growth materials on all media channels available to us - TV, website, social media, print. For all media channels, we encourage people to contact us so we can pray and help with additional resources, connect them to local churches. • TV – Our main project is television. We have a TV channel since 2006. We produce/translate TV programs (~700 hours of programs yearly) that air on our Alfa Omega TV channel. We also provide around 20h/month of Christian programs to 30+ secular TV networks in Romania. • DIGITAL MEDIA – Our site, www.alfaomega.tv, has ~20,000 pages and received 360,000+ unique visitors in 2018 (19% growth since 2017). We counted 11,38 EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 81

million video views on Facebook+Youtube in 2018 (15% growth). There are ~25 million Romanians in total. • PRINT – In 2018, we distributed 21000 free books and brochures for discipleship and spiritual growth and 71000 free AOTV magazines about Christian life. We published 17 new books through our editing house.

5. What is your organizational capacity? Staff, operational budget. Our ministry has 29 employees and several other collaborators. Our projected budget for 2019 is ~650,000 EUR. We have our own 3-floor fully-functional building and studio in Timisoara, western Romania.

6. What is the geographical focus of your organization? While we can reach, through media, Romanians to the ends of the earth, our priority is Romania and Rep. of Moldova (also largely Romanian-speaking). While our in-country population is ~20 million, we have a large Diaspora (~4-5 million). Our main project, the TV channel, airs via satellite and covers Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Our web traffic comes 62% from Romania, with the rest from countries where our Diaspora lives: France, USA, Germany, UK, Italy, Moldova, etc.

08 a) Alfa Omega TV channel - 1 year of broadcasting in Romanian over Europe

1. What is the description of your project? The Alfa Omega TV Christian channel, broadcasting 24/7 since 2006 via satellite and rebroadcast in all digital cable networks in Romania, reaches an estimate of 11-12 million Romanians. We are in the “must-carry” list of the Romanian regulatory agency (CNA) since 2010. Because of its nature, the TV channel reaches a variety of people, including many who wouldn’t normally go to church, in the safe environment of their homes. We are not a church channel, our schedule is diversified to include documentaries, cartoons, films, news, talk-shows, live interactive programs, music, bible seminars, sermons. Our channel aims to bring the Gospel to unsaved people, to equip Christians for ministry for the Kingdom of God and to integrate with local churches. 82 January 24-25, 2019 / London

2. Who is the target group? Our TV channel aims primarily to evangelize the mass of nominal Christians (we estimate them as 80+% of the population) that have little understanding in what being a Christian means. Secondly, we provide media content to equip practicing Christians (5-10%, from all denominations), motivating them to be a light in society. We have many testimonies from viewers that confirm this, from unsaved people that accidentally stumbled upon our channel and got saved, or Christians that grew in their faith.

3. What are the projected activities, outputs and outcomes of your project for 2019 or 2019/20? Television implies production of TV content (programs) and broadcasting them on a TV network/channel. Program acquisition, production, asset management and promotion are not included in this funding proposal. As we already have thousands of programs, the crucial aspect of the project is broadcasting the TV signal via satellite and keeping it running 24/7/365, and this is the part for which we submit this funding request. Presently, we are at the peak of our reach, with the #1 cable TV provider introducing Alfa Omega TV in its digital package in Aug. 2018, which brings us into a total of 4,5 million households (~65% of the population). The main outcome of broadcasting the channel is the fact that the Gospel is available 24/7 in the homes of around 12 million people. It is also a source of spiritual nourishment for Christians.

4. What is the budget of your project? Last year budget and planned budget for the next year. TOTAL PLANNED BUDGET FOR 2019 FOR PROJECT: 96,200 EUR • Running costs - 85,200 EUR/year; Breakdown: Satellite+uplink yearly costs - 71,400 EUR (5950 EUR/month); Office costs - 3,600 EUR; TV scheduler salary - 9,700 EUR/year • One-time acquisition of playout server - 11,000 EUR (Server that creates the TV signal, to replace the present one running since 2012) Budget for 2017 - Total running costs - 60.700 EUR/year - Breakdown: Satellite+uplink yearly costs - 49700 EUR (4141 EUR/month); Office costs - 3600 EUR; TV scheduler salary - 7400 EUR

5. What is your fundraising strategy? A list of donors. How much of the needs are already covered for 2019? The channel can generate income in several ways. We have bi-yearly major fundraising initiative as well as weekly informative programs, where we give an account of our projects and promote our work. Around 200 persons per month donate to us individually. Secondly, we generate income via advertising. Thirdly, we provide paid translation and subtitling services for some programs we also broadcast. We also sell some programs on DVD and video-on-demand, and the promotion is done via the TV channel. Also we have received donations from partner media companies in North America, Europe and Australia, such as CBN, TLN, Patmos, InTouch, Joyce Meyer Ministries, Voice of Evangelism, Australian Christian Channel and others. These sources of income should help drive the AOTV channel project further after 2019. We have no specific sources of funding for the Alfa Omega TV channel, but this is our main project, with 80-90% of staff working on aspects related to it (some not included in this proposal), and we will prioritize funding the broadcast of the TV channel above any other activity.

6. What is the plans schedule of the project? This is a continuous operation. A full-time scheduler manages the TV channel, schedules programs. Acquiring a new playout server should be done in the first trimester, the current server is old and under constant load.

7. What other organizations do you partner with? We partner with many other companies (Westfield, Franck, etc), churches and NGOs in Romania. We partner with many media organizations, such as EO Holland, ERF Germany, CTA UK, Revelation TV, New Life Network in Europe. Outside Europe, partners are CBN, Vision Video, Joyce Meyer Ministries, InTouch Ministries, Australian Christian Channel, UCB.

8. What step will you take to make sure the fruit is sustainable? Using our TV channel, we are trying to stimulate interaction by several ways, by producing live interactive programs with prayer, where viewers are encouraged to contact us (audience for the live shows is 70% higher than channel average). We actively promote our prayer line (2 hours per day). We have a “follow-up” activity, with staff that responds to phone calls, questions and prayer requests (400- 450/month), prays for people, offers free media resources. We connect persons in need with counselors, ministers, local churches, where they can get further assistance and be ministered to in person. (This activity is detailed below, as 84 January 24-25, 2019 / London

Project 2, “Media ministry, prayer & follow-up”) Also, numerous Christians that watch our channel told us it is a source of spiritual nourishment and maturity for them. Through news and reports, we are broadening their horizon, helping them understand the times and how to respond to current events in our society.

9. How are you going to measure results? How will you know your project is successful? We measure success, first of all, in the number of households that can watch our channel. In 2018, we witnessed a 180% increase in our potential audience. Secondly, success means the audience (people that actually watch) should increase. From May to Nov. 2018, our viewers increased by 41%, and we expect further growth. Thirdly, success should mean an increase in the number of interactions people have with us, via phone, email and social media.

10. What is the geographical focus of your project? In order of priority: Romania, Moldova, Balkans, Eastern Europe, Western Europe

08 b) Media ministry, prayer & follow-up

1. What is the description of your project? Most of our media projects ultimately focus on ministering to people, encouraging them to contact us, getting to know them so we can help them further. Every year, we receive ~5000 prayer requests on various topics. Trust is key in this project, and our visibility as media, the discretion and anonymity that we offer by not being in their familiar circle, and our long years of ministry help many trust us, which enables us to minister to them. We believe that God listens to prayer and can intervene, heal, deliver. Ministering to unsaved people in need has also proved to be a good way for evangelism. We see media as a doorway for ministry. We produce weekly live interactive shows, two hours long, with prayer for the needs of the audience, airing on TV, our website and on social media. Secondly, for those who contact us directly during live shows or at any other time in the day (via or daily 2-hours prayer line), we assist by personal ministry - prayer and basic counseling, providing materials on relevant topics, helping them find further help in local churches if needed. Thirdly, for those that do not or would not contact us directly, due to shame or other reasons, we are constantly looking for ways to minister to them anonymously, within their privacy, and to create and promote targeted content that will reach them. EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 85

2. Who is the target group? All Romanian people, regardless of age, gender or location.

3. What are the projected activities, outputs and outcomes of your project for 2019 or 2019/20? We plan to produce 35 live programs in 2019, each 2-hours long. In Nov.2018, their audience was 70% higher than channel average. We would continue and develop our “follow-up” activity, with staff that responds to phone calls, questions and prayer requests (~400-450/month), prays for people, offers free media resources, connects persons in need with counselors and local churches where they can get further assistance and be ministered to in person. We would continue and grow our prayer line when staff stands by to pray for those who call/write. We also plan to invest more time in following-up with people, calling them back about their problems to support them in the long run. We would invest in developing more written and video materials on sensitive topics. On our website, for 2018, our top three visited subsections in our Spiritual Life category were Sexuality issues, Deliverance and demon problems and Foundations of Christianity. We would use such insights, as well as God’s inspiration in developing pastoral media content that responds to difficult questions and problems. These would be also leads for people to contact us for prayer and enable them to assist them further.

4. What is the budget of your project? Last year budget and planned budget for the next year. Planned budget for 2019 – TOTAL: 55,700 EUR. Breakdown: Production of 35 Ministry programs – 31,500 EUR (900 EUR/program); 2 staff – 21,600 EUR (prayer, counseling, developing articles and media resources); 2 laptops for staff – 2000 EUR; Office Costs – 600 EUR/year Last year budget: 42,300 EUR (35 Ministry programs – 31,500 EUR; 1 staff – 10,800 EUR).

5. What is your fundraising strategy? A list of your donors. How much of the needs are already covered for 2019? There are no donors for this project, and no needs are covered yet for 2019. But while we would strongly avoid sending the idea that money are expected to those who are ministered to through our Follow-up department, we expect God to embolden the beneficiaries to support our activity. We would actively fundraise to keep this ministry project afloat, via TV, print and digital media, using testimonies 86 January 24-25, 2019 / London

and stories from people. This Ministry and Follow-up project is of great value to us.

6. What is the plans schedule of the project? This is an ongoing project. Our staff would be on call to assist those in need and continuously develop articles, courses and videos on delicate subjects.

7. What other organizations do you partner with? We partner with hundreds of local churches of all denominations that can take care of new converts. We also have some 30-40 specially trained counselors throughout the country, from various denominations, that we send tough cases to, for in-depth counseling and ministry, including deliverance. We also partner with specialized organizations and have agreements to send them special cases, such as Teen Challenge for drug addiction, several Pro-life organizations throughout the country, Healing Rooms, etc. We also have contacts with Campus Crusade, as well as the now-developing Alpha Course Romania.

8. What step will you take to make sure the fruit is sustainable? We would take two main steps. Firstly, we would call back (but not insistently) people who contacted us to check on their status. Secondly, as we are a media organization, we would coordinate with local churches and organizations, helping the people who contacted us to connect to Christians in their geographical area, or to specialized ministries that can assist them efficiently for particular problems. As a media organization, we are connected with many organizations and have many media resources, so our strength is visibility and the ability to connect people to the best source for efficient, practical help.

9. How are you going to measure results? How will you know your project is successful? We project an increase in the number of people that contact us for prayer and ministry and of situations where we hope God would intervene (testimonies). We expect more people being effectively ministered to, strengthening local churches. We expect a number of salvations, and we would coordinate with local churches to see them taken care of in a local community.

10. What is the geographical focus of your project? Romania, Moldova, Europe. EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 87

08 c) Internet Evangelism project

1. What is the description of your project? The project aims to present the Gospel through a combination of digital media tools to people that are looking online for answers and might be receptive to the Gospel. We already have a Salvation section on our website, text+images articles, and 3000 visits were recorded in 2018. We can vastly improve these numbers, using better digital media tools and strategies. Studies say that people find information primarily by search engines and social media and stats from our alfaomega.tv website concur. Traffic sources for 2018 are 41% organic search (95% Google), 32% social media (95% Facebook), 23% direct traffic and 4% from affiliated sites. People spend on average 4:22 watching our Youtube videos, and 0:50 for our Facebook videos. We have viewing insights from our 9000+ uploaded videos on a wide range of topics. Taking advantage of the knowledge gained in years, we plan to create an evangelistic micro-site to present the Gospel with high production value, and drive traffic to it via digital marketing tools.

2. Who is the target group? Nominal Christians, atheists, agnostics or of other non-Christian religions, digitally- savvy, under 50 years old.

3. What are the projected activities, outputs and outcomes of your project for 2019 or 2019/20? First, we would develop a visually attractive evangelistic micro-site. The central element would be the Gospel presentation with a way to indicate if one has prayed the salvation prayer or still has questions. We would create two types of Gospel presentation, one using the 4 spiritual laws and the other in a narrative form, for two different age-groups and mindsets, for A/B testing. Second, we would create targeted video content (40 videos in total) to drive traffic to the micro-site as promos. There would be two video types: salvation testimonies and topical videos that address questions like “I struggle with depression”, “I want a divorce”, “Why is there suffering?”, “I like porn”. These video ads would be of 2-5min. full-length, with 10-15 sec. teasers (for pre-roll/mid-roll video ads). Once produced, these videos would be promoted on Facebook, Google search, Youtube and occasionally via Google AdSense. For all videos, we’d create a dedicated “landing page” on the microsite, which would then drive people to the Gospel Presentation. The website would 88 January 24-25, 2019 / London

encourage visitors to contact us, our “follow-up/ministry” department (detailed above) would help them find a local church or Alpha Course. Those not willing to contact us will be able to continue to an existing Basics of Christianity online course.

4. What is the budget of your project? Last year budget and planned budget for the next year. TOTAL PLANNED BUDGET FOR 2019 (new project): 73,200 EUR • Equipment & one-time investment - 11,000 EUR; Breakdown: One 4k DSLR camera with accessories - 4,000 EUR; One workstation for editing and graphics- 6,000 EUR; Stock video and sounds, templates, effects - 1,000 EUR • Running costs - 38,200 EUR/year; Breakdown: Office costs - 1200 EUR/year; Salary costs - 36,000 EUR/year (5 people with various levels of involvement. We can provide a breakdown on request.); Web hosting - 1000 EUR/year; • Ads - 24,000 EUR/year (200 EUR/video/platform * 3 platforms (Google, Youtube, Facebook) * 40 videos)

5. What is your fundraising strategy? A list of your donors. How much of the needs are already covered for 2019? After a few months, we will see results and stats from this project, which would enable us to fundraise for it, so we can continue producing video ads after 2019. We would present the project in special programs on Alfa Omega TV channel and in special bi-yearly fundraising campaigns.

6. What is the plans schedule of the project? Months 1-2 - RESEARCH - SITE - how do build the website and Gospel presentation, concepts, layouts, landing page design, information workflow; VIDEOS – researching topics, finding the best-suited stories, pre-production Months 3-4 - SITE - Implementation. Website should be done at the end of month 4. Months 3-12 - VIDEO PRODUCTION - 2 testimonies and 2 topical videos monthly, to a total of 40 videos and their respective landing pages. Months 5-12 - ADS - Running targeted ads for the videos being produced, to drive traffic to Gospel Presentation website.

7. What other organizations do you partner with? For this project, we would partner with local churches and other ministries, such as Campus Crusade (Alege Viata), Alpha Course, Teen Challenge (drug-addictions). We already have partnerships for other projects. EGCC Marketplace / Ministry proposals 89

8. What step will you take to make sure the fruit is sustainable? We have a “follow-up” activity, with staff that responds to phone calls, messages, to questions and prayer requests (400 in average per month), prays for people, offers free related media resources. If needed, our follow-up staff connects persons in need with counselors, ministers, local churches, where they can get further assistance and be ministered to in person. Also, we already have contacts with Alpha Romania, Campus Crusade Romania and other organizations that we can partner with for local support, as well as hundreds of churches of all denominations in Romania.

9. How are you going to measure results? How will you know your project is successful? We would measure success in 4 ways: Firstly, in the number of individuals exposed to the Gospel Presentation. Secondly, from the number of people that, after going through the Gospel Presentation, indicate they prayed the Salvation prayer (by pressing a button). Thirdly, by the number of people that continue that journey, either digitally to the Basics of Christianity course, or by contacting us. Also, by the number of people integrated in local churches. We have a similar system already implemented for Superbook, a children evangelism project developed with CBN that also leads visitors to an online Gospel presentation for kids via display ads (not video). Results there indicate that 3-4% of those that go through the Superbook Gospel Presentation also indicate they prayed the salvation prayer. We would consider 5% a good success rate for this project.
