Europe
We bring the hope of Christ to places where atheism and agnosticism are on the rise through planting churches, education, the creative arts, business-as-mission endeavors, and social justice ministries.
View All AreasGreece
Officially known as the Hellenic Republic or Hellas, Greece is located on the southeastern tip of Europe. This small nation boasts a population of only 11 million people, yet it is well known as the birthplace of Western civilization, democracy, philosophy and literature, as well as modern medicine, the university system and the Olympics. Standing at the crossroads of Europe, Africa and Asia, Greece has been a land of migration, movement and refugees for thousands of years — and will be for years to come.
Learn MoreUkraine
Ukraine is positioned at the crossroads between Western Europe and the Middle East and Asia, and the nation is in the midst of a transition from a post-Soviet society to a post-modern European nation. The religious landscape is dominated by the Eastern Orthodox Church, which offers more ritual and identity than a spiritual relationship with God. People are seeking to meet their spiritual needs through new age pursuits and experimenting with cults. TEAM missionaries are establishing indigenous, culturally sensitive, reproducing churches in the southwestern region of Ukraine while coaching national church planters and working with youth and sports ministry leaders.
Learn MoreSpain
Spain is known for its beautiful coastlines, its late nights, and its deep traditions. Many people today are searching for meaningful relationships and direction on their spiritual journey. We seek to walk with them, showing them how God's Truth has transformed our lives and can do the same for them.
Learn MorePortugal
The Portuguese are a generous and welcoming people, who are proud of their beaches, sunshine, food, and festivals. They have rich cultural and religious traditions, yet many struggle to see how God is relevant to their lives. We are sharing the love and truth of Jesus with our neighbors and communities, pointing them towards a deeper personal relationship with God.
Learn MoreItaly
Italy is a romantically enchanting country famous for ancient history, magnificent architecture, unsurpassed cuisine, and world-class soccer players, yet it is spiritually dead. Less than 1,500 of its 30,000 cities and towns have a church that clearly preaches the Gospel. TEAM missionaries in Italy are working to establish biblically sound Italian churches in northeast Italy, an area with few evangelical churches. We have several church planting teams working in partnership with local and international organizations to spread the Gospel in key cities.
Learn MoreIreland
Ireland is running. Running to catch up with the post-Christian European worldview. The Irish lived under the heavy weight of Catholicism for the past 1500 years and is now breaking free. Free to do whatever they see fit in their own eyes. Some are asking about the Christian faith for the first time without fear, many are open to hearing the gospel given in culturally sensitive ways for the first time. God is opening Ireland’s hearts!
Learn MoreGermany
Germany's nominal Christianity conceals a liberal, secular, and post-modern perspective that views the Christian faith as irrelevant to life. The evangelical community in Germany numbers not quite two percent of the population, and it faces significant challenges in gaining a strong public identity. TEAM is working with committed evangelical communities that are making a difference in German society, and the great hope is that their impact will grow as they see what God is capable of doing through his church.
Learn MoreFrance
France is a post-Christian, post-modern society where only 0.8 percent of the people are evangelical, and the number of Muslims is currently nine million people and growing. Despite this challenging environment, missionaries are making a difference, and the number of evangelical churches has doubled over the last thirty years. TEAM is working together with established French church associations to start new churches, placing a high value on working together in teams that fit into the local culture.
Learn MoreEuropean Diaspora
The European Diaspora population is made up of millions of Muslims from North Africa who come to Europe in search of a better life. Many of these young people struggle to fit into European life and yet they no longer feel completely at home in North Africa. In countries where there is religious freedom, there are plenty of opportunities to work with these young people in a variety of educational settings and community centers.
Learn MoreCzech Republic
The Czech Republic is a post-communist and decidedly post-Christian society, ranking among the world's most atheistic societies. In the hard soil of contemporary culture, churches are being planted and the Spirit is bringing new life. TEAM workers partner with local Czech churches and other European believers to share the gospel and make disciples in culturally relevant ways.
Learn MoreAustria
Less than 0.5 percent of Austrians publicly identify themselves as "evangelical,” yet the numbers are growing and an evangelical identity is becoming more accepted. TEAM is helping Austrian evangelical churches start and develop biblical, reproducing, load-bearing, and culturally relevant churches in strategic areas of the country by using a broad range of skills including social work, music, the arts, youth work, and counseling.
