What will it take?

There is a theme that is taking hold throughout Greater Europe Mission these days.

"Whatever it takes..." is ringing out as a rallying cry for the work that we are doing across the continent.

Europe is one of the most unevangelized, unreached societies in the world. Even with thousands of missionaries working for years, still less than 1% of the population are what would be considered Bible-believing Christians.

It's long, hard work. It's frustrating at times. It's going to take a lot more effort, a lot more support, a lot more workers.

What else will it take? Well, in addition to all the work that is currently being done, GEM has a new initiative that begins today. We're taking it back to the basics -- the foundation.

Prayer.

Today begins "50 Days with God" -- a time for all GEM missionaries to really engage with God in a fresh way on a daily and weekly basis; to reignite the flame within and empower us to effectively continue our work. It's all in preparation for "The Day of Prayer for Europe", which is January 8.

Yes, it's for GEM missionaries, but if you have a heart for the peoples of Europe and desire to see God's work break forth across the continent as never before, I would invite you to join with us in this effort.

It's only 7 weeks. Heavens, I've felt the effects of the flu that long before.

Let me know if you will stand with us for the sake of the missionaries as well as the expansion of God's Kingdom in Europe.
