A Kingdom Story from Cologne (part 1)

We were out on a Friday evening, serving coffee and tea in the subway station of a largely immigrant community of Cologne. It was busy, with many we'd met before stopping by, hanging out and talking.

If you were on a subway platform today in Istanbul, Turkey, you might find yourself perusing an illuminated billboard while you wait for your train. It shows a young woman with a questioning gaze, peering into a mirror with multiple images of herself looking back. The ad asks the question, Ya yanlış biliyorsak? (which loosely translated means “What if what we think is true is false?”).

(Click here if you missed part 1 of the story.) As the group of teens that had come by for coffee were leaving our spot in the subway station, I noticed one quiet kid leaning against the wall, sipping on his coffee. We introduced ourselves. Unlike most of the folks we meet on Fridays, Klaus* is a German. As is typical in the area, he sees himself as "catholic" but isn't interested in church. But that doesn't mean he was disinterested in spiritual things.

Developing church partnerships is key to multiplying both people being sent and those sending them. We believe in helping churches in North America gain experience locally and globally, training them to be effective in making disciples that make disciples. Our hope is that many will be called to serve in Europe. Plus, by forming ministry teams made of people who are already on mission together with the strong support of churches behind them, we become more efficient in sending more people in less time.

Rapidly reproducing disciples and churches in key cities throughout Europe requires a specific type of leader. GEM is mobilizing catalytic leaders who have the needed experience and capacity to lead others to see discipleship movements in Europe and the world come to fruition. They have the innate ability to influence, inspire, and mobilize others to the vision of GEM and to reach Europe. They are mobilizing teams, churches, and individuals to ignite rapidly reproducing discipleship movements in the cities and people groups to which they are committed.
