Story

As leader for the Nordic-Baltic Initiative, I oversee the direction, strategy, and engagement of the Initiative and serve our missionary staff.  I help ensure our Initiative is focused on catalyzing gospel movements and developing transformational leaders. In addition, I work to mobilize people, resources, and churches to engage with the Initiative. I also work to connect with national leaders and organizations to build our relationships and discover new and impactful collaborative opportunities.

Our Nordic-Baltic region includes eight countries:  Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland, and Denmark.  As a region, we estimate that only around 2-3% of the population are followers of Christ.  There is physical and spiritual darkness in this far northern region of Europe. 

However, there is hope!  We have faithful missionaries serving in the region and in pre-deployment. There is growth and momentum in the region.  Young people are taking hold of their faith and making great strides in their generation.  We are encouraging national pastors, leaders, and spouses to carry on and resourcing them with theological training and church planting & strengthening tools.

We need more workers and ministry partners! We encourage anyone with a heart for the nations to consider how God could use them in the Nordic-Baltic Initiative.  Please pray for us and for the people of the Nordic-Baltic to have the opportunity to know and follow Jesus.

Location

The Nordic & Baltic countries of Europe

Our vision is to see thriving, indigenous gospel movements of disciple-making and church planting throughout the Nordic-Baltic.
