Church Partnerships
Transformation near and far
A partnership, rooted in relationship, between your church and another in the Balkans or Eastern Europe is a fantastic way to actively play your part in God’s plan for the nations. Church partnerships bless and encourage Christian brothers and sisters overseas, and they also transform the discipleship of those in your own church, as they get involved through prayer, giving and going.
"We, as individuals and as a church, have been massively blessed by this relationship. It brought to life a vital mission interest in many people, not only those who have been out to Bulgaria.”
"It's a great opportunity to gain insight into another culture, and it is one the whole church community can share in…”
Through Church Partnerships, prayer, people, resources and financial support becomes focused on the specific needs of local churches.
TEN enjoys an established track record of working with churches in Europe, founded on the pioneering work of Eurovangelism since 1965. We ensure each partnership is of the right match and adds value to both churches concerned. In fact, we expect a lasting synergy to develop that sees everybody blessed, as demonstrated in our partnership case studies.
We are always open to new ideas and would be very happy to arrange a visit with your church leaders to discuss in more detail what a church partnership could look like for you.
If you would like someone to speak at your church or organisation to share with you more about TEN’s work across Europe, or if you know of people or organisations that might like to work with us, we would also love to hear from you. Please contact Lucy Reid, our Mission Engagement Officer at lucy.reid@ten-uk.org or on 0117 961 5161.
