North Americans have invested in the lives of people in Europe and the Mediterranean through Greater Europe Mission (GEM) for 60 years. The GEM history is a story of God using His children to share His message of love with those who haven’t heard. GEM missionaries focus on being disciples, reflecting Christ wherever and however they serve. They’re ordinary people doing extraordinary things in order to make disciples. This takes place through relationships and service in the name of Christ. It happens in the context of community and, in some cases, through Business as Mission. As Christ-followers disciple all peoples of Europe through rapidly reproducing churches, God is expanding His Kingdom through those peoples to the world.
