It’s become the crossroads of Europe and the Middle East. In 2015 alone, Germany took in over one million refugees. They continue to stream in from places like Syria, Tunisia, Eritrea, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.  

Paying up $5,000 per family to make the journey by land and sea, these migrants leave everything behind except the clothes on their backs. Some have buried children along the way while others have faced intense persecution.

European countries struggle to keep up with the influx of immigrants desperately fleeing the deteriorating conditions of their homelands.  

According to The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), more refugees occupy our world today than any other moment in human history, to the tune of nearly 60 million people. Equally disturbing is the fact that half of them are children. Between the crisis in Syria, the growing threat of Boko Haram in Nigeria, the conflict in Ukraine, and general violence across the globe, entire communities have been displaced.

WHAT YOU’ll DO

In the midst of this tragic situation, God is doing something remarkable. A number of the refugees arriving in Europe are members of unreached or unengaged people groups who have been previously inaccessible to Christian workers. For the first time in decades, if not centuries, we’re in a position to reach them.  

“The 10/40 window has moved to Europe,” remarked one worker.
