Evangelical leaders from 56 nations gather in Berlin for the European Congress for Evangelization, which is organized by Billy Graham Evangelistic Association

In Berlin, Germany, more than 1,000 evangelical pastors and ministries from 56 countries for the European Congress for Evangelization will be gathered later this month. The event organized by Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) will take place from May 27th to 30th in the JW Marriott Hotel.

Around Romans 1: 16-“Because I am not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God that brings everyone to redemption: first to the Jews, then to the non-Jews”-the congress is only for invitations that only gather the invitation congress in Europe in 2000 in 2000.

Christian Daily International will report on the front front before the congress, in which there are 20 speakers from 13 countries and offer a simultaneous interpretation in 10 languages. The organizers say that the event “should encourage and equip the faithful of dozens of denominations to re -ish the church with a passion for the brave and biblical proclamation evangelization”.

Franklin Graham, President and CEO of BGEA and Convenor of the Congress, emphasized the importance of stopping the event in Berlin – where his father, the late evangelist Billy Graham, convened the first World Congress for Evangelization in 1966.

“The city of Berlin has influenced the world in every area. What a place from which you can scream the world – Christian is the savior!” Billy Graham said in his opening speech almost six decades ago.

This historical meeting laid the basis for future international congresses, including the Lausanne Congress in 1974 in Switzerland and subsequent meetings in Amsterdam in 1983, 1986 and 2000.

“It was the Christians in Europe who crossed the ocean and brought the gospel to the United States four centuries ago, and I am grateful for the faithful in Europe who are still a brave and loyal witness to Jesus Christ,” said Franklin Graham, who has been preaching in 19 European countries since 1999.

“The good news of Jesus Christ and the truth of the Word of God is the greatest need in today’s world, and it is an honor for BGEA to come and encourage the faithful in Europe to bring the gospel to its communities and the ends of the world,” he added.

The program also includes the adoration, which includes the three-time Grammy award winner Michael W. Smith, the charity organization Gayle, the award-winning worship manager, and several European Christian artists.

“The Church in Europe has to rise with fresh self -confidence,” said Dr. Hugh Osgood, President of the Great Britain -based ministries in the communities internationally. “The European Evangelization Congress will offer inspiration, strength and trust in the gospel that enables us.

The participating speakers include Graham, Executive Vice President of the BGEA, who deals with the importance of expansion of an invitation to preach the gospel. His sister, Cissie Graham Lynch, senior consultant and spokeswoman for the BGEA and moderator of the Fearless Podcast, will serve as an interview host during the event.

Other confirmed speakers are:

Greg Laurie, evangelist and founder of Harvest Crusades, who will talk about “The Gift and the Evangelist’s gift”.

Päivi Ränen, Finnish MP and author, known to give legal persecution on public expressions of biblical values ​​that will tackle “the commitment to the gospel under persecution in Europe”.

Daniele Pasquale, director of the Biblico Evangelico Italiano Instituto, spoke about the centrality of discipleship in the Gospel Ministry.

Albert Mohler, President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, presented “Jesus, the unique Son of God”.

Rev. Mariusz Mussczyński, pastor and Pentecostal leader in Poland, spoke about unity in the gospel.

Among those who look forward to the event are Marc van de Wouwer, a 66-year-old evangelist and retired member of the Belgian Federal Justice Police. He remembered the effects of participation in the Amsterdam congress in 2000.

“At that time there were very few evangelists in Belgium,” said van de Wouwer. “I also wanted to renew my vision to announce the gospel and acquire new tools.”

The Amsterdam event of 25 years ago inspired van de Wouwer to found an evangelistic organization in Belgium, in addition to organizing his own evangelization congress. He is very interested in participating in the Congress in Berlin and investing in the next generation of evangelists.

“When I see the effects of congresses in my own life and ministry as well as in the life of many ministers that I know, I think they are important to promote and promote evangelists,” he said.

“The world without Christ needs committed and sent evangelists who can spread the good news of redemption and their passion for Jesus. Congresses for evangelists on a global level play an important role in this goal.”
