Help Me Get Back to Europe to Spread the Gospel!!

          I have some exciting news! I have been requested to come back to Europe this summer to help spread the gospel. Last year’s mission trip with The Collective was quite effective and there is great demand to reach Europeans with the truth of the gospel through the medium of hip-hop. I’ve been invited by a missionary based in the Paris area, who is with Greater Europe Mission (GEM). GEM is an inter-denominational family of Christ-followers focused on evangelism, discipleship multiplication, and church planting. This is pivotal because after I leave Europe, individuals who were impacted will be followed-up with and have the opportunity to join Christ-centered faith communities where they can grow and help advance the Kingdom.

 The Problem: 
           The Christian growth rate in Europe over the past 100 years is the lowest in the world. Can you believe that 400 million Europeans have never opened a Bible? Europe is the least-reached continent in the world. Less than 1% of the population of France follows Jesus as personal Lord and Savior. What was once a great center of Christian theology and reform is now a spiritual desert. Europe is familiar with religion, but the knowledge and experience keep most from discovering a life-changing relationship with Jesus. The lost in Europe must hear the gospel, and this summer, I plan to share it with them through this catalytic missional ministry opportunity.

What/When/Where:
          I have a unique opportunity to merge Missions and hip-hop in European cities. From June 18-July 1 I will be sharing Christ in the greater Paris region and in England. These places are predominately made up of atheists and are in desperate need of the gospel. Myself, along with another Christian artist Tha KiddJopp (Christcentric) will use the medium of hip-hop to gather crowds and openly share about salvation in Jesus.

Why hip-hop?:
          These countries are fascinated with American hip-hop, which gives us an immediate ministry platform. Hundreds will hear the Gospel as we do street evangelism, perform at free open air concerts, secular music venues, musical festivals, open mic nights, schools and cyphers. After the concerts we will engage with the audience and local hip-hop communities, sharing the gospel one-on-one. We cannot wait to see God do mighty things as he restores Europe!

You:
          Here’s where you come in. Each Christian artist is responsible for raising the needed funds for his own food, housing, and travel expenses. Financially I cannot get to these countries on my own. Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me to reach lost Europeans by making a financial contribution of $50, $100, $250, or some other amount? (no amount is too small)

How to contribute? 
          Check (Mail to Stephen Brindle attn: Missions Trip 429 S. 48TH St. Apt. 401 Philadelphia PA 19143) PayPal (send contribution to stephenbrindle@gmail.com) You can use DONATE button below.

Alongside financial partners, I need a team of prayer warriors. Please pray: 
-That right now, God would begin to prepare the hearts of those we will share Christ with.
-That we would be filled with the Holy Spirit and fervent about spreading God's Truth.
-For opportunities to minister deeply to the Europeans.
-For boldness to proclaim the gospel.
-For safe travels.

 Thank you for considering partnering with me in this adventure! Please inbox me if you are interested in supporting me financially or through prayer so I can give you more details about the trip.

 Thanks,
Stephen Brindle
