Eastern Europe
In 2019, Lynwood began a 5-year partnership to support strategic church-planting in Eastern Europe. This partnership focuses on investing in the leadership capacity of multiple church planters. Working through a church-planting network, Lynwood invests in monthly video calls with church-planters helping them to think through challenges specific to leading a church. These calls have been vital to the leadership development of these pastors. Lynwood also makes a financial investment in these churches in order to provide resources necessary to grow the churches.
In addition to specific leadership training, Lynwood sends teams to Eastern Europe in order to provide leadership training to the entire church-planting network. These trainings have focused on increasing the pastors’ Biblical understanding, technical skill, leadership ability, and personal family. Building up these pastors and their leadership capacity is a strategic manner in which we can further the vital work of church-planting in Eastern Europe.
A unique and exciting component of Lynwood’s work in Europe is the long-term relationship with those who have a long-time history of serving the people there. Working with these individuals to creatively meet needs of Eastern Europeans has opened numerous doors for gospel-focused ministry in this part of the world. Through the years, Lynwood teams have conducted women’s retreats, marriage conferences, music concerts, and training for working with individuals with special needs in order to share their love of Christ in Eastern Europe!​
