Germany: Almost 70 percent of the German people are “affiliated” with the Christian church. About 33 percent are Roman Catholic; another 34 percent belong to various Protestant denominations. The majority of churches have lost their purpose and identity. Twenty-seven percent of the population is classified as “non-religious.”

European Volunteer Support
Your gift provides the resources to help volunteer missionaries in Europe with such events as retreats, visits and guest visitors. You will help reach about 2,000 youth and 200 national staff with the Gospel. Volunteer missionaries, working as EFL teachers in select Lutheran Schools as well in certain congregations, provide a strong Christian witness to the youth in the region.

Germany Frankfurt International Congregation
LCMS World Mission supports the ministry of several "international" or "expatriate" congregations around the world. These congregations generally minister in English to the expatriate community in the area. Many of these congregations need support, due to the nature of the high-mobility membership. Expatriates usually do not stay in the community and church.

Germany Kuekes Support
Katie Kuekes serves as a GEO missionary—specifically as a communication specialist—through LCMS World Mission. She is based in Germany, but travels throughout Europe and the former Soviet Union to assist missionaries in communicating more effectively with their North American congregations and to document the work of LCMS World Mission in this region. As part of this work, Katie produces short films and takes photos to elaborate on missionaries’ work. Your support will help Katie continue to document and share the good news about how God is moving in these countries!

Your gift here helps all Eurasia work!
