The European Evangelical Alliance is privileged to have loads of fantastic networks but we especially want to honour the European Freedom Network this year.

Hope is the bridge between present and future. People often feel anxious when they worry about what lies ahead. But hope gives us a different perspective.

Alexander Pope’s line still speaks across the centuries, especially in times like ours—marked by war, upheaval, and deep uncertainty.

When I found a sailboat at my disposal as a teenage boy, I found no greater pleasure in it than to fight alone with the element of wind and water in very rough weather.
