    Diaspora Churches in Sweden

    The so-called diaspora churches have become an important part of Swedish Christianity. During the last couple of decades around 300 churches have been planted here by people from a non-Swedish culture or nationality, mostly – but not exclusively – in larger cities.

    God calls many to be like Esther

    In many places in Switzerland, a number of Ukrainian or Russian worship services, prayer and Bible groups have already been established. To support these efforts, on Friday, June 24, we organized with our network a national meeting of Ukrainians who are working in Switzerland in a key spiritual role. We called this meeting “Ukrainian Swiss Christian Summit.” About 50 people participated. Our target group were Ukrainians who have taken on a key spiritual role (pastors, leaders of prayer and Bible groups…) and Swiss representatives of churches who offer spiritual ministries for Ukrainians.

    UK Church response to Ukrainian refugees

    Time and time again Welcome Churches has been encouraged by the way the Church has stepped up to be at the forefront of welcoming those seeking refuge in the UK. After the rapid takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban in August 2021 approximately 20,000 people arrived in the UK, almost overnight, and the UK church mobilised to welcome Afghan families and provide practical help. Amidst the tragedy of the war in Ukraine, we have once again seen stories of hope emerging from the UK church as they welcome refugees into their communities.

Hope under Pressure

  • Hope under Pressure
    Hope under Pressure

    Europe feels tense. Russia is testing NATO and the fear of war on our continent is no longer an abstract scenario but a daily news item. At the same time, internal polarisation is increasing. Right-wing extremism and violence are becoming bolder—as seen in the riots in The Hague on Saturday, 22 September. The combination of external threats and internal divisions weighs heavily on the hearts of many Europeans. For many, the word “hope” seems fragile, even naïve.

    Editorial – The power of relationships in times of hope under pressure

    When I think of relationships, I first think about the first one we read about in the Bible. The relationship between the Godhead. “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness…” Genesis 1:26. This relationship is followed quickly by a second relationship in Genesis 2:18, “The LORD God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.’

    According to the latest Gallup study – a large-scale, ongoing survey that tracks public opinion and well-being across the globe – the greatest need people express today is hope.
    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.

    The Miracle of Hope: A Gift for Ukraine

    Alexander Pope’s line still speaks across the centuries, especially in times like ours—marked by war, upheaval, and deep uncertainty. The truth of it is being tested in Ukraine more than anywhere else in Europe today. What is it that causes Ukrainians—bombed, displaced, bereaved—to continue believing, rebuilding, resisting, and praying? How can hope still survive such devastation?

    Hope under Pressure – the Ukrainian perspective

    Despite the daily threat of shelling, the Kherson Pentecostal Church had a water baptism on the first Sunday of August for those willing proclaim their faith publicly and to enter into a covenant with the Lord. It was not possible to use the Dnipro River, as it was before the war. The ceremony took place in a specially equipped, festively decorated pool located in a churchyard of Kherson safer district.

    Hope under pressure – Prayer Perspective

    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.  I really enjoyed sailing as close to the wind as possible.  When there was a great gust of wind, it sometimes happened that my boat capsized and I had to try to get the boat back up.

    Welcome to June! This month we leave Spring behind and enter Summer. It has been a long and challenging year, and summer has it’s own set of challenges. While some things get quieter, other things get busier – camps, kid’s programs, less human resources in church (logistic challenges). It is also the time that we usually try and fit in our holiday, to get a break from the hectic pace of the other seasons.
