    When we think about Freedom of Religion or Belief, we often think about ‘the persecuted church’, brothers and sisters in North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Eritrea, or Pakistan who are paying a heavy price for following Jesus. And they do, no doubt about it. But the term ‘the persecuted church’, justified as the use may be, can easily create a certain distance.

    Religious Freedom and the Italian Evangelical Alliance

    In Italy, if you are not Roman Catholic, you can sometimes feel second class. And sometimes you really are treated as second class in religious matters. But the Italian Evangelical Alliance rejects a sense of victimhood. They do not minimise the challenges that faith minorities face. But they do not want to be obsessed by them. Nor do they want Evangelicals withdrawing from society.

    Information is the start towards change

    If you want to know how to strengthen your religious freedom, you need to start by knowing what is happening. And then the next step is to share the information with others so that they may be willing to help. The Association of Protestant Churches in Turkey (EEA’s member body in Turkey) really understand these two points.

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.
