With the beginning of the second half of 2020 and on the occasion of the ‘Year of the Bible’ endorsed by the World Evangelical Alliance, the EEA is now focusing on a new communication theme for the next six months, ‘The Relevance of the Bible for European Societies’. Jeff Fountain, initiator of the Schuman Center for European Studies, has devoted a series of articles in his weekly column ‘Weekly Word’ to the relevance of the Bible to numerous areas of life in European society and has kindly agreed to make these articles available to the European Evangelical Alliance.

From 8 – 11 June 2020 the European Evangelical Alliance (EEA) met for its annual General Assembly. Due to the current COVID-19 crisis the physical meeting had to be cancelled, but in order to facilitate a get-together of EEA friends and members despite the circumstances, an alternative program for an online implementation was designed. For this reason, more than 130 participants from more than 25 countries gathered online for the four online meetings to take a deeper look at the inside of Evangelical entities, reflect together on the impact of European Evangelicals and jointly explore God´s work in today´s Europe.

We started off […] [the General Assembly 2020] looking at Europe and we suggested different ways we could look at Europe. But as Connie reminded us […] [in her bible study on day 3], looking and seeing are not the same thing. As the spies entered the promised land [in Numbers 13:21], it wasn´t that they saw different things; they saw things differently. And as we all know the familiar text from john 519, Jesus said, “The Son of Man does only what he sees the Father doing”. So, we started off talking about looking and I want us to finish off talking about seeing.

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.

What the next five years will bring, no one can predict with certainty. Sadly, the clouds of war seem to be gathering once more on the horizon. Re-armament is well underway.

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.

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?

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.

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.
