WORKSHOPS ON THURSDAY:

Dr. Robinson will outline the fundamental principles and strategies involved in these movements. Bro will share practical and clear details on how to do it – even in your location.
2 – REFUGEE FOLLOW-UP
Coordination Stefan & Helga R. God is doing amazing things in Europe today. We feel what is happening among refugees all over Europe today is historic. Practitioners will report best practices and share their experiences to inspire us. Many of the refugees are coming from regions who had very little access to the Gospel till now. But there are still thousands of unreached people groups which need to be reached.
3 – SHORT-TERM MISSIONS
How to organise short-term mission in a missions organisation? An example from Fida International. How did they start and how does it function today?

The Kairos course is spreading to many nations in Europe, equipping and mobilising the church for God’s mission to reach the lost in Europe and beyond.  Kairos courses were recently conducted in France, Poland and Latvia for the first time.  The goal is to mobilise the church for cross-cultural mission at home and beyond.
Is Kairos already being utilised in your country? We will be glad to introduce the course and help you to encourage and mobilise the church in your country for missions.

Coordination Craig Mathison. How to develop a strong prayer support for missions in your movement and church?
WORKSHOPS ON FRIDAY:
1 – UPG / ADOPT A PEOPLE
Coordination Stefan & Helga R. To be effective in reaching the unreached, a good tool is to adopt a people group. While pastoring a church in southern Germany, the Rosses saw what happened when their church did adopt an unreached people group. A long-term process and commitment lead into various steps in missions, and in the life of the church.
2 – DISCIPLING NATIONS

In the developing world where the church is growing explosively, this is happening even in the most hostile environments. Some leaders have personally planted over 500 churches each!

4 – TENTMAKING MISSIONS
Coordination Veera Hug. How can a missions organisation tie tentmaking missions to become an effective and fruit-bearing part of their ministry and strategy? At the heart of it all is a burden for the unreached peoples of this earth, and a burden to see the often sleeping missionary potential in our churches equipped and sent out.
5 – WESTERN BALKANS IN SPOTLIGHT 
Coordination Stefan Rizell and Rauli Lehtonen. Before the PEM Consultation, church leaders from Western Balkans meet with mission leaders who are focusing on the area. This workshop is for all who want to build bridges and work together with others in this yet unevangelised region of Europe.
