FEUER is a network of Europeans who are committed to the public communication of the gospel in the universities of Europe in partnership with IFES national movements.
The vision
- To identify, equip and mobilise at least one university evangelist in every country of Europe *
- For the public proclamation of the gospel to be a regular feature of university student ministry in every country of Europe *
- To establish excellent models of creative, courageous and culturally appropriate mission weeks in every country of Europe* as part of an effective year round strategy for evangelism
* In every country where there is a university
The strategy
- An annual conference to bring together current and potential university evangelists from across Europe for encouragement, training and mobilisation
- The establishment of sub-regional and national training networks for university evangelists to receive ongoing training relevant to their context
- Inviting key student leaders and staff to observe excellent models of public proclamation in mission weeks around Europe
- Sending evangelists and teams to help pioneer mission weeks in other countries or cities that have not done one before
Distinctives
We see to proclaim the gospel in a way that is…
- Culturally engaged – addressing the real needs, desires and questions of our cultures
- Christ Centred – starting where people are at we seek to build a bridge to Christ
- Compelling – we seek to make a persuasive case for both the truth and goodness of the gospel
- Creative – we make use of music, drama, film, art and testimony to supplement (but never supplant) the preaching of the gospel
- Connected – working in conjunction with personal and small group evangelism as part of a year round strategy for evangelism
- Corporate – Working in Teams with local evangelical student groups
