Thomas of Kempis said, “The more a man dies to himself, the more he begins to live unto God.” God placed the call for missions on Evelyne's heart when she was young, but she didn’t know how it would practically play out. Last summer, she served with Greater Europe Mission's Ten2 Project in Mexborough, UK. Serving alongside Love Mexborough, a community outreach program, and Hope is Here, a church plant, Evelyne witnessed what it looked like to meet the needs of your community with your time, energy, and resources. This experience opened her heart to the European mission field, lighting a fire in her heart to see the lost saved throughout Europe. 

This summer, Evelyne Holland is serving with Greater Europe Mission’s Ten2 Project in Northern Ireland alongside Soul Catalyst Films, focusing on media ministry. As technology evolves, media ministry is vital in reaching people with the Gospel. It breaks traditional communication barriers, offering more personal and relatable opportunities to discuss the Gospel. It also encourages discipleship through timely, Biblically-based content like films, TV shows, YouTube videos, and podcasts, just to name a few.  

Most European countries have a population of fewer than 3% who claim a relationship with Jesus. Many Europeans can go their entire lives, never interacting with a follower of Jesus. Europe is also an intersection of world cultures. A once “reached” Europe is now “unreached.” “With nearly 2,000 recognized people groups in Europe, the world at large seems to call Europe “home.” Ongoing migration trends continue to bring more and more people from all over the globe into and throughout the continent of Europe. By mid-2021, there were over 26.6 million refugees and 48 million internally displaced persons due to conflict. This means discipleship in Europe has reached a critical point, especially as we continue to see migrants and refugees relocating to European countries, many of whom have never heard the name of Jesus and come from lands that Christians have little to no access to. This solidifies Europe as the epicenter of the crossroads of the world. The global influence of Europe is unmatched. Former French Prime Minister Nicolas Sarkozy once stated, “Europe is not a choice; it is a necessity, but it needs to be rethought, refounded.” A gospel revival across Europe is critical since “all the roads that lead to Rome” also lead to the ends of the earth. For the Great Commission to be completed, Europe must be understood by all followers of Jesus.” (Greater Europe Mission, Why Europe, 2025)
