EI mobilizes teams of Christians to partner with European churches and ministries on a variety of short-term mission trips. We serve as a spiritual bridge between continents, and facilitate trips that thrust believers from around the world to the spiritual frontlines of Europe. EI teams focus on one or more of our 5 initiatives: evangelism, humanitarian aid, equipping the church, prayer & worship, and blessing the Jewish people. We believe that as the Body of Christ unites and the Gospel is shared from city to city, a spiritual awakening will take place. false false 978948 227461 In 2023, European Initiative continued its efforts to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout Europe. We mobilized our staff and more than 425 volunteers, both Europeans and Americans, to 20 nations. Approximately 60,000 Europeans were reached and more than 550 made decisions for Christ. Most of the volunteers came from 19 different American church and Bible school groups whom EI mobilized to Europe. Additionally, we continued our mission to equip and inspire Europeans partner churches to evangelize and impact their nations.Beginning in January and continuing through the spring, EI staff and volunteers drove cargo vans into Ukraine, delivering tens of thousands of dollars of humanitarian aid, bringing hope to the war-torn nation. Commencing from our base in Budapest, Hungary, we focused much of support in delivering generators to help with Ukraine's compromised power grid. The generators were used to supply electricity and heat in a public school, a foster care facility, and other public use buildings. EI staff and volunteers made multiple trips to Romania, delivering several thousand dollars in food supplies to assist the indigent Roma people. Additionally, from March-April, EI staff and volunteers went into Eastern Turkey several times to serve the survivors in the earthquake zone. In all, EI gave more than $50,000 in humanitarian aid and served more than 5,000 people in the 3 nations. 978948 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 13 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 4 3 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X Yvonne Gerdt 2142846727 805 Yorkshire Dr Grand Prairie TX 75050 Jeffrey Serio Chairman 40.00 0.00 X X 51760 0 66840 Olen Griffing Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew Lankenau Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael Knight Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 51760 66840 0 false false false 0 769792 769792 Missions and Outreach 227461 227461 227461 2511 2511 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 999764 229972 0 0 137068 137068 0 118600 106740 11860 43200 38880 4320 278896 251006 27890 0 0 20669 18602 2067 0 0 38626 34763 3863 0 0 0 6381 5743 638 15466 13919 1547 1384 1246 138 5891 5302 589 0 25010 22509 2501 323169 290852 32317 0 1526 1373 153 0 0 6142 5528 614 0 Miscellaneous 24598 22138 2460 Bank Fee 12242 11018 1224 Postage and Shipping 8007 7206 801 Contract Labor 2763 2487 276 2854 2568 286 1072492 978948 93544 0 472351 376221 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 77389 55894 27637 21495 0 0 0 0 5341 5339 505329 403055 4734 4734 67612 38066 72346 42800 X 432983 360255 432983 360255 505329 403055 -72728 X false false false X 816922 676100 918077 1407443 997253 4815795 0 0 816922 676100 918077 1407443 997253 4815795 280349 4535446 0 0 0 4815795 0.94180 0.99490 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 77389 55894 21495 21495 Credit Card Payable 37369 Payroll Taxes Payable 696 Rounding 1 38066 true Europe 1 11 Program Service See Part V 137068 1 11 1 11 137068 137068 Assets for indigents Europe 5000 50000 Cash false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US All organizations that receive funds from European Initiative are normally given funds for specific projects and purposes.
