Our History

In 1944 GEM’s founder and US Navy Chaplain Bob Evans was injured by a mine in Southern France. During his recovery, he found the majority of locals did not have a personal relationship with Jesus and found his calling: to bring the Gospel to Europe. A band of passionate missionaries, lay-people, and leaders took to Bob’s vision and saw GEM expand from its evangelistic roots in France to reach across Western and Eastern Europe and even North Africa.

Through this legacy, today GEM partners with scores of ministries across Europe: from Bible-seminaries to 1000-year-old churches, from Christian camps to coffee shops, each impacting the peoples of Europe with the authentic and relevant Word of the Gospel.

Our Mission

Reaching Europe by multiplying disciples and growing Christ’s Church

What We Do

There are hundreds of opportunities to serve around Europe, whether it be on a mission trip or discovery tour, our unique internship/gap year program, a 2-3 year deployment, or the opportunity to become a career missionary. Explore opportunities to do everything from social justice and coffee-shop church to leading urban evangelism outreach projects and more. Join us as we share hope with the continent we love in order to see that hope transform the world.
