"And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent."

25 years ago as a teenager I took a mission trip to Saltsjöbaden, Sweden with a small team from our church in Maine. There we evangelised on the street and ministered to the church in Stockholm. It changed my life. As a troubled teen struggling in high school, Christ met me on the streets of Sweden on that mission trip and graciously gave me a call to foreign missions with this verse - "Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men". Shortly after that exciting week of outpouring and evangelism, I went to Bible School in Lenox, Mass with a burning heart.

That really is my prayer for this mission trip that we've called "e.Quad". With young men and women from Baltimore, Finland and Poland, our prayer is that a vision of Christ; the maker of fishers of men, would be embedded in their hearts. Please join us and check this blog for updates and info regarding the trip as well as future trips.

eQuad; Intro to Vision

Bryan Ackerman and Kyle Benoit here,

We are two Bible college students in Baltimore, whose hearts have been stirred for the possibilities and potential that God has for eastern Europe.

Earlier this year we spent two weeks in Europe. Starting with EuroCon 2008 and following that with a trip to the four churches of Poland with Pastor Chris Moore. Returning to the states we were burdened to pray for the precious work in Poland. Our weekly prayer meetings expanded and God led us in the vision to pray for all the churches throughout eastern Europe.

eQuad.

The furtherance of that vision, stirring deeper in our hearts, is to visit the ministries of eastern Europe. The plan for this first new and exciting venture is to travel through Germany, Poland, Ukraine and Czech Rep., followed by a visit to Austria and Zagreb in the summer of 2009.

The theme in our hearts for eQuad09 is, Zephaniah 3.17 The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.

We'll be posting an array of devotional thoughts, summarizations of the plans going forward and communication of the intra-european prayer requests.
