European Ministry Overview

 

Entrust (formerly BEE International) started as a ministry in Europe when in 1979 a historic meeting was held in Vienna, Austria to discuss the opportunities for training the next generation of Christian leaders in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.

 

Key leaders from 20 different missions and several nationals from Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania and Russia attended. After three days of discussion and prayer, an inter-mission effort was launched. BEE International (Biblical Education by Extension), now Entrust, was formed to help national churches develop systematic training for their present and future leadership. In the 1980s, four departments evolved: training, publishing, distribution and women’s ministries.

 

Entrust began in the countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. When communism fell, we changed strategies and organization to match social, cultural and ecclesiastical developments. Residential schools, church-based training centers, and publishing efforts have grown out of the main extension-based education efforts. Curriculum has been adapted to be culturally relevant and address current needs. We continue to work in these countries—with Central and Eastern Europeans and Russians owning more of the ministry—as well as develop new leadership training in other countries.
