Picture yourself exploring iconic cities like Ephesus and Prague, not merely as travellers, but as an ambassador of Jesus-Christ on a sacred mission – to spread the light of Christ with hearts hungry for hope and peace. Join the Race Across Europe for seniors and let your faith be the compass that guides you on this remarkable missionary journey

 

Race Across Europe serves as a platform for personal growth, deepening one's relationship with God, and discovering one's purpose in sharing the gospel and serving others. It's about embracing adventure, stepping out of comfort zones, and living out the gospel values of love, kindness, generosity, and humility in a global context. We want to see people grow in their relationship with God and step out to have an impact in Europe.

 

Race Across Europe for Seniors is a unique opportunity that combines the excitement of interrailing with missionary journey. Over the course of 2 weeks, participants will travel through various European countries Belgium, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey. There they will be engaging in a range of activities aimed at serving local communities and sharing the gospel with people from different cultures and backgrounds.

 

Key Activities:

1. Serve with OM teams in destination countries: Engage in meaningful service activities such as refugee ministry, House visits (with or without food parcels). Physical work (cleaning houses, renovations, gardening work). Bible Study groups and Church attendance as requested by OM team in destination countries. This is an opportunity to demonstrate Christ's love through actions.

2. Evangelism: Share your faith through respectful conversations, prayer walks, or organised outreach events. Be sensitive to cultural differences and prioritise love and understanding.

3. Fellowship & Reflection: Spend time bonding with others through Bible studies, worship and prayer meetings. Reflect on your experiences, challenges and spiritual growth throughout the journey.

 

Participants must be passionate about sharing their faith, excited about meeting new people and keen to travel! Race Across Europe is aimed at those aged 50 -75 years old.

 

Prior to departure, participants will receive training and orientation sessions to equip them for the mission ahead, including cultural sensitivity training, evangelism workshops, and logistical briefings.

 

This outreach consists of 2 elements of training and equipping throughout the journey:

Pre-travel training

Debriefing at the end of the journey
