Acts 29’s Europe Conference was held May 15–17 in Riga, Latvia, and welcomed over 150 church planters, pastors, and leaders from around the world. The conference was anchored on the book of Isaiah and its theme of finding strength and hope amid fear. In their three days together, conference participants heard from speakers Philip Moore, Tomáš Henžel, JD Gilmore, and Scott Zeller, along with various workshop options—all focused on combating fear with gospel hope.
The conference was intentionally held in Latvia, which currently has no Acts 29 churches. We wanted to see what church planting efforts were already happening in the region and connect with potential planters to advance the gospel in the Baltics. Nearly 10 percent of those in attendance were from Latvia, although Acts 29 has no presence in the area. On the final day of the conference, Acts 29 leaders hosted an Interest Breakfast for potential partners and church planters. There were over 20 people who attended this breakfast who were eager to learn about planting and partnering with Acts 29!
Philip Moore, Acts 29 regional director for Europe, said, “We pray this conference is a catalyst for church planting in the north-eastern part of Europe and that meaningful partnerships will be born to nurture a humble yet ambitious mission for Jesus.” In 2023, 11 churches joined Acts 29 in Europe—and we hope to see many more this year! Thank you for your partnership in church planting in Europe.

How might churches faithfully engage evangelism in today’s culture and world? As Justin Anderson points out, “If there’s ever been a time to have a strategy for evangelism, now is that time.” Listen below for further insight from Justin’s session at the 2023 Advance Conference in Portland.

Interested in attending an Acts 29 regional event? Visit acts29.com/events to learn more and join us on the road in 2024!Alaska is a fifth the size of the continental US and large enough to hold as many as 19 states within its boundaries. There are 732,000 people spread across its land, living in large cities with modern amenities and remote villages accessible only by plane, boat, or snowmachine. In Alaska, multiplying the gospel requires the church and supporting organizations to work together to make disciples and plant churches.
In February, Acts 29 churches in Alaska gathered for our second “Multiply Together” Advance Regional Conference. We hosted 100 attendees representing 15 churches across Alaska, along with three missions organizations who serve these churches with airplane support and encouragement. Additionally, some neighbors from Canada and global partners from Sweden joined us.
Two areas of focus at this gathering were why we plant churches and why we plant churches together. In answering these questions, I can’t help but look back over the past five years and give thanks for the fruit birthed out of collaborating with like-minded brothers and sisters in the network.
Over the past five years, Acts 29 Alaska churches have prayed for people, places, and provisions—to see more and better churches planted throughout Alaska. The Lord has graciously answered these prayers in part as we’ve grown from five partner churches to 13 and created a fund that has raised $30,000 to support church planters in the region!
This year’s conference was held at Peninsula Grace Church. Just two years ago, they attended this same conference and were compelled to join Acts 29. They’ve also developed global partnerships with an Acts 29 church in Sweden and are seeking to establish a residency program to help plant more and better churches in our area. We’re grateful for all God is doing in and through Acts 29 Alaska and look forward to all that is ahead.

Church planting movements are a subject of much discussion in missiology. There are many who think it is a horrible practice while others say it is a Holy Spirit driven movement. This seminar is not designed to say who is right, but will focus on the background, motivations and where we are at this moment on the issue. The goal is to see how this movement formed so that we can cultivate a more robust theological discussion concerning the pros and cons of this approach to church planting and missions.
