3. You’ll inspire others by your presence and by what God is doing in your country.
4. You’ll learn from Matt Chandler how to live as elect exiles from 1 Peter.
5. You’ll learn from Steve Timmis how the gospel shapes everything and how you can start letting the gospel shape every area of your life and ministry.
6. You’ll connect with planters from the US who love church-planting in Europe and want to partner with us.
7. You’ll encourage the church in Serbia (and contribute to the Belgrade economy).

16. You’ll sing the great truths of the gospel with brothers and sisters from around Europe.
17. If you haven’t planted your church yet, you can start the assessment process.
18. If you’re a pastor of an existing church, you’ll be itching to start your next plant.
19. If you’re part of a church-planting team you will be equipped to contribute even more meaningfully to the plant.
20. If you want to partner to plant in other parts of Europe, in the 10/40 window and amongst unreached people groups, you will be connected to all the people you need to know to take the next step.
21. If you are feeling isolated in your context, you will likely meet someone else from a similar context, and you will definitely have the chance to link up with others and be supported.
