European Initiative (EI) was birthed in the hearts of Jeff and Barbara Serio in December 2006. While praying about his overwhelming concern for the spiritual condition of Europe, Jeff felt impressed by God to lead a “spiritual airlift” into Europe. Reminiscent of the Berlin Airlift of 1948, European Initiative was formed to be a spiritual bridge between America and Europe.
The vision of European Initiative is to mobilize thousands of Christians to ignite a spiritual awakening in Europe. EI “airlifts” or mobilizes teams of Christians and respected leaders to partner with European churches and ministries to advance God’s Kingdom in Europe. Teams focus on one or more of EI’s 5 initiatives: evangelism, compassion, teaching, prayer, and Jewish ministry.
