European Evangelism - What is bearing fruit?

I was recently asked what evangelism approaches in Europe (East or West) that I was familiar with which were demonstrating some level of fruitfulness. Here was my quick list:

• Story of Soul – for an outreach meeting
• Soularium in initiative evangelism
• Short Film Festivals as an event
• CoJourners: Conversational Evangelism as a lifestyle
• Battle of the Bands; utilizing both local and Christian bands
• English Speaking Camps – especially for High School students
• EQ Seminars – especially for student leaders
• Life@Large revised for Italy as The Story within The Story

Transformation: A Renewed Mind

Under God's economy, nothing really changes until our minds do. Transformation is the the fruit of a changed outlook. First our minds are renewed, and then we are transformed, and then everything is different, even if it stays the same.

Mark Buchanan, The Rest of God (pg 33)

Satisfied Prayer Experience

This is up at Godsquad.com. It has proven to be a very effective means of leading a small (or large) group through an prayer experience focused on the person and work of the Holy Spirit. I have led groups from 10-4000 using this. Perhaps it will be helpful to you...
