ADIMIShare – Best-Practice Examples for Revival and Church Planting

At the end of April, participants from 10 countries once again joined online for the ADIMIShare event, eager to explore inspiring, real-life ministry projects. This was already the third gathering of the Gospel in Focus series, bringing together people who feel called to mission and are interested in contemporary Christian communication and the manifestation of the gospel in our secular society.

During this session, three projects were presented. One of them was led by Ilse Chew in Northern England near Newcastle. His innovative approach focuses on small groups and house fellowships, reaching people with no prior connection to Christianity through personal relationships and accessible home environments. With strong training structures and a clear vision, the project has grown into a network of over 30 groups and has already led to church planting.

Another inspiring example came from Vladimir Krumov, a former Friedensau student, who presented the VIVO church planting project in Bulgaria. Built on the principles of faith, values, influence, and fellowship, the initiative combines spiritual life, community building, and social engagement, resulting in a vibrant and growing community.

Finally, participants were introduced to a project in Germany led by an Iranian-born brother whose life journey has been deeply shaped by his personal encounter with God. After discovering faith, he dedicated his life to sharing the message of Christianity and introducing Jesus Christ to Iranian people. His work highlights the importance of cross-cultural mission and personal testimony in reaching those from different religious backgrounds.

After the presentations, participants had the opportunity to ask questions, allowing for deeper dialogue and a more detailed understanding of each project.
