Our Trips
In addition to organizing trips for churches and Bible colleges, EI offers individuals the opportunity to serve in Europe on any of our open trips. An open trip is comprised of team members coming from different backgrounds, churches, and nations. Experience the diversity of the body of Christ as you minister and unite with believers from all over the world to reach the lost and expand God’s kingdom.
THE GOTH FEST – May 25 - 29, 2023
Every spring, more than 25,000 people travel to Leipzig, Germany, for the world’s largest Gothic festival. Yes, the Goth fest is visually shocking and not for the faint of heart. It is one of the most spiritually extreme trips of our year. But we ask you: if Jesus were to walk the earth today – would He go?
European Initiative invites you to join us for our 14th year of outreach at this event. After the festival, join our staff in Berlin for 4 more days of ministry in the German capital. It is time for these lost sons and daughters to come home. Will you join us? Message us to sign up today.
Go 40- June 23 - August 4, 2023
Go 40 is an Acts 13 missionary journey throughout Europe. The vision was birthed in 2020, during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. As Europe reeled from the confusion and devastation of the crisis, God sovereignly spoke to EI’s Founder, Jeff Serio, to mobilize a team of Christians to Europe for 40 days that summer. This team would divide into four teams that would embark on four missionary journeys going north, south, east, and west across Europe. After witnessing God powerfully working in and through the lives of the team to reach a lost Europe, EI mobilized its second Go 40 team in 2021. The four teams shared the gospel in Italy, Greece, Ukraine, France, Moldova, Turkey, Spain, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, and more. We are excited to announce we will be offering Go 40 again in 2023.

Go 20- August 18 - September 6, 2023
Go20 grew out of a desire to mobilize European believers in a summer missionary journey. Our heart is to see Christ followers from across this continent rise up and boldly share the good news of Jesus. For this purpose, our Go20 team spends twenty days traveling from city to city, spreading the gospel and connecting with churches everywhere they go. Evangelism is the primary focus of the trip. The team most often ministers in busy urban areas by striking up conversations with people and then moving into deeper discussions of the gospel, bringing those who are interested into connection with local believers. However, don’t be surprised if you wind up preparing a kid’s program or performing dramas in a packed city square - anything for the chance to communicate the love of Jesus. We are excited to announce we will be offering Go 20 again in 2023!

MISSION ROMANIA – 2023 TRIP FILLED
This upcoming January, for the 13th consecutive year, European Initiative is leading an international team of Christians to Romania — one of Europe’s most impoverished nations — to bless the Roma (Gypsy) people.
During the trip, the team will go home to home in Roma villages sharing the gospel, praying for the sick, and delivering essential food and clothing items to help the Roma survive the harsh winter months. The team will also encourage the local church, minister in public schools, and more.
Even today, the Roma are still despised and marginalized by society, making it a struggle for them to receive fair education and job opportunities. As a consequence, they are often enslaved by addiction, poverty and lifeless forms of religion. Yet Christ came to set the captives free — this is your opportunity to be His hands and feet and release hope to the hopeless.
This trip has been filled for 2023, to stay notified about 2024 trip dates, please email us and we will add you to our list!
MISSION UKRAINE – DATES COMING SOON
