Jim serves as
director of development for EuroBoost, a Europe-wide strategy to
accelerate church planting. In collaboration with AGWM Europe
area directors and National Churches, EuroBoost enables partners
to invest in launching new church projects, with a focus on
Central Europe, Eastern Europe and the Northern Adriatic. The
Knutsens have lived in Europe for eight years and have
ministered in France, Belgium, Holland, Spain, Scotland, Norway
and Poland in the areas of leadership education, worship leading
and formation, marriage workshops, outreach and church planting.
Following graduation from a French high school, Natalie is
continuing her studies at a US university.
EuroBoost is a
combined effort by US pastors, churches and individuals, Europe
area directors, AGWM missionaries, and European Pentecostal
Church leaders and pastors to accelerate church planting in
Europe by partnering together.
Building Nationally
Assisting national pastors is one of the key factors to making
headway in Europe. The focus of EuroBoost is to boost local
pastors to the next level by helping enable their churches to
purchase property, build a structure, or enlarge or renovate a
building.
Building Strategically
Working together is the best way to take on the task. EuroBoost
is planned, measured, and Europe-wide with a gradually
increasing sphere of focus.
Building Efficiently
Resources invested in EuroBoost go only toward targeted church
planting projects in Europe.
