Euro InTent
Developing Leaders For Church Planting Movements Across EuropeRegion
Pioneers in Europe is a growing international body of over 270 servants with a goal of seeing church planting movements spread across the continent. We passionately desire to see the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus grow and expand in all our lands.
Purpose
One of the necessities we have as a body of workers is for life-long equipping of our members to increase capacity for leadership in our Lord’s work. We have seen that better leaders make better church planters who can then foster a multiplication of new churches by God’s grace.
Pioneers in Europe, in conjunction with other Pioneers fields, has developed a process called Euro InTent to help meet this need. Based on Exodus 33:7-11 of Moses personally meeting the Lord in the tent, we desire each participant in Euro InTent to similarly meet with the Lord and grow in Him.
Focus
- Spiritual life and character
- Interpersonal relationships and networking
- Foundational knowledge
- Tasks and skills in ministry
- Mentoring
- Disciplines of critical thinking and biblical reflection
Exodus 33:7-11
Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp. Whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would rise up, and each would stand at his tent door, and watch Moses until he had gone into the tent. When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent, and the Lord would speak with Moses. And when all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would rise up and worship, each at his tent door. Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his assistant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.
History
So far in Europe we have completed four cycles of Euro InTent. Each cycle is a two-year leadership development process including mentoring and other activities punctuated by three face-to-face residentials. About 90 of us in Europe have benefitted from this process and are serving the Lord more joyfully and fruitfully to see His Church grow and multiply for His glory.

Several years ago I attended Euro InTent and I loved it! I’ve been in ministry a long time but as I reflect back on the value of this program, I realize that it met needs in my life that I hadn’t realized were there. What I learned challenged me to look at both personal and ministry decisions with a fresh pair of eyes. And as I shared these joys and struggles of ministry life, it was a significant gift to receive unbiased support and advice from like-minded individuals who understood my journey. Through InTent I also discovered more of whom Jesus created me to be. This not only affected me deeply but was a great benefit as I returned to my team, national partnerships and ministry.
For two years Euro InTent led me on a unique journey. With such a wide range of readings topics and speakers, I am sure all participants will experience as I did, moments that feel as if God has hand-designed it just for them. I truly believe they will find it to be energizing, intellectually stimulating and a refreshment for their souls.
I am praying for this next round of participants. May Euro InTent’s valuable mix of new friendships, fresh insights and uninterrupted time away with Jesus add a richness to their lives as it did to mine.
