Three Worlds

Preparing the Church
for Global Ministry
in the 21st Century

Three Worlds employs a team of committed Christians experienced in cross-cultural ministry to engage young people in cross cultural ministry, support empowered and accountable leaders and create inter-connectivity throughout Europe and the Middle East.

ENGAGE
YOUTH

We have extensive experience organizing local and regional camps, creating children's, youth and young adult ministries as well as establishing internships and providing immersion opportunities to engage young people

SUPPORT
LEADERS

Ministry can be challenging especially in Europe and the Middle East. Our team focuses on providing support, resources and mentorship for accountable leaders. Our concentration is on leaders under 45 as very few young people choose ministry as a career.

CREATE CONNECTIVITY

If you want tangible ways to encourage churches in Europe/Middle East, Three Worlds is constantly creating points of connection. Isolation has effected so many in our region and we hope to combat the discouragement together.

Services

Consulting

Evaluating and Supporting

Re-calibrating Together

3W assists churches and other organizations in Europe, the Middle East, and North America as they try to re-configure to be more effective in mission or to increase their effectiveness working with youth or dealing with the "three worlds" of Christianity being expressed today. We have assisted churches in Texas, Greece, Italy, U.K., Egypt, and many other locations.

3W Leadership Network (3WLN)

Creating a Network of Support

Three Worlds Leadership Network (3WLN) was launched October 2015 and is the first ever multinational network of Church of God young leaders in Europe and the Middle East. The purpose of the network is to encourage interconnectivity and foster ongoing involvement amongst the 14 countries. This is not just a biennial event, but has helped create opportunities for training, encouragement and synergistic regional strategizing. By attending members are committing to engaging with the network via communication (FB, text, email etc.) and actively seeking connection through encouraging visits, participating in camps, assisting with training and ministry events. Camaraderie is particularly important and isolation is particularly deadly in Europe and the Middle East. In many of our countries, the percentage of Evangelical Christians is between .25% and 4%. Many of our young people have never been in a room with more than 5 or 10 Evangelical Christian young leaders. Events that bring them together are enormously inspirational and healing in a way that North American, Latin America, and African Christians cannot understand because the European and Middle Eastern cultures are so deeply secular and/or hostile to Christianity. Our team's desire is that this current generation of young leaders will be the first generation of the Church of God to not grow up in such crushing isolation. Rather, that they will live out their lives in ministry in community with each other and in partnership and unity. Three Worlds Leadership Network is helping to make that goal tangible.

Faith-Based not-for-profit organization

Fighting Sex Trafficking: Pink Door Berlin

Valued. Restored. Empowered.

Pink Door is a not-for-profit organization that provides a long-term recovery and integration
program for women (and their children) exiting prostitution or fleeing forced sexual exploitation.

Services Offered

Pink Door’s long-term recovery program consists of three main areas: residential services, individualized
recovery and life skills courses, and psychosocial consultation. Participants live in the Pink Door residence
and participate in the internal integration program.

The course offerings * are oriented to the individual needs of the participants and can be combined with an
apprenticeship, job or further education. A social worker accompanies them through psychosocial counseling
which supports the individual needs and wishes of the participant.

* for example: finances, dealing with fears, communication, job-readiness, art and music therapy, fitness, etc.

Who is Pink Door for?

Pink Door supports any woman (and her children) needing assistance in her exit from prostitution / forced
sexual exploitation. Neither a current place of residence nor the ability to immediately finance herself are
criteria for admission into our program.

We offer the following services:

Emotional stabilization
(Re-)discovery of gifts, talents and abilities
Language acquisition
Apartment search
Orientation towards further education or job search
Stabilization of physical health
Referral to professionals in the community (health professionals, debt counselors, therapists,
educational institutions, etc.)

University Intensives

Immersion Trips

Urban Ministry

In partnership with Warner Pacific College, Anderson School of Theology (S.O.T.) and various churches, our team provides university intensives in Urban Ministry. Students will explore the process of urbanization and urbanism and their impact on interpersonal social life. A major focus is on the effects of post-Christendom on ministry in the 21st century. We are pleased to report that Anderson S.O.T. also offers credit for participation in this immersion trip.
