Lithuania

United World Mission's non-resident team members began working in Lithuania in 2001. The initial approach was to "scout out the land". As a result of this fact-finding and networking, our UWM team was invited to give a Saturation Church Planting seminar in February 2003 (audio CDs of this event available). Multi-denominational participation in this envisioning weekend resulted in a few select leaders proclaiming, "The whole church taking the whole gospel to the whole of Lithuania". Our team's role is to help this dream become a reality. We are continuing to develop relationships and trust. At the same time, church planter training is happening in Kaunas and Birzai. The Kaunas church has a vision for saturating a 135 km geographic circle with living communities of believers. The Birzai congregation is seeking to expand from their town of 15,000 people into the surrounding county.

United World Mission is actively working to field additional personal into this country.
