Luke and Kyla in Europe

Did you know that seven of the top ten most agnostic countries in the world are in Europe? This might come as a surprise to many. The term "agnostic" describes those who are irreligious, atheistic, or non-spiritual. While Europe isn't considered completely unreached—meaning there is access to the gospel—there are regions where it remains closed to the message of Christ and to any belief in the divine. This poses significant challenges for sharing the Good News of Jesus, especially among those who are not actively seeking spiritual guidance. At All Shores, we have a history of partnering with individuals and teams to reach difficult places—those that are both hard to live in and hard to reach. While Europe offers stability and development, it can still be incredibly difficult to reach people with the Gospel. This is why the ongoing ministry of Luke, Kyla, and their family is so inspiring. After serving two years on staff at All Shores, Luke and Kyla responded to God's call to a European country that ranks sixth or seventh among the most irreligious nations globally. Together with their three boys and a dedicated team, they've established meaningful relationships, helped serve a community ministry center, responded to Ukrainian refugees, and are actively engaging with youth—who are among the most open in their culture to exploring spiritual matters. Luke also co-leads a team of digital evangelists who harness social media to connect people with believers—part of the growing and impactful Media 2 Movement (learn more at https://mediatomovements.com). Over the years, they've seen lives transformed—youth coming to Christ and adults becoming disciples and leaders within their community. Most recently, they hosted an English camp with 47 campers, many of whom heard the Gospel for the first time. Their children's presence in local schools offers a unique opportunity to build relationships and share the love of Christ in everyday life.
