Biblica Europe
Once the seat of Christianity in the Western world, Europe now finds itself thoroughly postmodern and post-Christian. In Eastern Europe, many societies are still redefining themselves since the fall of communism, an era when Christianity was forbidden. In the wake of communism’s collapse, materialism and organized crime have emerged to fill the gap.
For Biblica Europe, the mission is clear: Reinsert God’s Word into European society in a way that engages people and changes their lives forever.

Christ's Love Embraces Orphans in Russia and Romania
The fall of the iron curtain hasn't brought hoped-for health, wealth, and happiness. Organized crime, prostitution, AIDS, drug addiction, family dissolution, and other social ills are ravaging parts of Eastern Europe. Children—neglected, abused, abandoned, and orphaned—are suffering the consequences. To minister to them, Biblica developed the My Monthly Bible Reader (MMBR) four-year curriculum. MMBR is a monthly interactive Scripture-based magazine/reader that teaches children about God's love using stories, games, activities, and real-life lessons in a colorful format. In this second year of the four-year program in Russia and Romania, Biblica will work with orphanages and Christian relief agencies to introduce orphans to Jesus through MMBR.
School Outreach, Eastern Europe
The Solid Rock of God's Word for Eastern Europe's Students
Western European influences such as post-Christian secularism, unrestrained consumerism, and organized crime have flooded Eastern Europe, tainting the minds and hearts of the younger generation. Yet this generation will someday lead government and society. Will they base their thoughts and actions on shifting sands or solid rock? Because many European nations require public schools to teach religion courses, Biblica-Europe has an excellent opportunity to reach and influence children and youth with the gospel. Biblica is partnering with New Generation, Russian Ministries, and other local partners to translate and distribute New Testaments in five languages for East European schools and day camps.

School Doors Open to God's Word in the U.K.
In Western Europe, atheism and agnosticism have displaced Christianity as the foundation for thought and action. Most mainline Christian denominations in the United Kingdom have seen steep declines in membership, and evangelical churches are basically in maintenance mode. Less than 10 percent of the population believes in Jesus Christ, and Christianity is marginalized in all sectors of society—media, education, government, law, social services. Coupled with the rise of Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and "alternative" religions like occultism and paganism, this has resulted in a generation of young people with little or no exposure to God's Word. Ironically, religious education is mandated in public schools for children ages 5-18. This gives Biblica, working with other organizations and ministries, an open door to distribute Bibles and Scripture resources to schools in Northern England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
