Some countries like Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Luxemburg, Malta, Cyprus and the islands of Corsica and Sicily do not have an Agape student movement or any Agape presence at all. There have been prayers and conversations, but now is the time to initiate and spark a fire on these campuses that will lead to a lasting spiritual movements. We, as European ministries, need to take radical steps of faith to help close the missional gap in Western Europe. Join the "Mission Possible" of Nordic and Mediterranean Euro STINT!
From the beginning we are looking at how we can launch movements in these locations and then give them the nurturing and care they need to continue. Each location will have a coach who is trained and knows how to lead from a distance. Also each area will have (or already has) a partnership with another European country which will help sustain launched movements.
Staff and students who are interested in applying for Nordic and Mediterranean STINT should apply through LDHR Agape office (Leadership Development and Human Resources) in their country of residence. Each LDHR office will be informed about application processes for this Euro STINT. Applications should be submitted, as far as possible, by March 1st.
This isn’t a typical STINT experience. The team will be experiencing some unique challenges due to multiple transitions over the course of the year which may cause stress. We are looking for people who:
The routes are still being defined but you should expect to move around to multiple locations. Nordic Euro STINT – Icleand, Norway, Denmark and Luxemburg. Mediterranean Euro STINT – Sicily, Malta, Cyprus, Corsica.
The STINT teams will attend a STINT briefing that will cover cross cultural training and team building. The STINT teams will also be trained in ministry skills that will equip them to launch movements.
This is a pretty adventurous STINT. As much help as possible will be provided to find places to stay, contacts in the churches and distance coaching, but STINT’ers will be completely on their own, learning and discovering the country and city where they will be staying.
Because the year will be unique and sometimes difficult we want to do our best to help you finish well. We will gather both teams back to one special location for some ministry alongside another team, debrief, some rest, sightseeing, and memories.
Agape, Europe leadership will attempt to raise special funds for Nordic and Mediterranean Euro STINT teams. STINT teams will need to raise funds for food and personal expenses. There is no promise that funds will be raised by AE leadership, but this is a priority on their fund development list.

Last Saturday morning, I woke up to the shouts and shrieks of children playing in the park below our apartment. Confused and a little annoyed, I shuffled sleepy-eyed to the window to see what the commotion was about.
Caradonna helped me put into words the process I was experiencing with God. Because we write a message on our bodies, it must be short and impactful. Caradonna helped me find words to convey my experience and encourage others through my message.
