Nordic-Baltic Initiative
​
​The Nordic-Baltic Initiative is reaching a spiritually cold region where only 2–3% of people actively follow Christ. Through partnerships with local leaders, Converge is helping plant churches, serve immigrants, and support gospel movements in places like Sweden, Estonia, and Latvia. Even in the face of secularism and cultural challenges, God is bringing new life and hope across Northern Europe.

We believe that God has called us to bring the hope of the cross and the kingdom of God to our families, our neighbors, our community, our region, and to the world. We hope that our region will be impacted by our local efforts and our development of leaders who are equipped to go out. We also desire to reach the world through strategic partnerships and sacrificial giving of time and resources.
