We are very grateful to be able to share what has been a very special time in this training for young evangelists. On this occasion, we worked through the Module: The Evangelist and the Call, together with our teachers Dardagan (Macedonia) and Javier (Spain), who helped us deepen our understanding of what the Gospel truly is, the centrality of the cross, and what it means to be called as an evangelist. It has been a time where we not only received teaching, but were also deeply encouraged through their lives, their hearts, and every conversation we were able to share with them. We are truly thankful to God for their availability and for all they poured into us. We also want to thank God for the hospitality, generosity, and love we experienced throughout this retreat. It was a real blessing for everyone involved. We give thanks to God for our brothers and sisters in Georgia, and for what He is doing in this nation. We pray that He continues to move and strengthen His work there. This trainings had very important impact on me and also on our church. we could have unity together for 3 days. it reminds us as a church that its not 1 man job to do everything but we as a community build each other and do the work of god together. we were very encouraged because of this trainings to meet our beloved teachers and be able to share love for each other so we can show the world father god is with us.” (David) |

Our recent training module focussed on ’The Evangelist and Communication’. With new participants starting Philippus Netzwerk, and with two graduating, this was a very encouraging weekend of working through the ‘how to’ of putting together an evangelistic message and how to execute the same. The time included each participant preaching evangelistically for 5 minutes in front of their peers for immediate evaluation - a very helpful time! Please pray that there will be fruit from this weekend and fruit that will last. To the glory of His Name |
Armenia- March 2026
“At the beginning of the year, we prayed for a year of evangelism. When we heard about this training, it felt like a clear answer to our prayer. It was exactly what we needed at just the right time to equip us to go out and start sharing our faith.” (Participant) |
The recent training event was a truly encouraging experience for everyone involved, with around 60 participants from 5 different churches. Many of them came as teams, eager to start open-air evangelism in their cities. The teaching sessions, along with the practical exercises, provided the clarity, confidence, and direction. One of the most impactful moments was seeing the growing boldness and unity among the groups, as they became more excited and committed to sharing the Gospel in their communities. We are deeply grateful for the teachers, whose dedication and excellent service throughout the training were a true blessing. Their teaching and personal example have left a lasting impact on all those who attended. This was truly a blessed and impactful time, and we believe it will continue to bear fruit in the lives of the participants and in the communities they will reach. |
United Kingdom- March 2026

With participants from England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland, during our most recent training we explored ’The Call of the Evangelist’. It was an excellent weekend thinking through how we are ‘wired’ as evangelists, and what it means to be set apart by God for this task. Despite some cold weather, we also took to the streets for an hour on the Saturday afternoon, noting 21 specific Gospel conversations as we preached, shared testimony, and declared the Good News to all who ‘happened’ to be passing by. It was also wonderful to witness the graduation of 3 of our participants! |
Spain- March 2026
|
What a joy to share what God has done in our recent training for young evangelists in Spain, focused on our third Module: The Evangelist and Communication! During this time, we covered key topics such as how to prepare and deliver an evangelistic message, speaking to different audiences, identifying possible communication mistakes, and how to call people to a response. We had the honour of welcoming Andrés Pérez, pastor of La Parroquia in Valencia, with extensive experience in pastoral and evangelistic ministry within his local church and across Spain. He shared his experience and passion for communicating the gospel in a faithful and relevant way. We are deeply grateful for his life and pray that God continues to use him powerfully, as He has until now, in bringing the message of Jesus to both those who already know Him and those who do not yet. We welcome the new students who have joined us, and celebrate that Astrid, Naudeling and Andrés have completed their training and graduated. May God continue to use their lives powerfully! We are already excited about the next gathering, trusting in all that He will continue to do. |
Balkans- November 2025
|
By God’s grace we were able to hold another training for young evangelists in the Balkans—this time in Istanbul, Turkey! We are truly grateful to God because it was a very special gathering. We covered Module 4: The Evangelist and the Local Church, and with it we were able to celebrate our first group of graduates. We give thanks to Klemen Vidic for sacrificing his time, visiting us, and helping us teach this module. Without a doubt, it was a memorable encounter, with evangelists who are passionate about the gospel and about reaching those who do not yet know Jesus in their own countries. It is truly powerful to see how, over these past two years, God has been at work—using people from different nations and uniting brothers and sisters who, although they come from diverse contexts, languages, and circumstances, share the same root: Jesus. We are expectant for what God will continue to do, and we pray that the Lord will keep using these evangelists—that they may be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit to proclaim the good news of Jesus and to build up the church. We pray to see the Balkans at the feet of Jesus! |
Germany- October 2025

The latest Philippus Netzwerk training took place in Bonn in early November. We had several new participants starting, which was encouraging, and two graduating. It was especially notable that one of those graduating, started their training with Red Timoteo in Spain, and now concluded their training in Germany! This was wonderful to see and is part of the vision for the EYE Network… being able to complete modules in different countries. The group also went out into central Bonn on the Saturday afternoon, preaching the Gospel, both in open air proclamation, and also one-on-one. It certainly is both invigorating and a sharpening experience when a group of evangelists ‘hit’ the streets together. We had so many Gospel conversations in the hour or so that we were out. Many people were ready to listen and engage in conversation. It was a reminder that we must “Go”… who else is going to tell precious souls about Jesus, if not His church? |
United Kingdom- October 2025

We praise God as this October we hosted 15 emerging evangelists, including some from Northern Ireland, to explore their role as Evangelists in the Church. After being grounded in God's word and some highly applicable teaching from Peter Kennelly and Ibrahim Shore, who are themselves, evangelists who are rooted in the church, we went to the streets of Northampton and had many fantastic conversations with local people, praying with some and passing out Gospels of John along the way. On the last day we saw two graduates off in prayer and trust God for what He will lead them to. |
Armenia- October 2025
|
With great joy, we share that the training for young evangelists in Armenia has taken another wonderful step forward. In this session, we had the privilege of exploring Module 2: The Evangelist and the Context — a powerful time of reflection, learning, and spiritual growth. We were blessed to count on the participation of Shahen and Pastor Arman, who shared with great passion and wisdom about how the Gospel speaks into our different realities and cultures. It was a deeply spiritual training, where we could clearly sense the presence of the Holy Spirit moving among us — refreshing hearts, inspiring vision, and renewing our calling. We want to express our heartfelt thanks to the entire team for their dedication and servant hearts, and to the worship group for their humble yet powerful ministry, which helped create such a beautiful atmosphere of praise and unity. We thank God for what He is doing in Armenia — raising and equipping evangelists who love His presence and are ready to carry His message with boldness, compassion, and grace. |
France - October 2025
|
We are joyful to share that the training for young French-speaking evangelists has officially begun! This first session took place in Paris, where we started with Module 1: The Evangelist and the Calling. We had the privilege of welcoming evangelists Dardagan Sina (from Macedonia) and Peter Kennelly (from the United Kingdom), who inspired everyone with their experience, passion, and vision. Together, we explored what it means to be called by God to share the Gospel and how to live out that calling with faithfulness and purpose. It was a time of teaching, fellowship, and spiritual encouragement. We were blessed to have participants from France and Belgium, all eager to grow and be equipped for evangelistic ministry. We thank God for this beautiful beginning and for all that He is doing among young French-speaking evangelists. We are expectant to see how He will continue to equip and use each one for His glory! |
Spain- September/October 2025
|
We are pleased to announce that, thanks to God, we were able to carry out our training for young evangelists in Spain, covering Module 2: The Evangelist and the Context. It was a challenging and inspiring training, and we came away with renewed strength to fulfill our mission. We had the privilege of having Miguel Palomo, professor of Philosophy at the Complutense University of Madrid, who helped us better understand the times we are living in, the questions of our society, and how to present the gospel to our generation in an effective, powerful way that remains faithful to the message of the Good News of Jesus, without compromising or altering its content. In addition, we were joined by Karen Lithgow, who works with refugees and the Sahrawi people. Through her experience, we were able to gain deeper insight into the Muslim context and learn how to build bridges towards this people whom Jesus loves and seeks. We celebrate that new people have graduated, and we welcome the new students who have begun their training. We desire that God will continue to use each of these lives powerfully. We are already praying for the next gathering, encouraged by what God is doing and excited for all that He will do. |
Germany - May 2025
|
We had an excellent weekend at the end of May as participants gathered from different regions of Germany, plus two coming from Switzerland. We explored ’The Call of the Evangelist' and it was very encouraging to see participants grappling with this most important of subjects… knowing the call of God to herald this Good News to a lost and dying world, and to equip the Body of Christ to hold out this precious Gospel day by day. With some practical time sharing the Gospel outside a Metro station, in a marketplace, a park, and even on the Metro(!), we left the weekend with a sense of having met with the Lord and having grown in our walk with Him. Many thanks to the Philippus Netzwerk team…for the privilege of learning and growing in evangelism…There are many things I can implement and reflect on. |
Balkans - April 2025
This is my second participation in Macedonia Balkans and it is an honour for me. I am delighted to have participated in the group. I feel proud, I have had the opportunity to meet people with whom we have been able to share our problems and pray together for them, praise, learn and I see that God is still speaking. Thank you to the organisation and for me it has been an honour and a blessing. Thank you |
By God’s grace, we were able to enjoy a very special time together working through Module 3: The Evangelist and Communication. It was a true privilege to have evangelists joining us from Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Slovenia, and Turkey. Different countries, languages, and contexts — yet all united in proclaiming the same message and serving the same Lord: Jesus. It was a weekend full of encouragement and renewal to keep sharing the Good News wherever God has placed us. The training was rich with meaningful experiences. Participants prepared and delivered their evangelistic messages, and we also had a special outreach trip to Veles, where we shared the Gospel publicly. We sang praises, shared testimonies and conversations, and called people to repentance. With great joy, we can say that several people accepted Jesus as their Savior that day. Truly, there was rejoicing in heaven! We were also honored to welcome Kelvin Stribblehill, International Director of The Charge Evangelistic Mission, as our guest teacher. His ministry works across the globe, equipping believers to reach others through campaigns, crusades, training events, and church planting initiatives. We thank God for his effort and for sharing his passion for the Gospel and his heart for the lost. We pray the Lord continues to use him powerfully in the mission. We are very grateful for this new opportunity to gather, and we look forward with joy to our next training together. With love in Christ. |
Armenia - March 2025
We are privileged to announce that thank God that in March we were able to celebrate the launch of the training for young evangelists in Armenia. It was truly a powerful experience. About 50 evangelists and 7 churches represented were able to deepen together on the theme of ‘Evangelist and Calling’.
All together we were challenged to embrace God's call on our lives as evangelists, to live in intimate communion with him and to walk with integrity in his presence. We thank God not only for the teachings but for each of the conversations and moments that took place. Moments surrounded by the Holy Spirit that pushed us to be vulnerable, to share testimonies and to pray for one another.
We give special thanks to Arman, for his great help and who, thank God, has been a key piece in all of this. In addition, we were able to count on the presence of Javier García as a guest teacher, a member of the pastoral team of the Comunidad Cristiana Oleum in Alcalá de Guadaira, Seville. We are grateful to Javier not only for the teachings but also for every moment he shared with the Armenian evangelists, which were undoubtedly profound and special.
We prayed to God for the next meeting, we prayed with great expectation for what God will continue to do in Armenia, a country we came in love with and returned impressed by its love, hospitality, humility and spirituality. We were truly able to experience what we already knew, that God loves Armenia deeply.

This training really helped me better understand the nuances of evangelism. I also want to mention that this training not only increased my knowledge about evangelism, but also helped me grow closer to God and make decisions that will bring me even closer to Him. Now I’m burning with the desire to serve Him and proclaim His gospel. Thank you. God bless you.

Spain - March 2025
In March, by God’s grace, we were able to hold our evangelist training in Spain. It was a special time as we welcomed new students and celebrated the graduation of three individuals who completed the training. We thank God for their lives, for being part of the Red Timoteo family, and for the impact they’ve had on us. We continue to pray that God will use them powerfully as proclaimers of the Good News of Jesus, wherever He sends them.
During this training, we explored the theme “The Evangelist and the Calling” with our guest teacher, Samuel López—missionary with Avant Ministries, Executive Secretary of the Evangelical Council of Madrid, and a servant with deep experience in prison ministry. We thank God for his life, his testimony, and the way he encouraged us to embrace our calling as evangelists and boldly proclaim the transforming power of the Gospel that makes all things new in those who believe.
We’re already praying and looking ahead to our next gathering—encouraged by what God is doing and full of expectation for what He will do!

God has blessed me so much through Red Timoteo, and now I want to be a blessing to others. Learning from experienced speakers, receiving helpful materials, practicing and getting feedback, and connecting with others to share and grow together—it’s a very complete programme."’.

United Kingdom- March 2025"I can not tell you how inspired and encouraged I feel since the training a few weeks ago.” |
We had a very encouraging weekend in March as we explored together ’The Evangelist and Communication’. With some excellent input from guest speaker, Michael Ots, participants were further equipped in the evangelistic task, notably in the ‘how to’ of constructing, and delivering, an evangelistic message in a variety of contexts. We were also delighted to see 5 of our participants graduating (although sad to see them go!) and even more delighted to welcome 5 new participants! We look forward to the journey continuing.. It’s like God turned the light on [experiencing EEI]” |
Balkans- November 2024
“The first weekend was amazing. It was transformative for our church. When I spoke to the Deacons about coming to Module 2 they urged me to go and bring something back to them again! I am going home carrying something with me!” |
November 2024... and Module 2 of the recently launched Balkans Evangelists Network took place in North Macedonia. 26 young evangelists gathered from Bulgaria, Croatia, North Macedonia, Slovenia, and Turkey. With some great input from our guest speaker from Bosnia, Slavko Hadzic, we explored together ’The Evangelist and Context’… looking at how we engage Balkan culture with the relevancy of the Gospel today. It was a stirring weekend, which, we trust, raised the expectancy of all involved. God is able to do far more than we can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Please pray for these evangelists as they seek to be faithful to His call in these days |
