TeenStreet
OUR PURPOSE
The first TeenStreet Germany teen congress happened in 1993 and attracted just 56 people. Today, the congress attracts over three thousand teenagers, as well as leaders and volunteers from across Europe.
But the congress is just the beginning. TeenStreet 365 is our vision to invest in the lives of European young people all year round, empowering them to walk with Jesus each day and reach their full potential as people created by God!
...is to work with the church to motivate and equip Christian teens to have a real friendship with Jesus to reflect Him daily in their world.

Dr. Winter also introduced the idea of unreached people groups and started the magazine Mission Frontiers. One of the leaders interviewed is our own founder George Verwer, who met Dr. Winter over forty years ago.

Dr. Ralph Winter
Missiologist Ralph Winter passed away on Wednesday. Dr. Winter was known as an enterprising visionary who began the US Center for World Mission, a campus of sending agencies in Pasadena, California. The Center produces many valuable resources including Mission Frontiers magazine and the International Journal of Frontier Missions. Dr. Winter frequently contributed his insights to both publications, posing great questions for the mission community to answer with their actions. He also started the Perspectives course, an intensive training program that has mobilized many for missions worldwide.
Like OM founder George Verwer, Dr. Winter has always had a heart for mobilization. He often compared the cause of world evangelization to a burning building. Dr. Winter would ask, "which would you rather do -- pour a bucket of water on the fire, or wake up 100 sleeping firemen?" He knew how to wake up firemen. He knew how to mentor and challenge and motivate believers to become global disciple-makers. The kingdom is richer for his life, both here and in eternity.
