Impact Greece
Impact Greece is a mission outreach event developed in partnership with PEM and the Pentecostal European Fellowship (PEF). Together with local churches and ministries in Greece, we want to share the gospel, serve communities, and build meaningful relationships that reflect the love of Christ in practical ways. Our desire is to stand alongside the local church and encourage what God is already doing in the nation.
Teams from across Europe and beyond come to learn, grow, and step into missions together. Through prayer, worship, training and outreach, participants experience what it means to live and preach the gospel in a cross-cultural context. Impact Greece is not just an event, it is an invitation to grow in your faith, step into your calling as a Christ follower, and join in on God’s story unfolding in Greece.
YOU HAVE QUESTIONS? WE HAVE ANSWERS.
Where should I stay during training?
Unfortunately on behalf of Impact, we are unable to provide accommodation during the training (2-4 July). We recommend you to check out the nearby hotels, hostels and airbnb’s to find the best option for you/your team, and to book it in advance as soon as you’ve received the confirmation email for your registration.
The address of the training location is found in your confirmation email.
How do I get there?
The airport nearest to the training base is the Thessaloniki Airport (SKG). We recommend you to check out websites like Google Flights to find the best fares available.
After your registration is complete, you will receive an email that entails more detailed information about the training base, schedule and accommodation.
After the training, you and your team will travel together to your outreach destination using a vehicle arranged and reserved in advance. Your team leader will handle all travel details and coordinate transportation during the outreach in collaboration with the assigned local leader or church.
What does outreach look like?
The outreach will begin right after the training and will last for seven days, during which all teams will be serving in the local churches and supporting their ministry. Teams and team leaders will collaboratively plan the outreach in advance with the local pastor or church leadership. Outreach activities typically include serving at children’s or youth camps, doing street evangelism, supporting church planting efforts, participating in and organizing youth meetings and church services, and joining together in prayer and worship. Our desire is to promote collaboration and mutual support between the teams and local participants in the shared mission of advancing God’s Kingdom
What does the training look like?
The training includes inspiring preaching, worship, international fellowship, intercession over Greece and each other, as well as hands-on teaching and workshops on topics such as evangelism, healing and discipleship.
What workshops are offered this year?

When should I arrive and leave?
You should arrive for registration on the 2nd of July. Registration will open in the afternoon.
Departing will take place from Thessaloniki where all teams gather for a Harvest Celebration on the 12th of July. Exact details and schedule will be announced later.
Which documents will I need?
Every attendee is responsible for having a valid passport or national identity card and travel insurance. You are also obligated to acquire a visa if needed. If you are underaged, we will need a signed document from your guardians permitting you to join.
Where will I go to outreach?
The outreach destination will be agreed on well before Impact starts. We will connect you and your team with a local church in Greece, all wishes and requests will be taken into account. If you already have a contact with a Greek church (e.g. through a missionary of your home church) with whom you wish to cooperate, please let us know.
