You want to multiply
but need a clear path
Many churches have a heart for global mission and multiplication, but don’t have a sustainable model.
You want to raise up leaders. You want to plant churches. But you're already stretched — and don’t have the time, know-how, or means to do it alone.
So churches stay in maintenance mode. Mission stalls. And Europe keeps slipping further into post-Christian decline.
You don’t need more pressure.
You need a partner.
Grow stronger together
At Aquila Initiative, we partner with like-minded churches to multiply leaders in order to see the gospel spread across Europe.
We don’t ask you to fund a program — we invite you to invest in a movement of local apprenticeship and church planting led by European churches, supported by global partners.
We provide the training, facilitate collaboration, and relational accountability to help leaders grow — not just in theology, but in character and competency. We’re not a program, we’re fellow pastors — walking with you as you equip the next generation.
How partnering works
You bring the vision. We walk with you
to make it actionable.
Start a Conversation – Let’s talk about your church’s needs and goals
Identify and train an apprentice - We’ll help you prepare and begin to apprentice a potential leader in your church.
Train and Multiply – Use our tools, team, and support to grow disciples who become leaders
You don’t have to do this alone.
Why it matters
Without intentional leadership development, churches become stagnant and rely on external help.
When local churches are equipped to raise their own leaders, everything changes — disciples multiply, communities grow, and the gospel takes root where it once seemed impossible.
This isn’t charity. It’s partnership.
Your church can play a key role in seeing Europe transformed from the inside out.
What it looks like
A story from a partner
“We always wanted to invest in Europe, but didn’t have the relationships or framework. Aquila helped us directly support an apprentice who is now leading in his local church and preparing to plant. It’s the kind of long-term mission investment we’ve always prayed for.”
- Jason Snyder, Prestonwood Baptist church, USA
“We wanted to raise up leaders, but only thing we knew was to send them off to seminary. Aquila Initiative helped us build an apprenticeship model that fits our church and then walked with us to mentor them. Today, two of our members are being apprenticed, one of whom is getting ready to finish as we are preparing to plant a church on the east side of Hamburg. We didn’t have to send anyone away or reinvent the wheel — just commit to the process of mentoring our own potential leaders. Aquila has been with us every step.”
