✨ Moments ✨
One of the highlights of our gathering at was hearing from Javier Garcia. With wisdom and clarity, he reminded us that “Jesus saw people, not for what they were, but for what they could be.” 🙌

Javier challenged us to open our eyes to God’s perspective, to see beyond weaknesses, failures, or limitations, and instead recognize the incredible potential God has placed in every person. 💡

🙏 Alongside this, we were reminded to follow the Father’s will and look up with faith. His message deeply encouraged us to live with renewed enthusiasm and hope as we step out in mission across Europe. 🌍

Berlin25 at Together for Europe was a time of unity, encouragement, and vision — and we leave with hearts full of faith and eyes fixed on what God can do!

✨ Meet the heart behind Agape+…

We’re thrilled to introduce Lidia García, one of our speakers at Berlin25!

For the past 12 years, Lidia has served with Agape Spain, passionately living out the Gospel through Agape+, a ministry dedicated to walking alongside the most vulnerable in our cities. 💛🏙️

Since co-creating Agape+ in 2014, Lidia has not only been present in the lives of those most in need, but she’s also been equipping others — churches, schools, companies — to understand, embody, and practice Biblical justice. ⚖️🕊️

With a background as a high school teacher and an MA in Advanced English Studies, Lidia brings both depth and compassion to everything she does. She serves alongside her husband Benji (also staff with Agape+) while raising their two little ones. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

At Berlin25, Lidia will help us explore what it means to live out justice and compassion in our cities — and how each of us is called to bring hope to the margins.

🌍 Come ready to be inspired, equipped, and challenged.

Who we are

Agape Europe, an umbrella organisation of 22 national ministries, is the Western European ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ International, a non-profit organisation that brings spiritual hope and help to millions of people around the world.

"Agape" is the Greek word used in the Bible for God's unconditional love.

Agape Europe works to make Jesus known so lives are changed and Europe is transformed. No matter where we are, Jesus remains at the centre of our lives. We know that without His love, life loses its meaning. But with Him, all things are possible. Through personal interactions, events, humanitarian aid projects, sport, music, the arts or online – we desire to help people know Jesus.

OUR MISSION IS SUMMARISED IN THREE WORDS
