The MOVE Initiative

The MOVE Initiative is Wheaton Bible Church’s commitment to love and serve immigrants in Europe. These immigrants are deeply loved by God, who created their rich and beautiful cultures. Yet many are isolated in European cultures, struggling with poverty and searching for identity and hope. 

Get Involved in MOVE!

• Join the Explore Group
  This group is for individuals considering the possibility of moving to Europe to reach out to immigrants. The group usually gathers twice monthly for fellowship, mentoring, prayer, and study. Members also participate in a 10-day to two-week cross-cultural ministry experience.
• Join the Sending Team
  This team prays for and supports those who go - providing care, logistical and strategic support. They also help educate WBCers about The MOVE Initiative.
• Participate in a GO Team
  We periodically send short term teams to Europe to take advantage opportunities to encounter the needs of immigrants and to engage in service first hand, considering how God may be leading us to become more involved. Click here for more information.
