Zagreb
Zagreb is a vibrant city embellished with stunning architecture, captivating museums, art galleries, beautiful green parks – it’s considered a top European destination. With a population of about 800,000 in the city and over 1.2 million in the metropolitan area, it is considered to be the largest city in Croatia. Locals are known to be open and relaxed, presenting great opportunities to start life changing conversations about Jesus!
Croatia is a predominantly Catholic nation, but many citizens consider themselves just culturally Catholic. In recent years, the Catholic Church has experienced a renewal, and it is not uncommon to find Catholic worship and prayer sets in the city. Protestants and evangelicals make up around 0,3% of the Croatian population, with most churches having under 30 members.
We are believing for a move of God to sweep over this city that is familiar with religion but not yet knowing the goodness of God. As we go to preach the Gospel, together we will see Jesus encounter and transform lives right before our eyes. We will see the Gospel preached in power- the sick will be healed, the captives will be set free, and the lost will meet their Savior!
The people of Zagreb are ready for an encounter with Jesus, which means they need to hear the full Gospel. Join our mission to make disciples in Croatia!
Daily Schedule
Each day we will go on the streets for a couple of hours to share the Gospel and see many life-changing encounters, pray for healing and love on people. We will have breaks where you can grab lunch and dinner and regular times to gather for worship, prayer and to hear the amazing testimonies of what God is doing on the streets.
We will send you more specific information on the city you choose after you applied.
All participants are responsible to cover all of their own costs (flights, accommodation, transportation, food etc.) We believe this will be a great investment into the Gospel being spread all over Europe.

Uber is an option in Zagreb, but it is not very reliable.
