WALKING TOGETHER
TO SHARE THE
DYNAMIC GOSPEL IN A NEW EUROPE
Europe is perhaps the greatest challenge
for Christian mission today
Lausanne Europe 20/21 seeks to address that challenge
Announcing new leadership for Lausanne Europe
With Jim Memory and Usha Reifsnider at the helm,
Lausanne Europe gets a dynamic leadership team,
as diverse as the continent itself.

Jim Memory
Lausanne Europe Regional Director
For the last 10 years, Jim has taught the postgraduate modules on European Mission at Redcliffe College and continues to do this now through All Nations Christian College (UK). He is one of the founding editors of Vista, a research-based journal on crucial issues for mission in Europe, and is the author of Europe 2021, a recent report on the context for mission in Europe today.
Jim and Christine have three adult children and they live between the UK and Spain.

Usha Reifsnider
Lausanne Europe Co-Regional Director
Her various roles in ministry include serving as a director with the Centre for Missionaries from the Majority World (CMMW), training churches and para-church agencies on mission to, through, from, and with diaspora people groups. Usha also teaches a module on philosophical frameworks and ethics at the postgraduate level at Waverley Abbey College.
Usha and Matt have two adult married children and two recently adopted teenage 'grandlads'.
