50th Anniversary
Nearly half a century ago a young visionary named Colin Tilsley started a missionary movement called Gospel Literature Outreach. His aim was to reach people all over the world with the gospel. This work grew and became established in Europe in the 1970s. The mission of GLO Europe is to train and mobilise Christians to bring hope to people all over Europe by sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. Thousands of people have gone on summer teams with GLO sharing this message and reaching the unreached. Hundreds have trained at Tilsley College (the training wing of GLO) and dozens of missionaries serve with GLO across Europe planting churches and mobilising Christians for evangelism. You can watch this video to see beginnings of the work.

GLO has many resident missionaries, many of whom work as part of a team and work both in pioneer church plant situations and alongside established churches. The main focus of each missionary is to reach out and share the good news of the Gospel as they integrate into the culture and society that they find themselves living in.
Some ‘missionaries’ work in a cross-cultural situation where they have left their home environment to work in the mission field. Others work in their own cultures as pioneer church planters or as pastors growing or revitalising churches.

"I believe the time has come for Christians all over Europe to stand up and be counted. We need to seize the opportunity to take the gospel to the many towns and cities of Europe and be persistent in our determination to communicate God’s truth in a culture that has lost its moral foundation and is spiritually confused. It will take courage and sacrifice, but it is precisely those qualities that mark true disciples of Jesus Christ."
