It has now been 11 years. At Evangelical Focus, we celebrated on 8 January that the Christian news and reflection platform for Europe is moving forward with a refreshed vision and prospects for growth.

The fact that we are still here is in itself a miracle in the extremely difficult context for journalism projects, which are struggling to survive, whether large or small, like ours.

It was on 8 January 2015 that the first homepage of what we would later abbreviate as EF was published online for the first time, after months of making contacts in Europe and preparing the website (with a design that we later revamped).

Europe is the space, culture, and ecosystem of churches in which we have invested our efforts from the beginning, seeing the need to start a digital news project with an evangelical Christian worldview and daily coverage where there was none.

It all began with the seal of approval of the Spanish Evangelical Alliance (with its Spanish model Protestante Digital) and a team embarking on an nearly impossible adventure. Over the years, it has been enormously encouraging to have not only the support of key people in movements such as the European Leadership Forum, the European Evangelical Alliance and the Lausanne Movement Europe, but also their real involvement in using Evangelical Focus to share their reflections and projects with all those who read this medium daily (or weekly, in our weekend digest).

This past year

In 2025, our website received a total of 568,000 visits (“sessions”, in technical language). Readers who visited us in Europe did so in large numbers from the United Kingdom, Norway, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and France.

But like everything published on the internet, Evangelical Focus has a global audience, and tens of thousands have also read our content from English-speaking countries such as the US and Australia, as well as other populous countries including China, India, Brazil, the Philippines and Mexico.

The most-read articles of Evangelical Focus can be found in our “Top 10” of 2025.

Looking back on our 10th anniversary year, as a team we are happy with the extensive coverage of the renewed interest in faith in Western Europe (with statistics, analysis, interviews, reviews). We are also delighted to have found wise voices with a solid Christian worldview who know how to address the enormous geopolitical uncertainty. Also to have followed little-known initiatives in Eastern Europe, and to have been an active participant in the growing wave of evangelical collaboration across our continent.

2026: sustaining growth

As we start 2026, we enter in a “consolidation and growth mode”, implementing concrete actions to: increase our presence in other formats (video, networks, audio), strengthen our core team, and renew our systems (prioritising the redesign of the entire website, which we are currently working on).

As Christians, we are very aware of how much both our personal lives and projects like this one depend on God's grace. We continue to want to see His hand in the details and trust that it is His provision that will enable Evangelical Focus to take new steps in the year 2026.

From the beginning, we have wanted to be transparent about our DNA. We believe in the Bible and in God's sovereignty in our historical moment. We understand journalism as intrinsically related to mission. We are a non-profit organisation and want to be generous with what we have received, so we will always be open to collaboration, seeing no project similar to ours as competition but as a resource provided by God.

Over the years, Evangelical Focus has become a reference point, regularly cited by others. 33,200 published articles and more than 520 guest authors suggest that the model was necessary and fulfils a role in our ecosystem.

But more than a decade later, Evangelical Focus is still driven by a passionate but small core team.

We have grown in resilience thanks to people who believe that a medium like this is necessary, and that if it did not exist, it would have to be invented. If you believe that approaching current events from a Christian lens in Europe is a real necessity for our churches, now is the time to join us.

A simple way to make Evangelical Focus sustainable is by becoming a Patron (10 euros per month) or by considering a one-off donation to Areópago Protestante (EF's legal umbrella). Many people supporting the work makes a real difference.

Thank you for thee 11 years of shared journey!
