The Christ Life Europe Story

I’m Marci Julin, and I suppose God first began planting the seeds in my heart for Christ Life Europe when I was just eight-years old. Now, decades later, those seeds are ready to bloom. What began as a childhood burden to share the Gospel eventually became something far bigger than I could have imagined. From childhood, I felt a deep passion to reach people with the good news of Jesus Christ, and by thirteen I was traveling overseas on mission trips, beginning in Burgos, Spain and in future summers in Haiti, India, and Poland. That same love for missions was one of the things that drew my husband, Seth and me together in college, as we both believed God might one day lead us into missionary work. But after we married, my worsening health struggles seemed to close that door entirely. But then God completely healed me, and has used my testimony, writing, and teaching as the impetus for the formation of Heart & Mind Ministries.

​

Through the work of Heart & Mind, God unexpectedly began bringing people from across Europe to the ministry through the Path of Life study, as well as my teachings addressing New Age and energy-based spiritual practices. Through these relationships, Seth and I became aware of the unique challenges many Europeans face when coming to Christ — isolation from other believers, confusion from conflicting online teaching, difficulty finding biblical churches, and countless questions with few trusted places to turn for guidance. As these needs became clear, God stirred within us a calling to create Christ Life Europe, a ministry devoted to supporting and encouraging believers across Europe in their journey of faith while remaining under the leadership and support of Heart & Mind Ministries. May God be glorified in the fruition of the work He established!
