The EBF's church planting project is known as IMP. Lead by Daniel Trusiewicz, the project facilitates the planting of new Baptist churches in Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia.
IMP provides funding for church planters in their own countries. Indigenous church planters are seen as more effective. They know their people, culture and language.
Daniel organises the project in cooperation with member Baptist Unions with support provided for 5 years. Following a start-up phase of two-and-a-half years, the outside support is reduced by 25% annually. Support of one church planter is in the range of € 3 000 to € 7 000 (euros) depending on the country.
