History
The Pentecostal European Fellowship (PEF) was formed in 1987 during the Pentecostal European Conference (PEC) in Lisbon (Portugal) as a merge of European Pentecostal Fellowship and Pentecostal European Conference. In 2005, the PEF adopted a Constitution and received legal recognition in Belgium as an international non-profit association. In the same year PEF opened its head office in the Brussels area. Every year the PEF organizes a leaders’ conference for fellowship, a major city-wide IMPACT outreach and an annual Europe Prayer Sunday.
The significant growth and expansion of the charmismatic movement has further contributed to a number of national dialogues involving Pentecostal churches throughout Europe.
