The ESE measures the amount of “Gospel Responsiveness” per 1000 people in the geographic regions of Europe.  Specifically, this measurement considers those who would begin to follow Jesus Christ and join a fellowship of others who follow Jesus after receiving a relevant presentation of the Gospel.

The results are gathered from responses to the forth question on the ESE survey:

     If you were to give a clear, one-on-one, relevant presentation of the gospel to 1000
     random people who do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ in this geography, how
     many of these people would you estimate would profess faith in Jesus Christ AND join a
     fellowship of believers?  Please use only whole numbers.


The table below lists the estimates from the ESE for each multi-national region in this study.  Please consult the final report for a thorough explanation of these regions.  The right column compares each region's value to the European average.  A table for the nations of Europe can be found in the final report.



The answers for this question are then mapped (based on responses to the first question where respondents indicate the geography in which they are completing the survey) as percentage of the population of each territory that would be considered Responsive to the Gospel.  These results are shown on maps of Europe on the following three pages: 1) a map of the NUTS regions of Europe, 2) a map of the nations of Europe, and 3) a map of multinational European regions.

Territories with no coloration are NUTS regions were there were not multiple responses for this result.  These singular responses were still incorporated into the National and Multi-National results.

The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) is defined and developed by the European Union according to a number of basic principles (see the official Eurostat website for complete details of these principles: http://europa.eu.int/comm/eurostat/ramon/nuts/basicnuts_regions_en.html).  Throughout this report, NUTS level 1 regions are used with the exception of Romania (where level 2 is used).  Nations without E.U. defined NUTS regions are subdivided into territorial units using similar principles.  The ESE report refers to all of these sub-national areas as NUTS regions.
