Poland has a rich Christian heritage, but like many parts of Europe, the country has experienced increasing secularization and declining participation in traditional church life. Many people have cultural familiarity with Christianity but little personal relationship with Jesus. Churches and ministries across Poland are seeking creative ways to engage families and introduce people to the gospel. Through relationships, hospitality, and personal conversations, God is opening doors for ministry.

The population of Poland is around 38,007,000 people, and the primary language spoken is Polish. The primary religion is Roman Catholicism with about 82% of the population reported as professing Catholics, and of the 24 people groups there are 4 that are unreached.

Serve at Family English Camp in Poland as we share God’s love and the gospel through relationships. Team members will help lead Bible studies, teach English classes, share testimonies, and participate in games, sports, crafts, and activities.
