Bringing together the life changing Gospel message of faith, grace & hope to 55 mln Polish people around the world
A THOUSAND YEARS
Poland is located at the heart of the European continent, and with the population of about 38,5 mln is one of its largest countries. The history of Poland started over 1000 years ago when the Polish king in 966 made his land Christian. Polish people are proud of their long history, the Kings, arts, literature. Christian heritage is strong in Poland and many Poles still like to recall the old adage that Poland is the Bulwark of Christendom in Europe.
The adage refers to times of 250-year-old struggle between the forces of Christian Europe and the Islamic Ottoman Empire. In the most critical moment – the Battle of Vienna – when Europe was about to lose ground to the Ottomans, the King of Poland came with the relief forces to Vienna and changed the course of history. Without the Polish help, the European continent might have become a part of an Islamic empire.
After hundreds of years of history, Poland keeps its Christian heritage and finds itself under secular, atheistic and raising Islamic influences from Western Europe. Also, the Polish nation which suffered a lot from totalitarian, ungodly regimes – Nazi Germany and Communist Russia – is especially sensitive to the situation in Eastern Europe and remembering its history – the dark, overpowering communist and atheist regimes – wants to remind European countries that future can be built only on Christian values.
Spiritual landscape of Poland
However, the need to proclaim the Gospel has never been more urgent than nowadays. On one hand, as more and more people are becoming influenced by the Western secularisation, the Gospel message of God’s love, hope and grace needs to be proclaimed boldly and in a fresh way, through TV and other media. On the other hand, millions of Poles are in a desperate need of discovering Christian faith not only as a cultivation of a past tradition but a personal, living experience of the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
