Poland

Mission
ECM has a churchplant in Rabka and contributes to the large-scale project 'Real Hope', a seven year project in which Polish churches and organizations are working together to distribute a copy of the Gospel to every Pole.

Vision
Poland is changing rapidly. Joining the European Union (EU) in 2004 hasn’t brought what the Polish people expected economically. The unemployment rate is high, so many Poles try to find prosperity in other countries.

The church doesn’t seem to provide what the Polish need, either. The formally dominant Roman Catholic church is losing influence and members, the number of active believers is decreasing rapidly.

ECM notices in this turbulent times a renewed interest in the Gospel. Through church planting and the project ‘Real Hope’, ECM wants to use this opportunity to draw attention to the Gospel in new and refreshing ways. ECM hopes that one day the Gospel, and solely the Gospel, will be the hope of Poland.
