Poland - Teen Camp

 June 2021  | Poland

Since 1990, shortly after the fall of Communism in the country, Proem Ministries has been working to help share a message that has long been forgotten. With less than 50,000 Evangelical Christians in the whole country, there are plenty of opportunities for ministry.

Proem has been effectively planting churches and running camps for years. The Crossing sends teams to work with Pastor Rafal and his team during their Fishart Teen Camp and the Kontakt Festival.

During the Fishart Teen Camp the campus transforms into a hub of activity and workshops. Art, graphics, music, dance, theatre…whatever skill or talent you have- BRING IT. The purpose of this week is to give the local teens a place to learn new skills or enhance ones they already possess and see the love of Christ in action.

Kontakt Festival is a week of service, community development and outreach. We will work with Proem to reach the communities by doing acts of service and hosting sports, art & crafts and worship events.

We want our team to reflect God’s love and give the city a positive interaction with Proem’s ministry. Evangelical Christianity is often seen as a “cult” in many parts of Poland where Catholicism is the primary religion and we want to help reverse that point of view.
