Daniel has accepted God’s call to Poland – bringing the Good News from the perspective of a hybrid! He is both an “insider” and an “outsider” – a Polish-American who knows the English and Polish languages fluently, and has a firm grasp of both cultures. He has a passion to share the love and truth of Jesus with his countrymen. By understanding the context and many nuances of the culture, Daniel longs to show them that it’s possible to be a born-again Christian and still be Polish!

Jim LaRose ministers to Polish foster children in the care of the government. There are many children in Poland who are being raised in environments where alcohol is the most commonly consumed liquid. These cold, uncaring and hopeless environments eventually cause these young people to be disconnected from everything - even life itself. Others are raised in government foster homes by paid employees who do not care about the children at all.

As a result of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, poverty, and a host of other factors, many children in South Africa are born unwanted by their parents. Many times, parents who don’t want the “burden” of raising children simply dispose of their offspring in any way that is convenient. A better solution is allowing someone who loves the Lord and children to raise these unwanted ones as their own. Gerhard and Elmane le Roux are Christian parents who provide such a solution.
