For many years I’ve been told that Poland, my beloved country, is tough ground for the gospel. The cultural and religious context of our nation is incredibly complex.

How I Came To Faith – Henry’s Story
Written by Henry Taylor.
Throughout everything that I have experienced during the journey of my life, I’ve never been able to deny God’s existence and that he is the way, the truth and the life.
