The Lord is indeed doing great things in Europe and Central Asia. One of the most exciting is His invitation to be part of a church planting movement in Poland.

In recent years, Poland has experienced a significant spiritual decline. Church attendance has dropped while alternative, neo-pagan practices and individualized spirituality have been rapidly rising. People are seeking the truth but not finding it.

The reason that Poland was chosen as the location of the 2026 European Leaders Gathering is so that participants can catch a glimpse of the vision to reach the people of Poland with the truth of the gospel.

This June, we are planning to gather thirty leaders in Torun, Poland to answer this call. They will be coming from Germany, Austria, Lithuania, Portugal, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan to spend four days praying, worshipping, sharing, and encouraging one another in their church-planting ministries. 

But they need your help!

Most of these pastors and young leaders are bivocational. They cannot afford the expense required to attend the summit without help.

Your gift of just $1,000 will sponsor one leader, making it possible for them to participate in this important gathering, and yet any size of gift will help. This time of fellowship and collaboration will be invaluable for each attendee and we need their participation in the process of seeking God’s direction for planting churches in Poland.

The Mennonite Brethren have a rich history in Poland. But the fire has grown dim. We sense God’s desire to fan it to flame. The time is now!

“The Regional Summit will create a living network of churches and leaders that holds the potential and promise of future collaboration and expansion together,” explains Johann Matthies, Multiply’s Regional Team Leader for Europe and South Asia. “For centuries, the Mennonite Brethren lived and were persecuted in the territory that is Poland today. We are returning to Poland in response to a new call: to bring the Good News to the Polish people.” 

I hope you will partner with us to support the people hoping to attend the 2026 European Leaders Gathering. Your generosity will make it possible for a leader to attend and play an important role in reaching Poland with the Good News Jesus Christ.

Please send your gift today and join us in praying for God’s work in Poland.
