Poland2022BrochureEDfinalVol.3

The reason we have stayed in Poland 23 years and
will for several more is the support of Polish Baptist
youth and adults. From the first visit, Henryk Podsiadly
drove me from Warsaw to Lodz to meet the Polish
Baptist Youth Leader, Leszek Wakula. Henryk
has always enable us to do any ministry we want and
we have also sponsored camps with his organization,
Chzecijanska Fundacja Radosc. They sponsor camps
for underprivileged youth at a cost of $10,000.00 per
camp. The reason for the cost is that the campground
must be rented, all the children’s way paid, plus cover
the cost of the Polish leaders at camp since they receive
no honorarium. Cost of bus and special activities
like skiing or swimming.
Leszek Wakula and his
wife Anna, came to America
and saw creative ministries
at Creations and returned to
Poland and began a camp at
the Baltic Sea for 150 participants
and the camp continued
for 18 years.
At the second camp
Aleksandra (Ola) Schmidt
Werner became a believer
and not only was leader at
Leszek’s camps but joined
our group at every venue
through the years. On July
24, 2016 she married Dawid
Werner (Sarge and I was
there). Now they minister
with Josiah Venture and
they minister in Gdansk.
Pawel Kugler has been the
most supportive of so many
activities that Destiny has
provided. He not only picks
us up at the airport, house
us in his apartment in the
church but provides a great
breakfast. You can see how
having free housing with
Pawel helps with the cost
since airfare to Poland is
pricey.
Pawel first got involved with Destiny in 2004 at
Barycz, a camp for orphans sponsored by Henryk.
Ken and Mike Parker where also at the camp with
an upward basketball team and began a relationship
with Pawel. Ken and Mike have continued their wok
with Pawel sponsoring a camp every year Ten years
ago Wes Fowler, First Baptist Church pastor went
to Poland and there he met Pawel Kugler. Wes saw
many ministries and sights which are circled on the
map. Wes led the church to support Ola for several
years as she ministered to the orphans at Marwica.
Also led the church to purchase not one van but another
to replace the stolen van for Pawel Kugler to use
transporting youth and orphans. And made a commitment
to have church groups go to Poland which
they did.
Leszek Czyzewki, Director of the Northern Poland
Children’s Administration,
was involved with Destiny
for 19 years. Leszek use to
provide housing and food at
Marwica for our groups until
it closed last year. Leszek
passed away in 2019. In 2017 a group from Murray
State BCM worked there and the last two years Ed
Johnson has done several years of construction and
will be again in 2022. For additional information or
