Sleeping Bags for the Homeless in Poland
May 2021
Less than one in 5,000 of Poland’s inhabitants knows Jesus, making this country one of the least reached in the world. Recently, Vance began approaching outdoor gear companies to request display or lightly used survival gear at a discount so he could distribute it to the homeless living in his city. The company Marmot responded by sending him 32 sub-zero sleeping bags for free! Vance and his teammates gave away all of the sleeping bags and had several encouraging conversations with the recipients. Pray that these interactions bring fruit. Pray that those in Poland without a home will find their forever home in Jesus. Want to help provide for the homeless in Poland? Learn more and give here!
