H2O Grand Opening

Dear Friends,

I just returned from a very special celebration. When the 2X3 campaign started three years ago one of our key projects was a facility called H2O in Poland. God had miraculously opened the doors to buy a 15 acre conference center in southern Poland for use as an evangelism and training center, but the entire facility would have to be gutted and rebuilt.

H2O was a special place, located within an hour’s drive of almost 5 million people and having its own small lake, two pools, basketball court and soccer field. But with the crash of the stock market, giving to capital projects slowed way down, and we had to halt construction part way through.

The team revised the plan, continued to trust God in faith and prayer, and invested over 11,000 hours of volunteer labor in the facility. They kept believing God would provide and slowly, through the generous gifts of God’s people, the resources came in.

Now H2O is ready to go, with 60 of its eventual 120 beds fully functional and much of the general renovation completed. Though it has already hosted several summer camps, Sunday, September 11th H2O was officially opened!

My heart was filled with joy as I heard various members of the Poland team share stories of God’s faithfulness. What a joy it was to see the 250 guests enjoying the renovated facility and giving thanks to God.

But even more thrilling was the knowledge that this place will be used to reach thousands of Polish young people with the good news of salvation, and train a generation of disciplemakers to advance Christ’s kingdom.

Will you take a moment to thank God with us?

Thanks for the huge part you play in this vision through your giving and prayers!
