By His grace, we are honored to report that COJ Poland Mission 2022 was a success. On August 8, 2022, Pastor Jo and the COJ Mission Team took a flight to Poland to assist refugees from Russian-Ukrainian war and to share the gospel. Here’s a summary of the Poland Mission Trip 2022:

After a long flight, Pastor Jo and COJ Mission Team finally arrived at Wroclaw, Poland. The Team worked with Pastor Edward and Pastor Pavel from Belarus to bring donations to refugees, to host kids programs, and more!

On Day 1, the Team started to pack up for the food distribution for the refugee families. Afterward, the worship began.

Praise and worship were led by the Poland worship team and then… a special song! “I Speak Jesus” was sung by Erin, Brian, Bob on acoustic guitar, and Pastor Jo on piano. Thereafter, Pastor Jo preached the Word starting with Jeremiah 29:11 and Pastor Jo reminded “it is God’s plan to give us hope and a future… that is in Christ Yeshua!”

On Day 2, Pastor Jo and COJ Mission Team had a full day of children’s camp at Nations Church in Wroclaw. Despite the challenge of going through translation, the COJ Sunday School teachers shared the good news of Jesus Christ, led praise dances, played fun games, created arts & crafts, and more! It was an exhausting day but grateful to see kids smiling and spreading the Word.

After 4 hours of drive from Wroclaw, Pastor Jo and COJ Mission Team arrived at Pastor Mietek’s church in Wloclawek, Poland. Over Day 3 and Day 4, Pastor Jo and the team ran a children’s program with Pastor Meter’s team at his church and at a hotel that houses many Ukrainian refugee families.

Then the Lord’s Day came!

On Day 5, Pastor Jo and the team joined the service at Pastor Mietek's church. Pastor Jo preached the message which was translated into two different languages - Polish then into Ukrainian! Afterward, she and the team went to a Christian campsite where Pastor Jo once again delivered the Word - sharing the gospel: the salvation of our souls from sin, the price of sin, from the burning universe.

On Day 6, Pastor Jo and COJ Mission Team continued the children’s program at the Ukrainian camp - Bible study, worship dance, Bible memorization, and - distribution of COJ Yeshua t-shirts!

Day 7 was the last day at the Christian camp in Wloclawek and also the last day for the COJ Mission Team. It was clear that the Lord blessed the gathering and it was difficult to say goodbye to our new friends. With grateful and heavy heart, COJ Mission Team took the flight back to USA.

However, Pastor Jo and Bob continued to Nowa Sol, Poland. In Pastor Jurek’s church, Pastor Jo led a seminar for pastors and leaders. It was a great joy to reunite with former Logos Poland graduates! Afterwards, Pastor Jo and Bob returned safely.

Let us continue to pray for the new friends we met in Poland and their church.

Thank you, Yeshua, for guiding us through this new mission - Hallelujah!

Under the theme of “In the Name of Yeshua,” 2022 Annual Summer Retreat took place during July 10-12 in Canadensis, PA. Over the course of three days, Pastor Jo Kim delivered the Words of encouragement. The hall was packed to the fullest, as COJ members - new and old - gathered. Through Pastor Jo’s preaching, COJ members were once again reminded that the Name of Yeshua is the Name of Life, is Gracious, is Our Righteousness, of Power, and is the Glorious Name. Many hearts became open and souls came alive as the members were soaked in the presence of the King in the room and fed the Word of life in their souls. In 2022 Summer Retreat, 12 souls were baptized in the Name of Yeshua and many left recharged to serve the Glorious King Yeshua.
