Graceland Ministries
Krakow, Poland
From its beginnings in Ciechanów twenty-two years ago to today’s vibrant ministry in Kraków, Graceland has morphed into far more than an English school. It is an active community of Christ-followers in a fledgling church plant, with more than 50 people in Bible studies and discipleship groups. Focusing on Bible characters, dynamic testimonies and Christian fiction, the English school continues to be an entryway into the community, engaging people in conversations of the soul. Short-term teams participate easily in all aspects of Graceland’s outreach. Graceland Ministries is field-directed by Jay Bowyer and Colette Ladan.
