Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ; that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.
(Philippians 2:16)

Tim and Ginny Good
Tim grew up in Eastern Pennsylvania and grew in his faith through a very active Word of Life Bible Club in his church. Challenged as a young man to give his life to serving youth, he prepared at Word of Life Bible Institute and completed his BA at Cedarville College. Upon completion, he served as a deacon and Word of Life Club leader. Ginny was raised in Argentina as a missionary kid. After attending Lancaster Bible College they were married in 1990. In 1991 the doors were open in Poland and God directed them to give their lives to the youth of Poland. Tim has been able to develop The Bible Club Ministry which is currently used all over the country. In 2005 Tim was appointed the director of Word of Life Poland and oversees every aspect including Clubs, Camps and Leadership training. The Goods have 4 children, Matthew, Elizabeth, Kristina & Anita, who are a big help in the ministry as well. Their heart’s desire is to give every Polish young person a chance to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and to have an active youth group where they can get grounded in the Living Word of God!

Michael Żaneta i Jeremiasz Trzcionkowscy
Michael and Zaneta were born and raised in the Slask area of Poland in a town called Rybnik. They knew each other well from their local church and in 2004 were married. In 2003 while at a Word of Life Winter Conference in Zakopane, they dedicated their lives to working with youth. They have worked, as Club leaders in their local church youth group in Rybnik until 2006, when they moved to Zgierz to help Word of Life on a full-time basis. They currently help in organizing camps, leaders meetings and youth meetings. They would like to help develop this ministry further in order to see more young people give 100% of their lives to the Lord.

I have been a missionary with Word of Life since October 2008. How did my life get to this point? I was born into a Catholic family in the town of Rybnik, in southern Poland. At the age of 18 I began to start questioning the traditional Catholic teaching about God. After a conversation with a friend at a Christian camp, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. Since that moment God has given me a desire to serve Him and to know His Word. After two years at the WOL Bible School in Hungary, I joined the WOL ministry in Poland. Now I disciple girls around Poland and help organize camps, conferences and Bible Clubs for Polish youth.
I want my life to bring glory to my God and Savior. Thank you for your prayers.
Asia
In October 2008 I became a missionary with Word of Life. I grew up in a Christian family where I was taught that reading the Bible and prayer are very important. I always wanted my life to be pleasing to the Lord and I want to be serving Him when He returns for His Church. In 2007 I finished a year of Bible School in Ukraine. I learned there that God’s desire for my life is that He has complete control of my life. The best way to show gratitude for what He has done for me is to simply serve Him. I decided to do exactly that for God. Now I am a part of the WOL Poland ministry serving through discipleship, Bible Clubs, youth camps and leadership training.
Titus 2:13
“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ”
Noemi
Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
I thank God for the gift of salvation that He has prepared for every believer. One day I understood that I am a sinner and I deserve to die for my sins. However, since I asked Christ to forgive my sins, He gave me new life and made my heart pure before God.
God also changed the purpose of my life and gave me new meaning. He showed me that the most wonderful way to live my life is being dedicated to Him. Now I want to serve Him with one hundred percent of my life and tell others about the great love of God. All this is because Jesus Christ is the only way, truth and life.
Seth Heydinger
I grew up in Michigan going to a church that taught that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. When I was six I realized that I was a sinner and my sin kept me from going to heaven. I trusted in what Jesus Christ did for me on the cross and now I know that I will be with Him one day.
I went to the Word of Life Bible Institute in New York after graduating from high school. There God taught me that there is a world that needs to hear about Him. I began to follow His plan by faith as He eventually led me to Poland. I am excited to be a part of the ministry here and it is my desire to make a difference in the lives of young people. My life goal is that “whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men.” (Colossians 3:23)

Mission Statement
The mission of WOL Poland is to evangelize and to disciple primarily the youth of Poland, through various means consistent with the Scriptures, for the building up and strengthening of the Church of Jesus Christ.
Statement of Faith
We believe... that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are verbally inspired of God, and they are without error in the original writings, and they are the supreme and final authority for faith and life.
We believe... in one God, creator and sustainer of the universe, Who is eternally existent in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe... in the Deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, His death to pay the penalty for our sins, His bodily resurrection, His exaltation at God's right hand, and His personal, imminent and pre-millennial return.
We believe... that all have sinned and are therefore guilty before God and are under His condemnation.
We believe... that all who by faith receive Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, therefore children of God and eternally saved, and that the Holy Spirit dwells within every believer to enlighten, guide, and enable the believer in life, testimony, and service. We believe that God answers the prayers of His people and meets their needs according to His purpose.
We believe... that God gives spiritual gifts to all believers for the building up of the body of Christ. However, some gifts of the Spirit, such as tongues and healings, were evidentially limited to the early church.
We believe... in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in Glory and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost in hell.
We believe... that all believers are called to a life of separation from all worldly and sinful practices and alliances.
