“Through the bydgoszcz church, we helped to support ten christian leaders in poland. Seven of these are pastors directly involved with planting churches in poland. One is the director of the bible school which we support, two also act as directors of church camps, and two evangelize through the performing arts. Our goal is to provide enough financial support so these people do not need to work full time outside of the church and are therefore able to spend a significant part of their time growing their churches and ministries.”

“Contribute funds to christian camps in poland in order to help grow the camps and provide scholarships to those unable to afford camp. Our mission now supports three church camps both financially and by sending volunteer teams to help with the church camps during the summer. These teams supply games, sport, and arts/crafts material and equipment, speakers for worship services, and leaders for organized activities. They also provide camp scholarships so those in need can attend camp.”

“Contribute funds and labor toward building and growing an evangelical bible school. This school is used primarily to train christian leaders and pastors who can then help grow existing churches or be used to plant new churches. At least six who have graduated from this school are pastors of their own churches. While learning to lead ministries the students are all involved with a variety of ministries including: youth, children's worship, orphanage, prison, and camp ministries to name a few. This school provides a three year curriculum and by completing a fourth year at an accredited college or university a student can achieve an undergraduate degree. In addition we provided some support for an existing bible school in southern poland.”

“As part of pem's efforts to grow the evangelical bible school, pem has an assist a student program to provide financial help to those who want to attend this school. We also help with special physical church or church program needs among the evangelical churches in poland. This year pem continued to raise money for the help center in nowogard. We also provided money to repair a barn roof damaged in a storm. The barn was used for christian meetings. Two pastors needed help to repair or replace cars. And new windows were needed for one of the mission stations. Through a matching gift fund, pem now supports samaritan mercy which is a ministry to help the homeless, orphans, prisoners and others in severe need. Pem also raised funds for an evangelical traveling tent ministry. Explanation of how scholarship recipients are selected: in january 2004 we began to award deserving students of the evangelical bible school in bydgoszca, poland with scholarships to help offset the cost of their eduction. Students are selected by a board of three people. This board includes the director of the school, an instructor and an administrator. Together they select students based on criteria which includes: financial need, academic proficiency and a strong desire to be involved with church ministry. Pem then matches scholarship donors to approved student recipients.”
