Torun, Poland

Sergey Potapov and his family are missionaries in one of the towns in Poland. Population of Torun is 200000 people. It is a small but very beautiful and historical town. If its business card is pretty nice because of history and architecture, we can’t say the same about its spiritual life. Population is mostly catholic. People hardly know who are evangelic Christians and what is Gospel. Poland is a leader for the lowest number of Christians and stays at the same line with such countries as Sadden Arabia and other Muslim countries. There’s only one Baptist church of 50 people in Torun.

Potapov moved to Torun in August 2016. Before Poland Sergey was a missionary at Donbass but war actions made their family to move out.

At the same time the church in Torun was looking for a missionary to serve among Russian speakers. Thus, by God’s providence Sergey became that missionary.

Two years ago Sergey was enrolled into Warsaw Baptist Seminary to learn Polish language and be able to serve among polish people. Thank to that at present time Sergey helps to organize a new church in Bydgoszcz city which is two times bigger than Torun. Church team makes street evangelism and has discussions with local people about Gospel. Having learned Polish language, now Sergey can preach in Polish at church.

Sergey and his assistant Evgeniy, who repented in Torun, have a big wish to found a Polish church.

Potapov family lives by means of local church donations. Despite it doesn’t cover all the expenses they are grateful for what they have.

Sergey’s wife works but it is a low paid job. Sergey works as a gardener and this job takes a lot of time and efforts.

Please pray for these missionaries and upon your heart will and possibility, you can support them financially.
