Welcome!

Hi everyone! This is the official blog for the short term ministry team Highland Park Baptist Church is sending to Poland this June! We hope to use this blog to communicate with you before, throughout, and after the trip. We thank you for your support and hope you enjoy reading!

Our team consists of eight members: Phil Danielson (team leader), his wife Elaine, and their daughter Emma; Heather Berdan and her daughter Rachel Haney; Sue Brown; Derrick Jackson; and Stephanie Wiltse. We will be traveling to Jugowice, Poland this summer, leaving on June 26 and returning July 5. We will be running a camp environment for missionary kids (MKs) while their parents are at the annual SEND conference. We will be also leading worship for the adults and MKs.

So far we have had three training sessions to acquaint ourselves with the nature of our trip and the specificity of our purpose. We are extremely eager to see how God will use us on this trip and are excited for you to join us on the journey! God bless!
