About Impact Poland

Andrew is a passionate leader and visionary who has worked in ministry since 1997. He currently leads Evangelical Poland, which is a Polish national collaboration movement with the goal of growing the Polish Church by 500% by the year 2050.

Andrew is a Polish native who was born again in the United States in 1998. Because of this, he is uniquely suited to link Polish and American believers. Through this connection, he aims to strengthen and equip the Polish Church, and various Polish ministries.

In 2019, Andrew and his team planted Amazing Grace Church in Poznan, Poland. Andrew considers this one of God’s greatest miracles since he began leading Evangelical Poland.

Andrew is married to Anna, and they are blessed with three children: Piotr, Jagoda, and Maria.

Carol is an entrepreneur who has successfully started and grown numerous companies throughout her career. While building companies, she lived and worked in various countries. Her passion for Eastern Europe was ignited while living in Budapest, Hungary in the early 90s with her husband Daniel. They assisted local companies to adjust to the new company, so Carol understands the necessity of building things which the local community can sustain.

Carol and her husband have been married for 35 years, and during that time they have traveled to over 70 countries. They have been involved in multiple missions and projects. Of all the countries they’ve visited, Poland has a special place in Carol’s heart. She feels called to help evangelical churches grow and thrive throughout the nation.

When not building companies or working missions, they spend their time chasing their three children around the world, wherever God may lead them.

Dean has an Engineering degree from the United States Merchant Marine Academy with 50 years’ experience working and managing in a wide range of businesses. He has managed numerous groups and large projects for several Fortune 500 companies as well as managing operation for several smaller companies. In addition to his in-house corporate roles, Dean has supported businesses and non-profits through his consultancy with a focus on continuous process improvement and greater individual and organizational effectiveness. Dean most recently served for 5 years as an area Chair with C12, with a focus of helping others to “Build Great Businesses for a Greater Purpose.”

Dean and his wife, who is a professional artist, have been married for over 46 years, where they have actively supported each other in their careers, have been consistently involved in their local church, and have supported international missions, including making numerous short-term mission’s trips to eastern Europe, with a focus over the last number of years on Poland. After raising 3 children, who are all now married, they have the joy of spending time with them and their 10 grandchildren.

Dani is a US Army Veteran who served in the Military Police Corps until 2023. She has traveled to over 40 countries in her life, and knew from a young age that God was calling her to Eastern Europe. When the war in Ukraine began, her military career aligned with God’s call, and she spent the last two years focused on Eastern Europe and Poland.

Walking in obedience, Dani has since moved to Poznan and currently serves as the US Director of Communications for Impact Poland. She also works for a US-based technology firm protecting freedom of speech, and plans to attend law school in London. Her focus will be international criminal justice.

Dani hopes to find ways to continue serving God in Eastern Europe, as she carries on her work of protecting the rights and lives of His children.

Leslie is a creative and driving force who works on Impact Poland’s Communications Team. She has traveled to over 20 countries and lived in four. Her most recent country of residence was Poland, where she fell in love with the country, culture, and people.

Following God’s guidance, Leslie began working with Impact Poland in 2023. She has a degree in International Relations and a minor in Critical Media Literacy, which makes her uniquely qualified to connect Polish and American believers. She understands that the most important factor to cross-cultural communication is that we are all His children.

In 2021, Leslie married her best friend Eric. They currently live apart, due to their respective careers. They hope to live together soon, as they continue to serve and grow His kingdom.
