Guest Speaker - Cleres Pacheco
Written by Sonya Kayson on Jul 22nd 2022
Cleres and Jane are Brazilian born but have been serving as missionaries to Poland for over two decades. Now with son Niko, they serve in the Rock Church in the beautiful Polish city of Wroclaw.
More recently the church has been serving many Ukrainian’s coming over the border fleeing the war- Cleres running a youth club for Ukrainian teenagers. They have also just finished running a youth festival just outside of the city that gathers several thousand teenagers every year- when I (James) visited the Rock Church several years ago it felt like every-other-story was “I became a Christian on the back of meeting Christians at the SLOT Festival”. We are thrilled and honoured to have Cleres, Jane and Niko with us as a church for the weekend.
