Country facts
In January 2023, CLC Poland had a new website. It is proving to be efficient, with a significant growth in web sales.
Eva, the National Director, attended several conferences with book tables during the year. She also went to children’s summer camps, taking Bibles, books and gift articles. Children buy a lot - including books! For comparison, the sales are higher during a week long camp than during the same time in the bookstore.
At the Katowice Book Fair in November, CLC was one of four religious publishers among the 250 stands, attracting 60,000 visitors. While at the fair, a young boy was looking with interest at a Children’s Bible, published by CLC, which was on display. His mother, who was at the next stand, did not encourage her son to look at the book, and they moved quickly away into the crowd. Eva had a sudden desire to give the Bible to the boy as a gift; she managed to find him, and the child was delighted to receive it.
December is always a busy time, but was harder for Eva as her coworker was not able to help in the bookshop that month. She was grateful for prayer for special strength over that period.
