John Godson moved from Nigeria to Poland in the 1990s to work among students. After the turn of the millennium, he became active in Polish politics and in 2010 he became the first person from African background to be elected to the Polish parliament. In the process, Godson earned the nickname "Poland's Obama". He became known as a fearless yet warmhearted politician. In 2015, New African Magazine placed John Godson on its list of the 100 most influential Africans in the world.
Godson has agreed that Tent can write and publish a book about him.
We estimate that it will cost approximately USD 12,000 to prepare the manuscript for the book. Translation and publication costs will come in addition. Initially, we plan to publish the book in English and Polish.
Total sponsor need in 2024 is USD 12,000.

Tent plays a central role in the Lausanne movement's tentmaking network. Mirka Pena, head of Tent Dominicana, and Steinar Opheim, head of Tent International, are two of three representatives in the network's leadership team.
Through the Lausanne network Tent can share the visions about tentmaking widely and work out strategies together with church and mission leaders around the world.
Our involvement in the Lausanne movement incurs high costs for Tent. Among other things, we are currently working on setting up a dedicated resource website for church and mission leaders.
Total sponsor need in 2024 is USD 15,000.
