Johannesburg, South Africa, and surrounding communities, are home to more than 7.35 million people. Johannesburg is a major industrial, commercial, and tourist center where almost 40% of the nations GDP is generated. More than 60 per cent of South Africa’s research and development takes place in Gauteng, the small county where Johannesburg is located. Gold minig is also a major industry in the region.

The nearby Vaal Dam helps support the population and industry. Gauteng has a greater proportion of its labor force in professional, technical, managerial and executive positions than any other province.

About 68% of the population is Christian in one form or another, however most churches are in 'white communities', and do not outreach to the lost in the city. The Polaco's have pioneered a church in a primarily black area and have seen many souls saved and many people transformed by the power of God. Many have been healed of sickness and affliction through the transforming power of Jesus Christ!
