Marriages drift apart quietly, often before anyone notices. Parents and children lose the ability to talk. Young adults search for identity without roots or community.
Churches see the need. But most lack tools that create lasting change.
That’s what JH Outback is for.
JH Outback is a catalyst for transformation in local communities. It’s a weekend retreat which helps couples, parents, teenagers and young adults encounter God together and rebuild trust, unity and love in the process.
Because God is at the center of every step, Outback works as both a powerful evangelistic tool and a vehicle for deep relational healing within families. And the transformation doesn’t stop when the weekend ends.
JH Outback started in the USA in 2000, rooted in the experience of JH Ranch. It came to Europe through Poland – and has been running there for 14 years, across three locations, with real families, every single year. That same model is now moving across the continent.

Each program addresses a different relationship – but all three share the same foundation: God at the center, real transformation as the goal.
A two-day Christ-centered experience that strengthens communication, rebuilds unity and helps couples rediscover one another.
A relational adventure where parents and children step away from distractions to reconnect, understand each other and rebuild trust.
A transformational weekend for students and young adults building their lives on biblical values – discovering identity, purpose and authentic community.
Most programs create a great weekend. Outback is built differently. The weekend is step one — what follows is months of follow-up, small groups and local leadership development. That’s how lasting change happens.
This is how Outback multiplies – not just touching families, but building communities that keep them supported long after they go home.
Experience it yourself.
Come to an Outback weekend in Poland. We cover the cost of your stay — no strings attached. The best way to understand what Outback does is to live it yourself before bringing it anywhere else.
Can't travel? We'll come to you.
If coming to Poland isn't possible right now, we can bring a condensed Leadership Experience to your country. Find a venue and gather a small group – we'll handle the rest.
Build your core team.
After experiencing the weekend, invite a small group of couples from your country to do the same. They become the foundation of your local Outback team.
Launch together.
When you're ready, our team comes alongside you to help run the first Outback weekend in your country. You lead locally. We support every step of the way.
Reach out and let’s have a conversation.
Your first step costs you nothing. We cover your stay at an Outback weekend in Poland so you can experience it before committing to anything. Local costs come later – and by then you’ll have a team to share them with.
That’s a real challenge – and one only locals can solve. We won’t pretend otherwise. But it’s also a solvable one, and we’ll walk with you when the time comes.
Outback has run in the USA, India, Israel, New Zealand, Kenya and across Europe. What it does at its core – helping families encounter God and each other – crosses every cultural barrier. The format adapts. The fruit remains.
You won’t be alone. The Polish team walks with you through every stage – from preparation to the first event and beyond. We’ve made the mistakes so you don’t have to.
