Bring hope to families in your country.

JH Outback gives your church or organisation a proven way to restore marriages, reconnect families and reach young adults – through a single weekend that changes people from the inside. Running for 14 years across Europe and still growing.

Families across Europe are under pressure.

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.

A weekend that changes families from the inside.

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.

A proven experience.

 

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.

One vision. Three weekends.

 

Each program addresses a different relationship – but all three share the same foundation: God at the center, real transformation as the goal.

Marriage

A two-day Christ-centered experience that strengthens communication, rebuilds unity and helps couples rediscover one another.

Parent + Child

A relational adventure where parents and children step away from distractions to reconnect, understand each other and rebuild trust.

Young Adults

A transformational weekend for students and young adults building their lives on biblical values – discovering identity, purpose and authentic community.

Not just an event. A model.

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.

Real people. Real change.

New chapter

„We arrived in crisis. Nobody had been able to help us. JH Outback turned out to be an extraordinary tool in God’s hands — it transformed what we had been struggling with for months. A new chapter began.”

Stronger bond

“We came as a typical father and son – we left with a bond that changed our family.”

Tomek

Parent & Teen Outback

New adventure

“JH Outback is the beginning of a new adventure — a place where you can hear God for the first time, experience His love and leave behind what was holding you down. No pressure, no performance.”

Roksana

Exceptional weekend

“JH Outback allowed me to see my husband differently — to notice what gets overlooked in everyday life. It was an exceptional weekend, full of God’s presence, good people and precious time.”

Elwira

Marriage Outback

Deeper love

“On my first JH Outback I came with my 18-year-old son. We stopped, looked each other in the eyes and got to know each other better. I understood that I can love my son more deeply — and that we walk toward our Creator together.”

How to start Outback?

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

We will equip you, support you and show up when it counts.

What we bring:

  • Ready-made programs, scripts and materials,
  • Training and mentoring from an experienced team,
  • Our team present at your first event,
  • A proven model that keeps building community long-term.

What comes from you:

  • Funding your local costs,
  • Finding your venue,
  • Building your team for you,

Common questions from leaders.

1. Do I need a large team to start?

No. It begins with one leader who catches the vision. You’ll invite a small group of couples to experience Outback with you – and that becomes your core team. We help you grow from there.

2. What language are the programs in?

The materials are currently in Polish. We work with each new country on translation and adaptation for their local context.

3. Is there a cost to partner with Outback Europe?

There is no licensing fee. We invest in our partners – starting with covering your first visit to Poland. Local costs such as venue, printing and logistics are carried by the local team.

4. How long does it take to organize the first event?

It depends on the team and local context – but typically at least several months of preparation with our support. We walk with you through the whole process.

5. Is Outback right for a new or small church?

Outback works best when led by someone with a stable foundation in faith and a clear vision for their community. It is not designed for brand-new believers or very young leaders without ministry experience.

6. What exactly does the Polish team provide on-site?

For the first event, our team comes to your country to help facilitate the weekend alongside your local team. This means practical guidance and support – not replacing your leadership, but strengthening it.

7. What if i don't have a budget?

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.

8. What if I don't have a permanent venue?

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.

9. What if it doesn't work in my culture?

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.

10. What if I start something I can't finish?

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.
