Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. Psalm 116:15

 
 
Do Zobaczenia, Faithful Servant
 
On Sunday evening, August 27, our dear brother, Paul Bajko, age 95, went to be with the Lord. As founder and director of PCM for more than 40 years, his life has greatly impacted the growth of the church in Poland. We thank God for this faithful servant who poured himself out on behalf of God’s kingdom work. Please join us in praying God’s peace and comfort over Paul’s wife, Adela, and the rest of the family.
 
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. (I Thess. 4:16-18)

 
VBS in Bielsk Podlaski
 
 For 25 years the church in Bielsk Podlaski has organized a Vacation Bible School for the children in their community. This summer was no exception as they welcomed 67 children the first week of August. 10 adults, 28 teenage volunteers, and a kitchen staff of 14 served these children — teaching the Word of God, singing songs of praise, playing games, creating art, and showing the love of Jesus. May God complete the good work He has begun in these young lives!

 
 
Gospel Camp

 
The Center for the Training of Musicians and Worship Leaders (CSM) under the direction of Adam Kosewski recently organized a “Gospel Camp” for musicians and their families. Besides the training offered to improve vocal and instrumental skills, it was a time of worship and inspiration.
 
CSM offers ongoing training throughout the year in two locations.

 
It’s exciting to watch as worship leaders are being encouraged to lead with excellence from humble hearts filled with praise.
 
 
Building Projects Fund
 
We’re on our way toward reaching our goal but there’s still a ways to go. As of August 31, PCM has received $61,931.20 toward our targeted amount of $175,000. These funds go toward the nine building/renovation projects currently underway in our Polish churches.
 
Please join us in praying and consider donating so the needed funds will be in hand by the end of 2018. We are thankful for the growth occurring in several of our churches and the need for more space. We trust God to provide so that His church will continue to grow and reach out to the people of Poland.
