But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Acts 1:8

ANNUAL CHURCH LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

What a great privilege to gather with nearly all our Polish pastors plus some of their elders at the annual Christian Church conference in Zakosciele! We are so thankful for these men and the high level of leadership they exhibit. Please continue to pray for them and their congregations.

Northwest Poland

These three men from the Southport Heights CC in Indianapolis, IN, traveled with us throughout NW Poland earlier in June. Steve Ferguson and the Southport congregation are a “living link” church with Stanisław Kotliński and the Messianic congregation in Koszalin. It was great meeting with leaders and worshiping with PCM’s partner churches in this region of Poland.

FIRST TIME

Lois Harris has served PCM as an administrative assistant for 23 years. This June she and her husband, Frank, traveled to Poland for the first time. They were able to meet with several of the Polish pastors as well as enjoy the beauty, history, and culture of the nation. We are thankful for Lois and are so glad she could at last step foot in this country which she has served so faithfully over the years.

Holocaust Survivors Camp

A big “thank you” to the team from Compassion Christian Church in Savannah, GA, who came again this year to serve our guests from Israel. Together with a team of musicians from Wisconsin, they created a beautiful atmosphere of love and shalom at Ostroda Camp. We pray the hearts of these dear ones will soon turn to behold their Messiah, Yeshua.

UKRAINIAN CHILDREN’S CAMP 2017

We just finished 8 wonderful days with 68 Ukrainian children at Ostroda Camp. Two U.S. teams from Brighton, MI, and Marshfield, MO, joined with a team of Ukrainian counselors to teach and love on these children. Our theme was “It’s All About Jesus.” Please pray for the seeds planted in the hearts of these children to bear fruit that will last forever.
