| PCM BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING |
|
| The spring 2018 PCM Board meeting was once again hosted this April at the Brighton Christian Church (Brighton, MI). It is a time to not only review statistics and strategize for the future, but to pray for one another and for the nation of Poland. We were so encouraged by our time together and thank God for these ten individuals who so freely give of themselves and their resources on behalf of the nation of Poland. |

|
|
| During April we had the opportunity to visit most of PCM’s supporting churches in Virginia and West Virginia. It was so good to connect with church leaders in Hedgesville (WV), Mechanicsville, Glen Allen, Hampton, and New Castle – as well as several churches represented at the Central Virginia Ladies Conference. We are so thankful for these faithful partners who are committed to prayer and who support God’s work in Poland. |

| KOLOBRZEG CELEBRATES 40 YEARS |
|
| Congratulations to Piotr & Nelli Karel, Andrzej & Danuta Ostrowski, and the entire congregation in Kolobrzeg as they celebrate 40 years of faithful service. We thank God for the spiritual impact this church has made upon the northwest region of Poland and pray God will continue to bless them as they lift high the name of Jesus. |

| Paulina Stiebler, a young woman from Germany, discovered PCM online. After doing some research, she contacted us with a desire to serve the nation of Poland as a PCM intern. It was a delight to hear Paulina’s story and to hear her heart for God and for serving Him. On April 12, Paulina arrived in Ostroda, Poland, where she is serving with Zbigniew Chojnacki and the Ostroda church, as well as serving the youth of that region under the supervision of PCM’s partner, Oksana Bilous. We are encouraged by young adults such as Paulina who are willing to step out of their comfort zone and embark on an adventure that will reap eternal rewards. Please pray for Paulina as her internship continues until the end of May. |
