CSM, the school of music/worship with whom we partner, has just launched CSM/online – a website specifically designed to provide resources and equip musicians and worship leaders in the Polish churches. We are so excited to recommend this service as we believe it has been carefully and prayerfully created in order to build up the church in the area of worship.
Check out their website for more information: csmonline.edu.pl |

| The new church plant in the Wilanow district of Warsaw will officially launch this Sunday, Oct. 7. The Warsaw South church has commissioned Nate and Ola Berry and their team to begin this new work. Please join us in praying for a large enough facility to house their gatherings as they begin meeting each week. May the light of Jesus shine in Wilanow and the life-changing Word of the Lord run swiftly! |

| Pastor Wojciech Lemke and the church in Gdynia hosted a "Wild West" outreach for children before the school year began. They were excited as 25 – 29 children attended each day. Pastor Fryderyk Domaradzki and the church in Lodz likewise prepared a week-long day camp for 20 children in their city. We praise God for their efforts and pray God will bear fruit from these and other outreaches to children across Poland. |

| NORTH LIBERTY CHURCH OF CHRIST |
|
| The North Liberty Church of Christ has supported PCM for several years. Currently, they provide full support for the church in Ostroda, as well as providing partial support for the church in Olsztyn. It is always a big encouragement to meet with a church like North Liberty who makes God’s work among the nations a priority. |

| We rejoice with Daniel Masarczyk and the church in Sosnowiec as their new sanctuary is almost finished. The funds we have received for our Church Building Fund have provided support for thirteen renovation and building projects – including this major addition to the Sosnowiec church.
We have almost reached our goal of $175,000 for the Church Building Fund. Please consider giving so we can realize our goal by the end of 2018.
A big THANK YOU to all those who have already given! It’s so encouraging to see your gifts materialize into new worship centers and renovated facilities where more and more Polish people can come and find new life. |
