“Life on Life” discipleship group leaders gathered in Ostroda for a week of training and fellowship. Guests from Atlanta, GA, and Mt. Vernon, OH, assisted in this time of training.
The church in Bielsk Podlaski hosted a five day VBS at their building for local children.  60+ children came each day with nearly 30 volunteers assisting in the outreach. Pastor Henryk Karasiewicz shared:
“I am very happy and thankful to God
for this VBS.”

Praise God for…
…the successful sale of the Złotów church building in late July.
…the Rybnik church which is now self-supporting and financially independent.
…the five day Bible Clubs held in six places in Sosnowiec where many adults and children heard the Good News.
 
Please pray for…
…Roman and Joanna Chmielewski as they transition from pastoral leadership in Katowice to a discipleship ministry.
…the ELI Project to raise up an additional eight Polish interns by October to join the existing eight interns in the training and development of the next church planting team in Warsaw.
…the Rada Krajowa (Polish National Council) meeting this month in Kolobrzeg; for God to impart wisdom to its leaders on how to disperse the funds from the sale of the church building in Zlotow, and other important matters.
…Helmut Kowaczek, an elder at the Ostroda church, undergoing treatment for bone cancer.
…Basia Zwolinska, wife of Marcin Zwolinski (pastor in Olsztyn) as she continues to receive cancer treatment.

 
Thank you from the Harris family for your thoughts and prayers on behalf of Lois and her cancer treatment.  She is doing really well now with the worst behind her.  Zephaniah 3:17
