Polish Christian Ministries

October 2017

“We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” Romans 6:4

NEW LIFE IN BAPTISM

We rejoice with the many baptisms reported this month in the Polish churches. Pictured are baptisms from the Płock, Biala Podlaska, and Garwolin congregations.

May God continue to change lives to His glory!

NEW BUILDING

We join Pastor Andrzej Hara and the congregation in Grudziadz in giving thanks to God for their new church building. This September they hosted a special thanksgiving service as they dedicated the facility to God and His purposes.

Thanks be to God for His faithful provision!

ORDINATION

Adam Bronowicki (son of Pastor Henryk Bronowicki) was ordained into the ministry this past month in Biala Podlaska. It’s exciting to watch as the next generation of leaders rise up to serve the church. Congratulations, Adam! May God bless you as you heed God’s call on your life.

50 YEARS!

Congratulations to the congregation in Bielsk Podlaski who recently celebrated

50 years of serving their city and proclaiming the name of Jesus!

Building Projects Fund

We’re on our way toward reaching our goal but there’s still a ways to go. As of September 30, PCM has received $63,000.00 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.
