But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy fatih and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Jude 20-21
BEMOWO INITIATIVE IN WARSAW
What a great week in the Bemowo district of Warsaw! While our team served in Bemowo, another team was serving in the Wilanow district. Altogether, thirty Americans came and served alongside our Polish friends in renovating apartments and a cultural center, visiting the elderly at a veterans’ home, hosting a seniors’ club event, and assisting at a day care facility. These acts of community service help to raise awareness and build relationships – key elements as these new churches establish a presence within the city of Warsaw.
ENGLISH CLASSES IN CIECHANOW
It was such a joy partnering with Krzysztof Adamkowski and the church in Ciechanów to provide five days of English classes for children, teens, and adults. We were very happy that sixty students participated in this event. A big thank you to Steve and Courtney Shuster from the Bloomsburg Christian Church (Bloomsburg, PA) for leading the team and preparing the curriculum. So many new relationships were developed and God is already producing fruit as a result of this endeavor.
MEETING PLACE IN DZIALDOWO
Arek Kotlewski and the believers in Dzialdowo have been actively reaching out to their community this summer. On Sunday mornings they have been meeting in a cinema until just recently when the cinema closed for renovations. They since have met outdoors in a public place for worship. We rejoice with them as their church grows and join them in praying for a new, affordable place where they can gather for worship.
