And the One who provides seed for the sower and bread for food, will provide and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness.  II Corinthians 9:10
 
ELI initiative in Wilanow
The ELI interns hosted a special time of prayer and outreach in the Wilanow district of Warsaw the first week of July. Throughout the week we interviewed people on the street, held conversations in coffee shops, and gathered information about the needs of the community. These are the first steps in establishing a life-giving church in this district. Please pray for the new contacts which were made during this initiative.

Weekend in Nysa
We recently shared a wonderful time in Nysa. This was an important weekend as it was the first time that Dave Menge and Doyle Warren (one of PCM’s directors) could meet with Pastor Bartek Robel and the church leaders face to face. Dave Menge pastors the Western Hills Christian Church in Lawton, OK, which is now Nysa’s “living link” church. 
 
Sunday in Wyszkow
It is always good to worship with the congregation in Wyszkow. Dave Menge and Doyle Warren joined PCM as together with Pastor Lukasz Osik and the church leaders a partnership agreement was signed. We look forward to the days ahead as together we seek to make Jesus known in the city of Wyszkow.
Gdynia Renovation
The church in Gdynia is expanding their place of worship. When finished it will seat 80 people — twice the current number. Most of the labor is being done with their own hands. Praise God for signs of growth!
Lodz Children’s Outreach 

The church in Lodz recently hosted a kids camp for children ages 6-12. 31 children met daily from June 27-July 1 for lessons and fun activities. Fourteen adults volunteered to teach, serve, and love on these kids. It was such a special time and many young lives were changed forever by the power of God’s love. 
 
 Vacation Bible Club
 in Bielsk Podlaski
 
The New Hope Christian Christian in Whitestown, IN, is sending a team to assist children’s leaders in Bielsk Podlaski. The Vacation Bible Club (WKB in Polish) will meet daily August 9-13 and will include Bible lessons, games, English classes, crafts, drama, and more. We are thankful for Basia and Henryk Karasiewicz and their leadership and pray God will touch the lives of many young people as a result of this outreach. 
 
Praising God for…
…the successful church-planting initiative in Wilanow led by the ELI interns in Warsaw
…the short-term workers from Lawton, OK and Weatherford, OK, who served this past month in Poland 
 
Please pray for…
…the team from New Hope Christian Church, Whitestown, IN, who will serve at the Vacation Bible Club in Bielsk Podlaski.
…the teams from Fairmount Christian, Mechanicsville, VA, who will be doing a business seminar in Lublin followed by a week of morning VBS/afternoon basketball camp. 
…the many young people who made significant decisions for Jesus this summer. May they remain faithful and be encouraged as many of them have returned to difficult home situations.
