Serving the people of Poland since 1954  

Polish Christian Ministries
May 2015
“May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” Galatians 6:14

May the forgiveness found in the cross be accepted in the hearts and lives of the people of Poland so that true revival can sweep this nation. 
 
Please pray for Oksana Bilous, PCM’s Volunteer Intern Supervisor, as she prepares for the summer. Retreats, workshops and camps are already under way. She will welcome intern Ashlen Nisley to Ostróda from May 31-July 14 as she comes to serve alongside Oksana in these outreach initiatives. We give thanks to God for these young women and their willingness to serve.

 

PCM’s Board of Directors met in Brighton, Michigan, on April 26-28. While there are policies to approve and motions to pass, prayer remains the foundation of our labors as we seek to serve the churches of Poland.

 
The “YEAR of DISCIPLESHIP“  is the 2015 theme for the Polish Christian Churches/Churches of Christ. To assist Polish leaders in ministry, John Stott’s classic book, The Radical Disciple: Some Neglected Aspects of Our Calling is being translated. The cost of this project is $2,000.  If you would like to contribute toward this endeavor, please make a note on the memo line of your check: “2015: Year of Discipleship.”
Please pray for…
… the “Children’s Day” outreaches which several Polish churches will organize at the end of May
… the church plant in Siedlce which is now meeting on Sundays in a home
… the church in Tomaszów Mazowiecki which has launched a new church plant in Łódz (P109)
