“The gospel is bearing fruit and growing

throughout the whole world-just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.”
Colossians 1:6
PLOCK Celebrates 25 years
 
In September the church in Plock celebrated 25 years of reaching out to their community with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Salem Christian Church in Richmond, Kentucky, is their Living Link church. We pray God’s continued blessing on Pastor Jacek Konicki and the Plock congregation as they seek to make the name of Jesus known in their city.
 
 
New Season for WYSZKOW   

An exciting step was taken this month in Wyszkow as the congregation transitioned from “mission station” status to becoming a registered church. The church leadership is in place and a new season has begun. May God continue to lead this congregation and add to its numbers daily.
 

  

 
TAYLOR team 
These students make up the Taylor University Lighthouse team coming to Poland in January 2016. They will meet weekly throughout the fall semester in preparation for the trip. Their primary focus will be teaching English in the public high school in partnership with the church in Sandomierz. We thank God for these young servants. 
 
 
 

Janina Kobus, the widow of pastor 
Sergiusz Kobus, passed
away in September in Gdansk, Poland. 
Together they served 

the Christian churches in Olsztyn, Bialogard, and Gdynia. We give thanks for Janina and her faithful service and pray God’s 
comfort for all those grieving her loss.
