“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, …”
(Colossians 4:2-3)

Praising God for New Life
We always rejoice when we hear reports of lives surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus. Whether in a river, a baptistry, or a swimming pool — it’s a time of celebration as believers are baptized into Christ. We thank God for what He’s doing in Siedlce, Biała Podlaska, Sosnowiec, and other cities and pray God would continue to bring in a harvest of souls across the nation of Poland.

In Training
Adam Dulinski, one of the new church planters in Warsaw, will be traveling with his wife, Klaudia, to the States on October 14. They will spend a month in training and will be seeking to raise additional support as they prepare to lead a church planting initiative in the one of the districts of Warsaw. Please be in prayer for this young couple as they devote themselves to God’s kingdom work.

Stateside
Oksana Bilous, shown here between her mother and sister-in-law, will also be traveling to the States on Oct. 14. She hopes to build new relationships and raise additional support so that she can continue the ministry God has called her to in Ostróda, Poland. Please join us in praying for Oksana.

Faithful Partners
The Parkway Church of Christ congregation in Allentown, PA, has been a faithful “Living Link” partner with the church in Sandomierz, Poland, for more than 15 years. We thank God for each of PCM’s supporting churches that make the work in Poland possible.

Be Devoted to Prayer
Please continue to pray for Bronek Hury (Slowo i Zycie editor) as he recovers from heart surgery. Daniel Masarczyk (pastor in Sosnowiec) needs prayer to reduce his blood pressure. Please pray for wisdom and strength for Daniel as he oversees a new building project and cares for the needs of a growing congregation. Please pray for Marek Charis and the Hosanna Church in Lublin as they search for a new place to hold weekly gatherings. Pray for the churches in Koszalin and Lodz as they face challenges in their leadership.
Pray that communities across Poland will be impacted with the Gospel message and the name of Jesus will be exalted.
