We made it back to Poland! The Lord changed a lot of our plans for medical help. He sent a caregiver back to Poland with my wife. Miss Julie has a Slavic background and speaks at a basic level of the Slavic language, which will be a lot of help to her in adapting to Poland, as she is already able to communicate with the Polish people in our church to some degree.

One man invited a woman to our church. He found her in a coffee shop where a priest runs the place of business and entertains the people. The first lady came to our church and brought a man friend of hers. The man who came with her got saved—she was saved and baptized before meeting us. Julie has been taking her through a discipleship course.

We would ask you to pray for Miss T. She has come to our church service now for the last several months, but she’s being pulled by the Catholic church. Pray that we would be able to influence her more so that she would come and bring her daughter to our Sunday school.
Pray for the Sunday school. We had several children who were coming and sitting in the service, but they were very bored; now they are not coming to our meetings. Last Sunday, Jolie taught a flannel lesson to four children who came.

Pray for the visa situation for our new caregiver, Miss Julie. Pray that we can get our foundation ready to be able to sponsor her; also pray that we can get the visa work started to help her get a resident card.

The only restaurant near our home that is open almost all of the time is the local McDonald’s. I have been a frequent customer there since my wife has been sick. The McDonald’s near our home knew we were gone to the United States for two months, and one of the workers told me everyone at the restaurant near our house knew we were gone. I got to give out the Gospel to many of the people at the restaurant, and we are now inviting them to the new church plant. One young man named A is always excited to see me. Pray for a church to get started in Minsk Mazowiecki.

Also, we need more willing servants to come to help out with the church plants, even if it is for a few weeks or short-term. We can get a place for you to stay, and you can get a three-month-visa stay in Poland. It’s a city right near where we live. Warsaw, where our church is presently located, is our first church plant, which is 45 minutes from where we live. We have many opportunities for people to serve, teach, disciple, evangelize in outreach, and help start a rescue mission.

I spent two hours teaching two Polish ladies while we were in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber for Jolie’s therapy. This is the beginning of the second church plant we are starting here in Minsk Mazowiecki where we live. Pray for Mrs. M and Mrs. D. They are very interested and asking a lot of questions from the Bible; they listened intently to what I was teaching.

Miss D in our church has asked us for the names of people who are not coming to our church. She is contacting these people and asking them how they’re doing and inviting them to our church services. She is a very outgoing person. She speaks English and Polish. She regularly brings visitors to church. She just delivered a baby girl.

More than conquerors,
