Good things happen here

It's hard to believe that it's already Thursday night in Poland. We'll head home tomorrow. Last night's invitation was amazing. The speaker gave a message on the crucifixion from Barabbas' perspective (Mark 15). He illustrated that Jesus literally died in Barabbas' place and how he also died in our place. I don't know exactly how many campers accepted Christ last night, but at least 63 came forward to either accept Christ or to learn more about Him. Praise God! Today and tomorrow, their leaders are following up with them and beginning the next step of discipleship with them. As for today, we (Heather and the Soderlunds) went into Tomaszow to see Proem's new school. The former beauty salon and day spa is in the process of becoming the new home for students in kindergarten through second grade. Praise God! It is also worth mentioning that the school is located in the middle of a new booming development in the city where lots of young families congregate. Zaba, a camp leader and the principal at the new site is overjoyed with the prospects of being the first Christian school in all of Poland that welcomes non-Christian students as well as non-Christian teachers! What an amazing ministry opportunity.

Oh and of course it was Kielbasa roast night and crazy hats were a must.

"Gangsta Brothers!!!" Here's David with his friend Samuel. Samuel is the son of Stephanie and Tomek, our friends who serve with PROeM.
Here's how you can pray/praise right now:
  • Please pray for travel mercies. Tomorrow we fly from Warsaw to London, then London to LA. We depart Warsaw at noon and are scheduled to arrive in LA at 7pm California time (4am in Poland).
  • Please pray for the campers who accepted Christ this week.
  • Please pray for the campers who heard the gospel this week but have not had a heart change.
  • Praise God for the wonderful things that are happening in His name here in Poland.
