Arrived in South Africa!

/in /by

Yes, it’s true!  We made it to South Africa!

After many dreams and indications that God wanted us to make the jump — we jumped and relocated the mission from Poland to S.A.!  Well, actually, we’re in the process of relocation — we’re in house-hunting mode (please pray for that :)…  We know the perfect place is waiting to be found :)

Once the dust settles here (after finding a house, etc) we’ll have more time to actually update this website and keep the testimonies flowing in :)

In the meanwhile, here’s a few photos of the trip!

 

Frank Jenner – impact of one man’s faithfulness

This is the encouraging, true story of Frank Jenner, the “little white haired man” who was faithful to share his faith.  If you’re a Christian, this will inspire you.

Challenging the students to think deep

Challenging High School students to change the World!

I’ve been keeping very busy the last couple of weeks – speaking with students in various high school English classes. My goal is to get them thinking deeper about life, their goals and visions — as well as what they can do to make a positive impact on the world and society in general (and of course to get them to improve their English in the process. :)

In the class we try to get to the bottom of human behavior and what it means to truly live a “great” life. [singlepic id=185 w=320 h=240 float=right]Inevitably they, of themselves, begin to identify certain qualities such as love, unselfishness, belief, and having a vision to help others — as common denominators for greatness.

It’s very rewarding for me to see some lights turning on in minds and hearts where previously, in many cases, there wasn’t much happening between the synaptical connections :)

Those who are interested I also invite to a free English conversation course so we can continue the discussion. Topics of life, changing the world, and faith pop up and make for deeper discussion.

As a result of these presentations for the students I was asked to speak during a teacher trainer seminar for teachers all over Warsaw which will take place in June … another opportunity to change the world :)

Reaching out in Korea

/in /by

I just returned from a one week trip to Korea.  I was invited there by some Korean Christians we’re doing some projects with here in Warsaw.  (I’m helping teach Bible Courses for Korean and other students.)

It was quite a busy trip and I hit the ground running after getting off the plane :)  They gave me the grand tour of their student ministries and I had the opportunity to speak, encourage, and share in a few of these meetings.  I also spoke in the main church which was coordinating all these events.  It was quite an experience and I was able to participate in baptizing about ten new believers.

It’s amazing — no matter where we go in the world we have family members (God’s children; our brothers and sisters) there to meet us :)  It’s going to be a great reunion in Heaven!

Children’s Hospital and Convalescent Homes – Christmas 2010

/in /by

Many people celebrate Christmas with joy, family and friends.  For others Christmas is a time of sadness and loneliness due to their particular circumstances.  Because of this, Christmas is an important time for us as we seek to reach out in special ways to those who may need an extra touch of love, hope, and friendship — and especially, an introduction to God’s eternal and personal love through Jesus, which is the whole message and meaning of Christmas.

Below you’ll find a few photos from a children’s hospital and a convalescent home that we went to during Christmas.
