Unity...

So, almost a week is down here in Poland. Currently we are at a "festival" called Real Action. It has been amazing to see the way that God is working here through people from different nations. I have worked on two different projects; one was re-painting a playground and the other was re-painting a fence. Kenji and I have enjoyed working with people from all over Poland and different countries. Every night and morning we gather as a big group and worship, it is a perfect demonstration of unity within the body. We worship in Polish and English and the message is translated from Polish to English for all of us Americans and non-Polish speaking people.

The language is very difficult to learn but I am trying with very small phrases such as "I don't speak Polish". The work is very tiring but worth it to see the Lord glorified in this city. I am so encouraged to hear of all of the stories that are taking place through all of the different projects happening throughout the town. However I am not so encouraged from all of the mosquitoes that are here in Poland. Every day we are eaten alive! I probably have over 500 bites on my body!

On Saturday we are having a concert/party for the conclusion of this festival. So please be praying for that, that people in this town will see Gods love and grace through our work.

On Sunday we leave for Zakosciele where we will stay for the remainder of our time. I love it here and am so excited to see what is next one our trip.

  1. Wow, those mosquitos sound terrible! I bet they're even worse than you're describing. Why did God make mosquitos? Can ANYBODY answer that question??????
