Spring Has Sprung!

Our last days in Warsaw have been delightful! The brilliant blue sky and ample sunshine have put a skip in our steps as we have explored the city and prayed along its streets. From the Jewish cemetery to the ghetto memorial, from the presidential palace to the parks filled with people, we have prayed that the hope of our blessed Messiah would fill this place. We believe God has a special calling upon the nation of Poland, and so we pray that each man, woman, and child, as well as the nation as a whole, will call upon the name of the Lord and find their hope in Him. May the God who brings the springtime breathe new life into the hearts of the Polish people!

Humble Servants

I'm a student, a writer, a teacher, a worship leader, a thinker -- but a painter or handy-woman?? ... not so much. But sometimes we have to roll up our sleeves and allow God to stretch us in ways we aren't so familiar with. Thus, I found myself at our camp facility in Ostróda with Dave and a 3-member team of dynamos from the States. Jan and Margaret are two "seasoned" ladies who put me to shame with their endless energy and ability to wield a paint roller for hours at a time. Steve is the kind of guy who knows how to fix everything and can paint a straight border free-hand with no problem. For ten days we labored together, painting the dining hall, stairwell, and upstairs lounge in our main building at the camp. I was sore and exhausted, while my cohorts were cheerful and relentless. :) Dave and I thank God for such dear servants who sacrifice their time, pay the price, and come to Poland to quietly perform some much-needed tasks so that the ministry can continue with excellence and lives can be changed to God's glory. Thanks, Jan, Margaret, and Steve!! You're the bestest!!!
