Nov. 4-10
Praise: For the 80 students we have contact with through our language center. Many are returnees.
Prayer: Pray that in these two months as we have Thanksgiving and Christmas activities that we will be able to personally share about Christ and that the Holy Spirit would draw those who are seeking to ask questions. Continue to pray for spiritual fruit. Pray also as there was just a holiday on the 1st (All Saint’s Day) where people go to the graves of their relatives and pray for them that the Lord would use this to bring about conversations about Him with our students.
Nov. 11-17
Praise: For the 30 kids who have been regularly attending the Kids Club (called Logosiaki) every Friday afternoon. Praise for the “good problem” we have of almost not being able to fit this many in our building.
Prayer: Pray that through the Bible stories and the testimony through our lives, the children would understand and one day give their lives to Christ. Pray that the parents would understand too. Many, but not all, come from low-income housing and we pray that these children would have the opportunity to “get out of the cycle” and be able to get good schooling and work later in life. Pray for their salvation.
Nov. 18-24
Praise: Thanksgiving is not a holiday here but praise that we will be able to use it here to be able to reach out to our contacts and friends as we celebrate this American holiday. Praise for the opportunity for fellowship with our missionary friends, as we will have a get-together Saturday here at our house to remember Thanksgiving.
Prayer: On the 22nd there will be Thanksgiving activities for the English groups. There will be a children’s party and later one for the adults who attend the English classes. Pray as we share why the Pilgrims went to America, that God would touch their hearts. Pray as we have contact with the parents that they would sense something different in our lives and want to know more.

Nov. 25-Dec. 1
Praise: Praise that though there are many frustrating and discouraging times, it is a joy and privilege to be able to live and serve here.
Prayer: There is a small group of internationals here in Lubin from Brazil, Africa, Mongolia, Albania, the Philippines and America with whom we’ve had the opportunity to be in contact through English or neighbors. We will be having a Christmas international evening on December 1st where everyone will bring a dish from his / her country and share traditions. Pray that the Lord would use this as He would like and receive glory through this. This involves all from the church.
Pray also for the youth who come regularly to the Coffee House. Some regularly attend the Monday night Bible study, some not so regularly. Pray for their salvation. Pray especially for Rich, Zbyszek and Andrea who lead the study, and for wisdom and guidance in how to continue reaching out to them as well as making new contacts.
Dec. 2-8
Praise: For our church!
Prayer: Pray for the Lord to grow our church, that those whom we invite to come would come and that we would see growth in all our individual lives with Him. Pray for those who preach -- Henryk, Zbyszek, Paul, Mariusz and Rich that God would speak through them. Pray for wisdom as we meet once a month for “business” meetings. Pray for unity and love as we make decisions as a church body. There are still about 29 (including children) who regularly attend. Though there have been visitors, we haven’t seen people coming to salvation and joining the church. PRAY for the Spirit’s outpouring and for people’s salvation! Pray that they would want to become part of the fellowship here.
Dec. 9-15
Praise: Praise for wonderful, patient and helpful teachers our kids have in their school.
Prayer: We will be having the last Kid’s Club this Friday before the Christmas holidays. We will be giving shoebox packages to the children who attend. As a church, we have been collecting items and will be packaging them up the beginning of this week. Pray for the Lord to use this outreach.
Dec. 16-22
Praise: Praise for our team and for a new team member coming soon, Louise Eisenhauer!
Prayer: We will be having English Christmas parties for the children’s and adult groups. The children will be acting out the nativity scene, having memorized their parts in English. Parents are invited to come. Pray that even in this busy time, they will sense a difference through this time and the importance of Christ’s birth. Pray for a breakthrough into their lives to understand what it really means to have a personal relationship with Jesus and not just a ritual of going to mass and doing what they think needs to be done.
Pray also that we will be able to find the right and suitable housing for Louise quickly and close to the Coffee House.
Dec. 23-29
Praise: For our children! Aaron has been very patient with having to wear his eye patch and is very diligent about putting in on each day. He’s sure happy at 7 pm everyday when he gets to take it off. Praise that at each eye appointment, there is improvement. Alaina continues to love to go to school and is learning her letters quickly. Andrew is a self-motivated worker in getting his schoolwork done and is doing a good job doing it in Polish! We’re all enjoying our sweet 7-month-old dog too! She’s helped us meet new people.
Prayer: Pray that we will focus on Christ in a deeper way as a family this Christmas season and that the kids will grow in their walks with the Lord. Pray as they play with friends that they will be able to talk about God and be a good witness. Pray for wisdom for us (as parents!) to know how to handle each circumstance and situation that comes up in helping them through conflicts and other everyday issues. That’s a constant prayer!
