"Winter Fruit Realized"

Lubin, Poland
May 2008
“Winter Fruit Realized”

Last September, we sent out a newsletter with the title, “Summer Planting brings Winter fruit”.
It has been amazing to see the Spirit of God at work. One young man has given his life to
Christ and a lady is very close to making a decision. Has God worked? Yes!

Over the last three years, God has been in the process of realizing His plan.
We feel privileged to be able to come and join Him and be a part of what He is doing here in Lubin, Poland.
There is now a body of believers who meet for worship, teaching and fellowship.
A coffee house and language school were started through the fellowship and continues to give us, as a Regional Impact Team,
opportunities to share Christ. We give God all the glory for what He is doing!

On May 28, Lord willing, we will be in Indiana for the start of our three month home
service. We are looking forward to seeing many of you
in person to thank you for your prayers and financial
encouragement. It will be an intense time as we will be
traveling from Baltimore to Alaska. We have three
prayer requests:

1. Prayer for travel as we travel to see many of you.
2. Prayer for a good time of reconnecting with friends
and family which we have not seen for about three
years.
3. In order for us to return to Poland at the end of August apx. $800 per month of new
pledged support needs to be raised. In actuality, we should be raising apx. $2331,97
per month due to the weak dollar. Please pray! Three months is not a lot of time.

Harvesting together,
Paul, Carlene, Andrew, Aaron and Alaina

May Eager Prayer Update

May 4-10

Praise: WE WILL BE GOING TO THE STATES FOR HOME SERVICE IN LESS THAN A MONTH! We’ll be in the US May 28th-August 29th. It’s a shorter home service this time because we need to be back by September 1st so the kids can start school on time. We’re excited to see you in person! We do realize however, that it won’t be possible to visit with everyone because of lack of time, but we’re hoping to be able to talk and connect that way. We are SO thankful for your faithful support and for ALL your prayers. We are so humbled and filled with gratitude for your constant faithfulness. We’re thankful also for the provision of missionary housing through McCoy Memorial Baptist Church. We’re thankful our co-workers will be living in our house and taking care of our dog while we’re gone. We’re thankful it works out to take the kids out of school 3 ½ weeks early and that we’ll be able to attend Carlene’s nephew’s wedding. We’re thankful we’ll be able to be with Carlene’s parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. We’re also thankful that we will be able to spend time with all of Paul’s family in Alaska.
Prayer: There are many, many details yet to be planned and prepared before we leave. Pray for each one to fall into place and get done. To put it mildly, we’re rather stressed! J We’re still in need of a car for the 3 months—pray for God’s provision.
Also, on the 10th, we will be having our 3rd Annual Ladies’ Tea at the Coffee House. Carlene will be sharing a short devotional. Pray for those invited to come. Pray for each believer who comes that she will be encouraged and each non-believer to have an open heart to understand what God has for her. Pray for a sweet and refreshing atmosphere and God’s love and Word to reach each heart.


May 11-17

Praise: For the beautiful flowering trees and green leaves and grass we see as we look out from our balcony!
Prayer: Andrew will be going with his class on a 3-day field trip to two well-known, historic cities in Poland (Krakow and Zakopane) the 12th -14th. Pray for safety, good weather, a great time and that he’ll be a good witness.
May 18-24
Praise: Praise for patient, understanding teachers and directors and for their willingness to “work with us.”
Prayer: Aaron’s class will be going on a 10-day field trip by the Baltic Sea starting on the 22nd. Because we’re leaving for the States earlier, we’ll be picking him up on the 27th and then flying out the next day! Please pray also for him as in the above request for Andrew’s trip. They are both excited about the trips.
Also, we’re planning the International English-speaking service on the 18th. Pray for those interested to come and students from English classes to come. Pray for receptive hearts.
Also, Carlene will be having her English classes ending on the 23rd with an all-out American hamburger and hotdog grill. The students will receive their certificate for the year. Pray for good weather, many parents will come and conversations will gear towards spiritual matters.

May 25-31

Praise: We’re so thankful we’re able to be at Carlene’s nephew’s wedding on the 31st!
Prayer: Pray for safety for Paul as he travels to pick up Aaron 6 hours there and back. Pray for last minute details this week to get done before we leave. Pray for good flights on the 28th, safety and an opportunity to share Christ with someone seeking Him.

Blessings,

Paul, Carlene
Andrew, Aaron and Alaina
