December 7-13
Praise: Ben Rowe (short-termer for one year with SEND) has arrived and is getting settled and adjusted and well on his way learning Polish and getting involved in music ministry in the church which is an area we really, really have needed help. Also, we have felt the Lord leading us to begin a seeker type/discussion group for our English students. Ben would like to reach out by teaching the Bible so we’ll see what happens!
Prayer: Pray that indeed English students will want to be a part of this discussion group and that God would give Ben and Paul and others involved wisdom to know how to plan for this.
Pray also for our English Christmas parties we’ll be having this Friday, the 12th—4:00 for the children’s groups and 6:00 for the adults. We’ll be talking about Christmas and singing carols and decorating Christmas cookies. Pray for the Holy Spirit to speak and move!
We will also be starting the Scouts club again, this Saturday being the first meeting. This is geared to teach youth life skills, character building and Bible lessons. For now, it will be once a month. Pray for God’s leading and wisdom and for changed lives in the youths!
December 14-20
Praise: We’re so thankful for our Mother Church who encourages us and helps us. They let us “be on our own” but the Pastor and others are willing to help. Tomek, from the church, will be giving the message this Sunday.
Prayer: We’ve given parents and students from our English classes and others we know, a questionnaire asking them their interests for their child (Bible stories, crafts, music workshops, etc…) and for the parents themselves (cooking classes, ladies meetings, various workshops, etc..) and we are waiting now until they have been returned. We are praying that from these, we will know better what the needs and interests are and plan activities accordingly. Please pray for parents and kids to turn these sheets in and then for wisdom in how God wants us to use them.
December 21-27
Praise: For a school break for the kids and for English classes for two weeks. It’s nice to have a breather once in a while. J
Prayer: Pray for special times this year for each member of our church this Christmas. Our church body has grown so much closer these past several months and we have a burden for all to know Christ (for some who don’t know Him yet) and for all to know Him deeper.
December 28-January 3
Praise: God has given Paul wonderful opportunities these past weeks to share with his English conversation students what it means to be a Christian. We’re thankful they’re open and pray that they’ll continue to be.
Prayer: Daniel Trusiewicz, leader for the Baptist missions movement here in Poland, will be visiting us this Sunday, the 28th, and giving the sermon. Pray for the Lord to speak through Him and that we can mutually encourage each other. Pray for God to raise up many Polish leaders and missionaries. There are so few Polish pastors and missionaries.
