Dear Pastor, Missions chairman and committee members and prayer warriors,
We thank you so much for praying in regards to our support needs. We are seeing God do amazing things. Just about three weeks ago we were $2100.00 per month (period of 24 months) short of reaching the 100% mark. Today God has brought this amount down to a monthly deficit of $1128.96 (over a period of 24 months). Let’s praise God together for His faithfulness. Amen! There have been churches who have by faith raised their budgets to be able to give more, some have joined our team for the very first time and some have indicated they would like to give more. Praise God!!
We would still like to ask though that our prayer request of reaching the 100% mark before August 29th be announced before your churches tomorrow, at Bible studies and small groups and through the prayer chains that some of you have. This prayer request is going out to 17 churches from Baltimore to Alaska. Let’s pray together and see what God is going to do!
Blessings,
Paul, Carlene
Andrew, Aaron and Alaina

Eagers' Expressions
Dear Friends and partners in the ministry,
Greetings from Elkhart, Indiana! Thank you so much for praying and for those that give, thank you so much for giving. God is answering your prayers - see the postcard below. J
We would like to once again ask that you pray concerning our support needs. August 29th is just around the corner and we still have a monthly need of $1603.33. We are required by our Mission to have 100% of our support pledged before we head back to Poland.
Next week if we see that the finances are just not coming in we will have to start making decisions as to what we are going to be doing in regards to our children and their schooling. The Polish schools start in September. We will also be having to make some decisions which touch directly on the Lubin church plant and it’s language school and coffee house ministry.
This postcard will be going out to apx. 500 people nationwide. Please pray that God would fling open the banks of heaven and the amount of $1603.33 per month needed will be taken down to a 0 balance. Let’s see what God can do.
Thank you again and blessings,
Paul, Carlene
Andrew, Aaron and Alaina

Praying for a miracle
A few days ago a prayer warrior sent us an email with the following:
" We want you to know that we are PPP people - Persistently Praying for Poland. We thank the Lord for the few who have or are responding to ministry in Poland, both Nationals and missionaries. The "rain drops" have started, the "showers" will come as we plead Poland's case before the Lord. "
We along with our praying friends truly believe that the "rain drops" have started, and the "showers" will come very soon. Because of the prayers of God's people we are seeing a country start to open up to the Gospel.
Carlene and I and our three children are looking very much forward to joining our team once again on the front line in the town of Lubin.
The departure date (August 29) that we set is coming up very quickly. We are all set to go except for one problem. In the previous post we mentioned our monthly deficit of $2100.00 per month. We want to tell you that God has blessed and is answering prayers. There are a few new people that have joined our team, a few that have increased their monthly giving and some who have given one time gifts. God has blessed and we now have $1653,33 per month left to go.
This is wonderful news except we won't be able to go until the $1653,33 per month figure is down to 0.
Please pray for a miracle.
If you are intrested in Poland and the work that we do please contact us at 574.343.4177 or pceager@orange.pl.
If you are intrested in joining our team financially, please fill in the following form and send it Kathy Cole at SEND International (KCole@send.org). Please also cc us in the process so that we can see your intention. Thank you!

“God is on the move ...” Warren Janzen
The quote, “God is on the move ...” is something that we heard over and over again as we attended the annual SEND Family Conference. It was so exciting as we heard how God is working throughout the whole world. There is absolutely nothing that can stand in God’s way. Praise God and AMEN!
As we listened it brought us back to Lubin, Poland where over the last three years God has given us the opportunity to help build His church in a town of 90,000 with almost no evangelical witness. We have seen God move where a new church has been planted with regular times for worship and fellowship. For outreach, it has a coffee house and language school ministry, kids and scouting club, and many other ministries in the Lubin community. We’ve seen Bible studies started, a young man give his life to Christ, a man wanting to be baptized, a lady who is close to giving her heart to God, a lady who has relearned how to play the guitar in order to play
during worship time and many other God-moving things.
We are so excited and desire so much to get back and join God again in the work that He has started. We are scheduled to go back to Poland on August 29 (in a month!) but we have a challenge that we would like to share with you.
Finances: $2100 more a month needs to be raised (due largely to the devaluation of the dollar).
The issues we are facing:
1. The kids start school September 1st - If we stay it will be difficult for them to catch up in the local schools.
2. The ministry is at a critical time as a foundation has been laid and we believe God wants us to move ahead with more Bible studies with those that we know in the community.
3. Our Regional Impact Team is in transition with some coming and some going - As team leaders we would like to help the team transition through this period.
4. The language school “Logos” starts the middle of September. There will be a lack of teachers.
As you read our letter, please take some time right now and ask God if He would like for you to
join Him as He moves in Lubin, Poland. For those who already donate - PLEASE PRAY.
*Because of the time factor please let us know of your intention asap by email (pceager@orange.pl) or phone: 574.343.4177. Thank you!

"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
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,

May 18-24Praise: 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.

Eager Prayer Update
March 16-22
Praise: Praise for the salvation of Bartek!!! He has regularly been coming to the Coffee House since it’s been open. He also was regularly asked, or made to, leave due to his behavior. Now, he’s a different person, helping out in church and in the Coffee House. Discipleship is essential but he has understood what it means to have a personal relationship with Christ!
Prayer: Pray for his growth and understanding of what it means to live fully for Christ. Pray for others to understand also and understand their need for a Savior and to give their lives to Him. Please pray this specifically for the youth who come to the Coffee House, English students, parents of English students, kids’ school teachers, Carlene’s guitar teacher, Paul’s fitness club trainer, our friends who are not believers and all the contacts we have in the community.
March 23-29
Praise: Praise for the many creative ways God uses to reach out to others.
Prayer: Louise and Andrea have begun a “Recipe Exchange” Saturday once a month at the Coffee House. One hope in doing this is to draw more adults to the Coffee House. Praise for the good turnout last month and for 4 new people who came—even some came from the English classes. Two students from Pat’s class want to be involved and share their recipes this month! The next “Recipe Exchange class” will be this Saturday, the 5th. Pray for the Lord to use these Saturdays to touch lives and bring spiritual fruit.
March 30-April 5
Praise: Praise for the English students (around 80) who have been coming since September. Several of them have shown an interest in having a seeker Bible study in English. Pat has a study from the Navigators which is called People Who Met Jesus.
Prayer: The interest is there but they have yet to take the next step and come on Thursdays at 4:30. Please pray that they’ll come.
It can be so overwhelming at times with the amount of potential students and those wanting conversations and individual lessons. This is one of those “good” problems because we are becoming more and more known in the community and there are the opportunities to meet more people and have contact with them, but on the other hand, we need wisdom when to say “yes” and also “no”. Please pray for daily wisdom.
We’re thankful for relationships with some of the local schools. As in the last couple of years, we will be hosting a dictation competition with junior high and high school students. This will be on Friday, the 4th. Pray that the Lord would use this somehow in the students’ lives and the teachers with whom we will be relating. Pray that some of the students would be interested in coming to the Coffee House.
April 6-12
Praise: We’ll be in the States this summer!!! We’re looking forward to being on home service this summer from the end of May to the end of August. It’ll be a quickie but we’re so glad to be able to be back.
Prayer: Pray for all the many details to fall into place smoothly before we leave. The kids will be leaving before school is finished—about 3 ½ weeks earlier. We are planning our visits and we know we have many miles to cover in a short time. There’s so much to pray for actually that it’s a lot to list here, so please just pray for all the details that go into preparing and planning for a home service both on this side of the ocean and the other! J We also have a considerable amount to raise in monthly support before we can come back to Poland. The children start school September 1st so we’d like to be able to come back at our targeted returning date. Please be praying for this need.
April 13-19
Praise: Praise for gospel music and every possible means to reach others for Christ!
Prayer: As we had last year, we will be hosting a Gospel Choir workshop. A group from another city comes in and teaches intensively during the weekend how to sing the Gospel songs and then everyone who takes part gives a concert Sunday evening. Please pray for people to be interested in participating, the Holy Spirit to speak through the words in the songs, all the logistics to fall into place, good health for all involved, etc… The workshop will be from the 18th-20th. We are praying that there will be a group from the choir interested in having a Bible study.
April 20-26
Praise: Praise for our team—Bogusia and Zbyszek Hanaczewscy, Pat Weathersbee, Andrea Hagen, and Louise Eisenhauer. Praise for another family coming—Bruce and Linda, Bethany and AJ Thomas. They are coming with the mission World Venture and will be helping the church plant through teaching English.
Prayer: Pray for their preparation and support raising that the Lord would bring them here in His perfect timing. Pray for continued unity among our team and within the church. When we plan activities, we try to make the whole church aware and plan ways for their involvement. We’re also seriously looking into ways to have our own church building instead of paying rent. We want to be of one mind in this. Also, please continue praying for our church, for those who preach, as we begin to think about having a Pastor and who that will be, growth, and having a clear vision, wisdom and guidance for the church leaders.
April 27-May 3
Praise: Praise for the children’s friends! They’ve been able to make good friends this year and have been able to regularly play together after school.
Prayer: After 7 ½ years in Poland, we’re still requesting prayer for our language ability. Yes, we are daily communicating and understanding, but we will be learners for as long as we are here. The kids are doing well in their language ability but they will also be constantly learning and developing their vocabulary. Pray for continued growth and ability.
Blessings,
Paul, Carlene
Andrew, Aaron and Alaina
Praise: Praise for the salvation of Bartek!!! He has regularly been coming to the Coffee House since it’s been open. He also was regularly asked, or made to, leave due to his behavior. Now, he’s a different person, helping out in church and in the Coffee House. Discipleship is essential but he has understood what it means to have a personal relationship with Christ!
Prayer: Pray for his growth and understanding of what it means to live fully for Christ. Pray for others to understand also and understand their need for a Savior and to give their lives to Him. Please pray this specifically for the youth who come to the Coffee House, English students, parents of English students, kids’ school teachers, Carlene’s guitar teacher, Paul’s fitness club trainer, our friends who are not believers and all the contacts we have in the community.
March 23-29
Praise: Praise for the many creative ways God uses to reach out to others.
Prayer: Louise and Andrea have begun a “Recipe Exchange” Saturday once a month at the Coffee House. One hope in doing this is to draw more adults to the Coffee House. Praise for the good turnout last month and for 4 new people who came—even some came from the English classes. Two students from Pat’s class want to be involved and share their recipes this month! The next “Recipe Exchange class” will be this Saturday, the 5th. Pray for the Lord to use these Saturdays to touch lives and bring spiritual fruit.
