Poland trip report 06

After a good journey and very good fellowship with Andrzej and Yola we were driven to Sochaczew. The church in this area is made of some precious people who have tasted very hard times in life. Several youngsters were also in attendance. They seemed to appreciate the teaching and it was good to pray for each one who had gathered. The pastor Swavec has become a good friend and he is a brave pioneer.

Warsaw.

It was great to discover Jelco and Leila had arrived from Bosnia and Wednesday was a quiet day seeing a bit of Warsaw and enjoying a very good lunch with Andrzej, Yola, Leila and Jelco.

The evening we visited Andrzej Bralewski and his church in Warsaw. It was great to see how this church had grown and their welcome was very warm.

Thursday

In Warsaw was very exciting as the UK group all arrived then the Romanians and by the evening time the Bulgarians also. We began to pray for one another and although many different languages were spoken the language of prayer superseded them all.

The day ended with a BBQ, which was very useful as it all helped knit together the people of God.

Friday
We continued in prayer then travelled by train to Kolo. Julian was there to meet us and we went to his church and met three precious Moldavian brothers Uree, Slavic and John. We prayed for them then went to a restaurant for a meal together.

The sense of oneness was extraordinary. The Bulgarian could not speak English or Polish but could speak Romanian. The group catered for all with Russian also being spoken.

A meeting followed a session on 2 Timothy 4 with members of Julian’s church. Again it was great to see how the ministry has grown. Extensive times of prayer for people was possible as we sought to draw near to God.

Saturday

Pastors from 8 churches gathered on a day when 7 nations were represented. Teaching on the Fatherhood of God was well received interspersed with times of prayer for each of the nations represented. Again having a good sized team meant that all who needed prayer for a breakthrough in understanding the fatherhood of God was possible

Sunday
Ministry took place by all team members in different churches and all the reports were encouraging. The sense of freedom for all was great and rising faith for a real breakthrough for the body of Christ in Poland is evident.

For Elaine and I it was great to be together in ministry abroad and it was good to see wives from the different countries relating so well with Elaine.

We had a salutary visit to Chelmno an extermination camp near Kolo.The Germans had destroyed a great deal but not all and the image of Poland being Hitler’s graveyard took on a fresh meaning. I long to hear of revival in Poland so many have perished how good it will be to hear of many being saved through trusting in the precious blood of Jesus.

         

God willing we are beginning to look at a conference next year in June.
