Well, not really. But we are making a fundraising video featuring our vision for Poland and our hopes for the future. Tonight is the night we are filmed. I’m sure we’ll have the video for you to see on here or another simple avenue. This will be Emma’s chance to show the world what kind[…]
I was reading in Luke 16 this morning. It was about a parable Jesus gave. I’m not going to explain it here, you should really read it for yourself. But as I finished it I was feeling encouraged but didn’t know why. As I was journaling, I realized that recently I was feeling kinda guilty[…]
We just came back from the Polish Festival and boy are we exhausted. It was a lot of fun though. Tons of amazing food, singing, dancing and little trinkets that people want to clutter their houses with…it was nice. We invited a few friends with us and they loved it! They especially liked all the[…]
Today I was doing some work for a company called “Nova Wealth” – which isn’t odd or strange… it’s just that when you’ve been studying a language that uses “w” instead of “v” for the same sound, it kinda confuses the head. So I was kept typing “Nowa” instead of “Nova” – and “Nowa” in[…]
Another quick update, we are in the process of finalizing with Foursquare what our ministry in Poland will look like. We are excited and looking forward to the months ahead. We have a lot of faith steps to take, however we are so thankful for our church family, our friends, and all of the support[…]
Just a quick update from the training – check out some pictures on the Foursquare Missions‘ blog of our training time here in Los Angeles. It has been an incredible time here, amazing people, and we feel so blessed to be a part of such a great work, and a great family of people whose[…]
In April we will be going to Los Angeles to Foursquare Headquarters for a missionary training intensive. It is 10 straight days of all-day instruction, much like a college intensive. We have a number of reading materials to get through, such as: Ministering Cross-Culturally by Sherwood Lingenfelter and Marvin Mayers. Please take tests on pages 29[…]
It has been a few months since we returned from our last mission in Poland in October, 2008. It was a learning experience that we will never forget. From the exhausting flights and layovers to sickness and injury then to miraculous healing and building of new relationships we gained a new desire for the Nation[…]
This new year marks the beginning of a very important phase in our ministry. Beginning this month we begin our long-term mission campaign! Our church council and missions team have cleared the way to send us as long term missionaries to Kraków, Poland. From this point forward we’ll be seeking at least 100 donors to[…]
So I’m finally able to relax a bit, nothing is planned for tonight and I’ve done enough thinking and processing about our trip that I can finally put most of it into words. In general I feel good about it, we spent significant time with people, creating new relationships, building up our existing ones, and ministering[…]
Don’t have time to talk much, but we’ve arrived safely, pictures will be coming soon, haven’t had much time to be online so far. Talk more soon!
So, God is truly a LAST minute God, I know he always has been, and that wont’ be changing it looks like. We’ve gone from, not sure if Corey and Jenise will be coming to their coming FOR SURE. In the past two hours over $950 has been secured! PRAISE JESUS! From three different donors,[…]
So we are in a mad dash to get our last two tickets ASAP, for really cheap. We’re on the search for 2 adult tickets from PDX (Portland) to KRK (Kraków). This is for Corey and Jenise, our dear friends who are in our small group. We have about $1400, which is about the price[…]
MSNBC’s World Blog has an interesting entry up about the Polish people who live in the city that will host the US missile shield. There’s a good section about the history of Poland, gives a general picture of what the “mood” of the nation is.
I hope this finds you well. This is a bit longer than I know most of you will read, but I’ll throw it out there anyway, because I believe God will move on this. A while back I asked some Polish friends of ours, this question “How do you think we could effectively[…]
Some very interesting news out of Poland, this has been years in the making, but the quickness in light of the Georgia fiasco is interesting. Check it out: U.S. and Poland Set Missile Deal – NYTimes.com. This could make for a fairly interesting future for Alexis and I, I can’t help but to think about[…]
As everyone is aware airline prices have been skyrocketing, and this has affected our budget for our trip in October to Poland. We have always had a contingency built into our budget, but now we are in need of increasing that. Right now our trip has increased from $1,500 a person to $1,800 and each[…]
Our passions that we would like to bring to the younger generation revolve around small group ministry. We have been using John and Sonja Decker’s book “Holy Spirit Empowered Small Groups” in our own home group, and have seen amazing results with our group going and growing deeper in ways that un-hide our shame and[…]
