The heart of why we came to Poland
Poland 2007 June 25th, 2007 by AnnaWe have been blessed by the people of New Hope Fellowship and others in the community. They have come and worked with us on the building around their job schedules, given us a tour of their city, prepared a fabulous Polish meal for us, and welcomed us to participate in the Sunday morning service.
Each day one or two of the church members have come and worked along side us. It is great to hear their “dziekuje” (thank you) throughout the day!
On Thursday afternoon two of the young people from the church took us on a walking tour around the historic parts of the city. As we dodged raindrops around the town, we took opportunities to see a little of the insides of the buildings during the showers…
Saturday, a couple who are not part of the fellowship here (but have contact with some of the missionaries in the area) came to prepare a full Polish meal for us. They spent hours in the kitchen preparing a fabulous meal!
Sunday morning, our second one here, members of our team from Chicago participated with the worship team and Tom (the pastor from Chicago) preached the sermon. This was also the end of the Sunday School year for the church here so the children presented a skit and the Burnell’s two boys each played a special piano piece.
It seems amazing to think that our time here is over half gone. I wish we had more time to get to know these precious people and share in their ministry by assisting with the work on their building.
