szpital

Hey so for you guys keeping up with the Roma community, Mhelena (she's wearing the red shirt in one of the pictures below) is in the hospital for heart problems. She's had them for a while now and was in the hospital about a year ago for the same problem. So it's not new, but we're all praying for her healing. The whole community is worried about her and it's been a difficult couple of weeks for the community. So please pray for faith to be strong through this and that our hope would continue to be put in Christ.


Today, us ladies are going to attempt to learn how to make hats from these loom things that were sent by a church in the states. We have the yarn. We have the looms. We have the instructions with pictures. So hopefully it'll be a successful trial run afternoon. Pictures to come.

Celebration

So after a sad day Saturday, we went to 2nd Baptist Sunday morning for a celebration. The Roma children had been asked to sing some songs and to dance after the service. It was a great time--great food, great dancing, great people.

Prayers are needed

Many of you have been praying for Ola & Andrzej Mirga and their son Zachariasz. Please keep praying for Ola & Andrzej as they grieve the loss of another child. Zachariasz went to be with Jesus Nov. 5, 2008 

I added a photo of Ola & family that was taken this past August at a Roma family camp. It was Ola & Zachariasz's first chair lift ride up and down a mountain.

Tomorrow is the funeral. Please pray God will be glorified by the faithfulness and love for the Lord that Ola & Andrzej show while going through a very difficult time in their lives.

up and running!!!

Hey so this is really exciting! We have a new blog and we're ready 2009! This year we'll be having several teams from the states coming to help with the Roma ministries in Poland. For starters, we're going to include some links for you to read through that will inform you about the Roma people, their origin and one of the current locations for ministry here in Poland.
