Pray for Poland


I am writing to ask you to pray for Poland.
Many good things have been happening here in many ways. But yesterday the President's plane crashed as he and a delegation of political, military and financial dignitaries all died.
The reason for their travel was to participate in a 70 years after the fact memorial of a massacre of thousands of Polish officers, soldiers and inteligencia at a place called Katyn. The first event took place during WW II at the hands of the Russian Red Army.
It created a vacuum of physical fathers and leaders. This second catastrophe will also impact the future political leadership of several parties and the nation.
Today there was 2 minutes of silence across the country at noon. All malls and corporate businesses are closed today as a 7 day national mourning began. Polish flags with a black streamer are seen on public transportation, buildings, homes and other places where people gather.

Please pray for:
Poland;
it's people to turn to God in this time of sorrow;
the future leaders will be men and women of integrity, moral and righteous,
and lastly, pray for the healing of many in this land.

Fishing for people in Przemysl, Poland






We all had a great time for 4 days in Przemysl, Poland. We were able to share the gospel and hand out tracts and copies of the Jesus film on DVD to many Roma and Polish people.
We also had daily times of prayer, reading scriptures related to leadership. It was a wonderful time for our 3 families to minister together each day. God opened several homes and hearts for us to return again with more of God's word.
The photo of our feet was a thought from Romans 10:15
We had a great time and we can't wait to go fishing again soon.
