We learned for sure to say NO to many different things but we also learned to say YES for what is bringing JOY to Jesus' heart in the right time, place and situation.
We are experiencing change in our ministry toward learning how to listen to God's voice and work as family and living the Kingdom together generationally. You can ask how is it? It's not easy because we have been living as a church, fellowships for years separately in everything possible in our communities, churches, fellowships, groups etc....
We strongly believe that 2013 is a year to shift the routine and habits and start thinking differently, to see the young generation praying for the older, and older praying for younger; not only that but working together!
I will start for our hope for the 2013 mission adventure called STRONG TOGETHER, a generational mission to Bless and help and connect with the older generation in Poland who very often is "locked" in "Old folks houses". If you're reading this and feel a heart for the very often forgotten generation, please join us!
King's Kids Poland split for two different mission this year one is still continue to serve the local society in Ruda Slaska where this year we were able to get a valuable price "The Best Non Profit Organization in Ruda Slaska" award from the Mayor of Ruda Slaska and other one for Grzegorz Skrobarczyk as "Friend of Ruda Slaska" a prestige award for those who serve the city.
We are very Blessed and want to serve the city to change and transform people lives.
In Ruda Slaska there is Kids Ministry serving the needy kids and single mother ministry serving the single mothers and women who are living in a special CARE center (where in 2007 we were able to build Playground )
Ministry is lead by Aniela Skrobarczyk who serving the mom's with Her sister in law Basia who is becoming Christian :-) (this is another story )

The other part of king's Kids ministry is among the needy kids in the area of Orzegow where kk is located and is rethinking the focus to reach the youngest generation to build solid foundations in their lives. Sandra and Lukas with Sandra, Ania, Kamila, Paulina, Jakub, Grzegorz the volunteers trying to reach young generation through dance and 7/11 club. In the same time we are focusing to disciple more our volunteers to know Him Better and make Him known. It is a process so please pray for us !
This year we were in a big financial challenge but thanks to God and family Monroe's God Blessed us and help to covert some of the needs. Our prayer for the next year is that God will show HIS direction to their activity and ministry.

As some of you know Skrobarczyk's moved to Warsaw and it was God calling to serve there and build King's Kids Ministry around Poland.
For now, we are slowly building relationships with people around and visiting churches to share KKI values and principles. We sadly had to say No for some proposition to be involve in some ministries here. But we are happy to build first our priority FAMILY and then serve together.
In September we have been invited and involve to lead big kids program for kids in Krakow at Life Festival a Christian Crusade of David Hattaway.
We meet over 60 teachers from around South Poland and challenge them to do teaching creative way - it's been great and awesome to see how people's hearts changes and get on fire.
We have been able to impacted not only teachers but around 1000 kids who came with parents.
God was dwelling through the little hearts and bring them to HIS present, changing lives and impacted their thinking about God the Father.
Personally i never forget the sign on the cross who change me :
" I hated my mom so much , but I understood today that God Love me therefore I have to love my mom" or " God i need you to teach me how to not to lie"
It was great to see God filling up our small tent with His Glory ! There was more what happened but some of the story are really personal and Praise to the Lord that He was there!

The Festival of Live in our King's Kids Ministry tent
They start to hear and one of the many things we did was to learn serve the local neighbors by doing christams card and praying for them on the street.
Other things we did, we pray and received how to bless others and God show us write letters to really sick kids through some non profit organization. It was incredible what kids received and then their enthusiasm to sent it to two kids.
going to the neighbors with our classes during Bible hours
As King's Kids in Warsaw we are praying to serve and bring Joy to Father heart in the right time.

Our wishes for 2013 are on the cross like the wishes from the kids who put them with faith and hope :
God Bless you and thank you that you were with us the whole 2012 year !
It really blesses me to see what you guys are doing in Warsaw! I'll be praying for you and your ministry there.
ReplyDeletehello to you! Thank you very much and Thank you to our God who is giving us the strength to do :-) We are as well amazed by You coming here to Poland and leaving United States for long! God Bless You!
DeleteSome of the ministry are close to you because only 7,45 Miles from Katowice. Perhaps would you be interesting to serve with your gift to single mother house (approx 12 women) or Kids foster house ?
I bet they would love it to have you there at least once a week. if you would be interesting please pray and ask God if that would be something you can also add , if not just gently forget :-)
