praying for Firefighters and Bus Drivers with kids and parents

Small Gedeons In Garwolin.

I thank God for giving me the opportunity of taking the missionary trip to Garwolin. I went there with two of my younger kids. And the day before leaving I was wondering what  have I done, haven’t I got enough work to do at home?

Despite of the confusion in my head, as well as in my house as my husband and the older son were leaving too, I decided to be faithful to the desire that appeared in my heart and be a part of the project “Garwolin”.

 This way I joined the group of young fighters, who didn’t fight against the blood and flesh but were pleading for this city. With love and sweets they carried the Word of Hope and Encouragement for the citizens. Seeing the commitment and openness of the children which they presented in their duty, I was encouraged to perform the same actions in my own city.

The citizens of Garwolin reacted in many different ways when receiving cookies with fragments from the Bible. I’ll quote one man: “People’s faces are the best when receiving a cookie. I hope that someday someone will give a testimony of how God used cookies and notes to change or even save someone’s life.”

We can’t see everything, but Heavens do and notes it down. God also let us to bless local firemen. My three-year-old son was taken by their openness and kindness and didn’t miss the opportunity of getting into every vehicle presented there. Although our trip didn’t take long it will still be memorable as it was an honor to go with You watching You serving others.

Coming back  home on Saturday evening I felt really encouraged and refreshed. I wish every Gedeon to rise up and trust The One who is more than able to fulfill much more than we ask for. God be praised in Heaven as on Earth.

bringing joy to His heart - testimony from the field from ordinary people - part 1

He is the Provider 

“For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.” (Philippians 2:13)

My missionary trip started in December….The moment I read the notice about trip to Cracow God moved my heart and gave me the will to be a part of this event. My daughter was also willing to go. And so the time of prayer and seeking God’s Will, the time of mutual discussions and preparatory meetings began for all of us. 

And God blessed us and showed His power!

When it turned out we haven’t got sufficient amount of money for our journey, the Lord took care of us moving hearts of others whose generosity was overwhelming. We received exactly as much money as we needed for two people’s travel. Two days before the departure Mary got ill. Her condition, from the human point of view, seemed we will have to stay. God was encouraging us to trust Him and not to be afraid (Ps 56:5), cling to Him and He will give strength for He is Almighty Only God (Syr 24:24). We received this words in worship and the Lord gave us an extraordinary peace. We knew everything is in His hands. At the same time many people prayed for our daughter. On the day of the journey Mary got out of bed as newborn, ready for her missionary trip. Those who stayed in prayer for Mary gave Glory to God. Our joy was enormous!

Three days in Cracow were very special for me. It was a time of walking with God, listening to His voice and being open to serving others. It was a wonderful experience watching our kids simply expressing what God speaks to them and what He expects from them. They were praying with open hearts and were involved completely in every assignment. 

Going into the streets to homeless people was an incredible experience for me, when God was piercing my heart and my eyes were full of tears, joy was mixed with compassion and God’s blessing was over us all. And this natural way in which children were giving food to homeless and communicating with them.  The Lord also showed me my daughter with His eyes and enabled me to see her sensitive, open to God heart. 

Everything that happened during that missionary trip in Cracow and earlier during preparations will stay in my heart for long. Relationships I made both with children and parents are full of joy and openness. I hope it’s just the beginning of missionary trips in my and my family’s life…..I leave the rest 

mali wzrostem, Wielcy sercem !

Gdy w styczniu zrodził się pomysł międzypokoleniowego wyjazdu misyjnego na Sycylię wyobrażałam sobie grupę dorosłych z kilkorgiem nastolatków. Potem dowiedziałam się, że przyjadą też małe dzieci i pomyślałam, że “jeśli grzeczne to może nie będą przeszkadzać”. Tymczasem to co zobaczyłam i czego doświadczyłam w czasie pobytu King’s Kids w Nicosii przeszło moje najśmielsze oczekiwania. Dzieci nie tylko nie były przeszkodą, ale były partnerami w służbie. Dzięki ekipie z Polski zrozumiałam, że naprawdę można służyć Bogu międzypokoleniowo. Dzieci i młodzież słuchały bożego głosu i służyły z radością i pokorą, robiąc pierniki, sprzątając ulice, czy też tańcząc na chwałę Pana. Jednego wieczoru, gdy przygotowywaliśmy się do ewangelizacji w Sperlinga, liderzy wyjazdu misyjnego dali mi niesamowity przykład jak być posłusznym Bogu w czasie sztormu. Mimo nacisków wielu osób by “natychmiast” zostawić Sperlinga i udać się do innego miasteczka, misjonarze King’s Kids wiernie trzymali sie tego co Bóg kazał im robić. Tego dnia naprawdę czuć było bożą obecność w czasie ewangelizacji. Mieszkańcy Sperlinga byli bardzo otwarci na słowo boże. Kilka tygodni temu miałam okazję wrócić do Sperlinga razem ze szwajcarskim chórem gospel. Sperlingesi podchodzili do mnie z radością i wypytywali o “tych Polaków co tu w lipcu byli”. Zresztą nie tylko oni pamiętają ekipę z Polski – nasza siedmioletnia wychowanka Maisa do tej pory pyta o niektóre dzieci i czeka kiedy przyjdą się z nią pobawić. Nie rozumie że Polska jest za daleko aby mogły one “wpaść do nas na basen”.

i was wrong, but is ok :-)

I'm built up!
Less than two months ago with the second school's graders from "Samuel" school we were watching pictures of children who need help and you can write letters to them, while we prayed God start speak to our kids to choose Kacper and write to him. Casper can not walk and suffers from muscular atrophy He is only 10 years old. Children in their prayers were raised to send him a Bible, but personally I thought to send him other books about animals. After talking with our beloved children, I learned that I do not understand ... that in the Bible are stories about animals and lions, and to prove it kids did bookmarks with animals and lions with regard to history in order to better search for Daniel Story and other! I have nothing else left to say then Amen and thank to Kasia - for tutoring them and going with His voice together with their children. I pray to God now for healing Casper that His Family can be moved and touched by His miracle !

help us serve in Sicily this summer - family mission trip

LOVE - PASS IT ON! FAMILY MISSION TRIP TO SICILY Families serving Jesus with their children together and Singles helping them in it. We want to experience this in our multi-generational missions outreach to Sicily. How often do we separate as generations, the parents busily serving Christ and the young people going their own ways? We want to learn to hear HIS voice together and find anew our calling as families together from HIM. We are 7 families from Krakow and Warsaw in Poland with kids from ages 4 to 16 and some singles, who will be going this summer for two weeks to Nicosia in the mountains of Sicily. In total we are 30 and we will be helping and serving there in two local Orphanages. Our wish is to also reach out to the neighborhood in this small town through friendship evangelism. “Christ’s Love - Pass It On” is our motto. Sicily has also a big problem with refugees who come over illegally by shipping boats from Africa with the hope to find a better life. They often try to escape war and famine. Our prayer is to find a way to enter the refugee camps and serve these lost and uprooted people. We are thankful for prayer and also every financial gift. This mission trip is primarily Polish families that have a  small monthly income and they are taking a big step of faith in God’s provision. But despite this challenge we feel that God has blessed Poland a lot and it is time to give this blessing further! Would you consider joining us in this mission financially or prayerfully? We are still in need of $3000 to be fully funded for our trip as a whole. Thank you for your role in sending Polish missionaries to the nations!
