Moving Soon!

Hi! I just wanted to update the blog on what's going on with my upcoming move to Rzeszow.

This last week I was able to do some painting and set-up in my new apartment. For the next two weeks, I'll be packing up my apartment in Lublin, painting, cleaning, and saying goodbye to friends...but not goodbyes for long I hope, I'm sure I'll visit Lublin whenever possible. I'm excited and nervous as I think about the big move coming up, but am grateful to God for the many blessings He has provided over the last several weeks.

Please praise Him with me for:
work already accomplished in my Rzeszow apartment
good times spent with friends in Lublin
for providing a free place for me to stay when I have to go to London in June to fulfill visa requirements
help with painting, filling out documents to turn off utilities, and for offers of help from many friends in Lublin in preparation for the move

Please pray:
that I will work hard and get things done quickly in Lublin
that I will be able to spend sweet times of fellowship with friends in Lublin and that I will be able to return often to continue the relationships that God has blessed me with
that my trip to London will go smoothly and that I'll get the stamps on my passport that I need
that the Lord will guide me to the ministries He has planned for me in Rzeszow

Thanks!

Team Leaders' Retreat

Last night we just got back from the team leaders' retreat. It was a very profitable time and the kids had a really great time with their friends. Here is a group picture of the team leaders in our area.

Pastors' Conference

Tomorrow I leave for the pastors' conference with Adam, our Polish partner. Please pray for us as we travel and that it would be a profitable time for us. In addition to this please pray that many pastors would come and that it would be a good time to network with the other pastors.

Moving to Rzeszow

Hi!

This is my first blog ever!

I wanted to post something to express my excitement about moving to Rzeszow. I'll be there at the end of May, and although I'm a bit nervous about all of the details of the move, saying goodbye to friends in Lublin, etc. I'm joyful over the Lord's leading and what He will have for us as a team.

I've been blessed in the last several weeks in many ways. Unexpectedly, I was given the keys to my NEW apartment in Rzeszow on Saturday and told that I can begin painting, working on the apartment, and moving things in before I begin living there...and I won't have to pay rent until June. My landlords are also going to replace the old windows in the apartment. I am grateful to have Christian landlords and for the warmth and hospitality they have shown me already!

When I was in town over this past weekend, we all got to spend more time with new friends, Kazimierz and Ula. They played their guitars for us and we had a great time together. We're hoping to meet with them and others more often starting this summer and are hoping that this will turn into something more...perhaps a home group or Bible study. Please pray for these two friends!

I'm looking forward to moving to Rzeszow. Please pray that all of the details of the move won't be too stressful, that I'll be able to spend good time with friends in Lublin before I leave, that the transition will be a quick one, and that the Lord will show where He will have me serve once I move. Please also pray for a Gospel choir coming to Rzeszow in June and an English camp that will take place in late July.

Thanks for praying4Rzeszow!
