Wojtek tells movingly of an important relationship in his life :
Father-figure

Wojtek gives us a snapshot of his work in “Pastors2Pastors” :

We are excited to see how our investment in the pastors results in a growing number of ministry opportunities. We already have ten evangelical churches/organizations signed up to work with us in the Autumn on different workshops, training programs and conferences.

One of the churches is a Baptist Church in Kodz led by Pastor Leszek Wakula (who is part of our P2P network) where we initiated a discipleship training conference. We called it, “Living with Passion,” and it focuses on discovering one’s passion and calling, building healthy relationships and using a biblical model for disciple making. This new conference went very well and we will return to Kodz this Autumn. After the daily workshop, Pastor Leszek said, “This is exactly what we needed!” Praise the Lord! We feel so blessed to be a part of discipleship making, creating communities of trust and grace.

Pastors2Pastors is based on relationships. This means that we share the needs with one another, pray for one another and seek to help in practical ways.

Next week, we will be involved in a project which will meet the needs of a pastoral family. In partnership with a church team from Field Street Baptist Church (Cleburne, TX), we will help Pastor Bogdan Zaborowski and his family by working on their home. There is an urgency in finishing the project, as Bogdan’s wife, Magda, is pregnant. The work needs to be complete before the new baby arrives. Please pray that the Lord will provide all necessary resources to be able to finish on time.

We are so grateful for your faithful support for our ministry!

P2P Update July-Oct2014

Wojtek and Agnieszka were able to have some family holiday time in the States this Summer, as well as some very productive times for their ministry.
Now they are in the midst of a busy season in Poland with lots of conferences etc coming up – “This month was also marked by preparation for the next training conference for the Centre of Education for Leaders (CEL) which is a mentoring and coaching programme within the Baptist Union of Poland. This time we will focus on training leaders how to engage with contemporary culture. We are really looking forward to that time!” – that particular conference is taking place this weekend, Nov 8th-11th, so let’s pray for them all then.

They have also started their own blog! By reading their newsletter, above, you will find a link to sign up to receive their news whenever they post it.

P2P Update January-March 2014
This newsletter from Wojtek and Agnieszka describes the many and varied ways in which they are being used by God in the building-up of His church in Poland. As one example of their involvement, Wojtek writes :

We continue pursuing a vision of a national conference for leaders with a mission that would become a platform for both pastoral and marketplace leaders. We met as a core team in Warsaw and set some priorities and are now in the process of preparation for the first event just for the core leaders which is scheduled for April 25-27, 2014 where we will be responsible for leading Carpe Deo diem workshops for leaders.”
