English Club Begins

Greeting from Poland! Our team is cooperating with the local Baptist church and pastor here in Olsztyn to offer an English Club. Learning to speak English is a high priority among young people here in Poland so we are both meeting a need and meeting new people! We are gathering for two hours, once a week for ten weeks with Poles who are interested in a conversational English class. The first hour is topic based English conversation on a variety of subjects, family, work, etc. The second hour is a Bible discussion/conversation time also on a variety of topics, who is Jesus, God’s love, is there life after death, etc. Tonight was our first meeting and we had five people come; one was a young man from our church and four others from Olsztyn. We had a great time getting to know each other and speaking English together. As we spend time in the next weeks before Christmas sharing the hope of Christ with these whom God already loves, pray that they will come to understand the real reason we celebrate this season. Pray that they will come to know this Christ who loves them! Pray also for us as we labor to see a life changing movement of God begin in NE Poland. From small beginnings come great things!
