Poland Mission (Day 4)

Image hosting by Photobucket



This was on a Sunday. I got up early and drank coffee downstairs at the church. The church itself is a future conference center as well. Although unfinished it will someday be a great place to hold meetings a conferences. This is a way to bring in much needed money to the church for operation.

After breakfast and coffee we all headed back up to prepare for Sunday services.

The Service was great. They did translate from Polish to English so that we could hear the preaching service. The music was fully Polish. We may not have known the words in Polish but we knew the English ones. I sang my heart out in English. I thought to myself this is the way worship can be. We may have differences...but one Spirit.

Once services was over we split in pairs and headed to different people's houses for lunch. There I met a man name Micheal that was the worship leader. The house was small and the roads were dirt but the fellowship was sweet. I bet we were there for hours.

Then the crew all met back again at the church. We all put on work clothes and headed to down town Wisla. There was a tent that needed to be put up downtown. It was a large tent and it took alot of use to get up put up (seated 200). This tent would be used for a children's day camp.

A side note that I made was "Downtown Wisla reminds me of Gatlinburg, TN".

It was a big day so we all had dinner and headed to bed.

Hi Jamie,
Thanks for more Poland pics! Call me nuts, but I was curious as to how and why you chose to go to Poland? Do you think you'll ever return for another mission trip? Did you learn some of the language? It's really bizzare of me, but when I see Polish written out I get good goose bumps:) I know I'm soo weird! :)
Dobranoc:)

Well to answer your questions. 1st the Kentucky Baptist had what they call a link up. This just means that they will be doing mission work in that country for about 3 years. Our Church hass gone there before and fell in love with the people. Than after the link up moved to Brazil we decided to continue with the mission. We have adopted this church and continue to fund and help them in other ways. 2nd I learned little in the language department. Simply because I had a translator and got lazy.

Not only the language but the music was great too.!
