| Pastor Nobin Samson speaking at Church of Glory-Ciesyzn |
"Decisions determine destiny.
Your obedience to God is one of your greatest weapons." Nobin Samson
After a very busy week of setting up new children's ministries in Warsaw, I went straight into a conference. Pastor Marcin invited back to Poland, Pastor Nobin Samson from West London, England. He and his wife Kay pastor a church called "New Dawn," and he also travels the world preaching the message of revival. I had heard a lot of good feedback from many people who had heard him speak in November of 2014. I was very excited to see what he had to say, and make his acquaintance. While working in the office on children's ministry projects, we met and became good friends. He had attended bible college in Southern California, and of course we got along swimmingly. He understood my California culture, and my American jokes. Hey, it's not easy being an American girl living in a Polish world sometimes. There are just some jokes people in Europe don't get, it's nothing personal. For those of you who have lived abroad, you know what I'm talking about. So, anyways, it was refreshing to have a laugh, and talk In and Out Burger with Pastor Nobin. Plus, I taught him all the Kansas City slang he needed to know. So friends in Kansas City, this guy is ready for a visit. He's a good friend, and will fit into the World Revival Church family big time. Saturday I got to hear him speak, and instantly knew that this was a 'kingdom guy." Trust me, after listening to Steve Gray and other leaders in revival, you recognize the message of the Kingdom of God. Everything he said was spot on, and it was refreshing to hear someone preach 'that' message. This guy came in with "the broom," and cleaned house. He talked about honoring the pastors, getting God's house in order, the effects of rebellion, and staying under godly authority. You could feel that things were being clicked into place, and put in order. The more he spoke, the more peace came into the services. Many people were deeply touched by the words he spoke.
On Monday I had the privilege of traveling down with him to Ciesyzn, Poland where I had worked for over three months. It was good to be back in Cieszyn, and to see everyone. I got to see how this church not only maintained all that had been poured into it, but they raised the standard even more. They upgraded their hospitality room, added new chairs, everyone was on time, and in position. Ushers and greeters were ready, and the prayer cloth ladies were set. I was so proud of them, and how the whole church moved in the power of all. I had the privilege to sing on the worship team with Pastor Gosia, and ministered a bit during worship. The first night we had a group of about twenty from a city called Tarnów, plus other visitors from the surrounding area. The church was packed out, and there was an expectancy in the room. Pastor Nobin ended up preaching everything that the Ciesyzn group needed to hear, and we were all so amazed at what he was saying! This guy was a God send to what we have been trying to do since I got to Poland. He confirmed a lot of what we had been preaching, and validating the changes we had made. This message was not just for Ciesyzn, it was for the church in Poland! He publicly honored Pastor Slawek in various ways, and spoke very encouragingly to him. Tuesday night Patrycja translated for Pastor Nobin, and she did a fantastic job. Again Pastor Nobin hit that attitude of rebellion against authority, especially the people God has placed over our lives. It was a message that needed to be spoken, and you could feel the conviction in the air.
I'm so glad that I got to meet a new face on my adventure in God. Again it goes to show that God is raising up new leaders in this generation to carry revival. He is stirring people in their 20's, 30's, and 40's to step out, and be the new face on the front lines. He has people in reserve that haven't bowed their knee to a powerless gospel. This new friend and his wife are establishing in London a house in order, and a house of God's power. They are in the trenches, and are helping people around the world connect with the living God. I'm truly grateful for what he did at Pastor Marcin and Sławek's churches. He brought the message of the Kingdom of God, and promoted God's agenda. That has been a prayer in my heart to meet new faces on the front lines, people who are taking the Kingdom of God seriously. God definitely answered that prayer by sending a new friend in revival! I'm excited to what God does in his and his wife's ministry there in London, and am expecting only the best for their future!
