Summer Happenings in Cieszyn

I wanted to give a quick update on life in Cieszyn, and how things are going in the church here. The church in Cieszyn is going to a very deep place in God, and it came with a price tag. They have been constantly digging in for more of God, and allowing themselves to change. In the past two weeks, I personally have been refreshed attending their services, and have seen God demonstrate his power. The worship has gone to a whole new level, and it is Pastor Gosia who is leading the way. God is doing something in this small Polish church, it is the beginnings of revival. Our next big step though is going to be outreach, and increase in every level possible. We are looking at getting into a new building shortly, and that will bring much needed change. People will be able to find the church more easily, and there will be room for growth. No more lack, no more smallness, no more limits, no more holding back. Our word and theme for the summer is INCREASE. We are believing for increase in  every level of our lives, and that is a different way of thinking here in Poland. Because of what happened in their history, and an overall defeat mentality, increase is a hard word to grasp sometimes. Fortunately that is God's will and desire not only for this church, but for the people of Poland. He wants to increase them, and raise up a new generation that walks in the fullness of prosperity.

In our situation of getting a new building, it is a faith move. Thankfully we have a faithful God who is our supplier, so depending on ourselves will not be enough. We are to depend on God, trust Him, and keep pressing forward. We are expecting more people to come, and we are making preparations. I'm excited to say that our Facebook fan page has received a lot of continual traffic, and that has been a good to get the word out about our church here. Other Churches of Glory and similar groups [associated with Church of Glory] are doing the same, and it is helping to build community amongst us. These are exciting times in Poland, because God's Kingdom is finally able to be established in the way He wants it. It's starting like a mustard seed, but eventually it will take over everything. His Kingdom knows no end, and the kingdom of darkness is fading daily in this land.

In other news HUA, one of Pastor Kathy Gray's books is currently being translated into Polish, along with the work book that accompanies it. Plans are already being made to start the first HUA women's group this September. Pastor Gosia and some of her ladies will be leading that, and they won't be the same when it is done. I'm hoping to do a similar group up in Warsaw, with Pastor Marcin's permission. I want to do it, because it builds and strengthen's the people. It will revolutionize them, and mobilize them to a higher calling. Another project I have in the works is re-recording Kids Ablaze! Hearts on Fire in Polish!!! So, I'll be working on finishing the rest of the translations for that CD, and getting the pieces in place for that recording. I can't wait to see the looks on the faces of the kids at World Revival Church when they hear their CD in Polish!

This weekend I head up to Warsaw for another youth meeting, and I'm expecting God to move in a very powerful way. I really care about these youth, and know that God has something special in store for each of them. Please join me in praying for them, and for their service on Saturday!
