The Return to Warsaw!

I'm back in Warsaw, and I'm busy all over again. On September 4th, I departed Cieszyn one more time, and took the train up to Warsaw. This is where I'll be until my mission in Poland has come to an end. I got to move into a new flat, and it happens to be the mini version of my Shalom Home. So, I've named my flat, the 'Shalom Flat.' Same rules apply as they do in Kansas City, MO, if you come over, expect to leave better than you came in. Shalom is always good, no matter what. This place where I get to stay has an old piano, furniture, and everything I'll need to live while I'm here. So it was great provision, and the perfect place for me to land. As usual, Pastor Marcin and his group have taken great care of me, and have made my transition smooth. I'm so thankful for my time in Cieszyn, and for all that God did down there. It was a good time of rest, and we accomplished many good things.

Gdansk, Poland

As soon as I got into town, I was out of town on holiday (vacation). Pastor Marcin felt that I needed some rest, and he sent me to the Baltic Sea. Also, I was asked frequently if I was resting, and for the record...I rested. That's hard for me, and I think a lot of my American friends would agree. Americans work hard, and usually don't get a lot of time off, let alone rest. Well, anyways, it was great timing, and I really enjoyed being at the sea. I got to see Gdansk, and it was  beautiful. After I did some research on the history of the city, I would like to go back. Poland has played a major role in world history, and unfortunately also paid a price during some of these events. The city is about 1,000 years old, and has been the stage for some of these history making events. It was the location where WW2 started, and also the Solidarity movement of the 1980's. Needless to say, if you come to Poland, you need to make a day trip to Gdansk. For the rest of my trip, I got to go spend some time at the beach, and I haven't done that in years. Growing up in California, going to the beach was a lifestyle for my family. The beaches of the Baltic were just as awesome as those in Santa Barbara County. There were plenty of seashells, and lots of beautiful scenery. Pastor Ula Podżorski came along with me, and we had a fantastic time.I taught her how to be Californian in a Polish world, and she taught me how to how to speak more Polish. I even got her to swim with me in the sea, and that was the big talk of the town when we got back to Warsaw. Yes, the sea was cold, but no colder than it is in California. It was really refreshing, and so much fun. Plus, we even got a little sun. Needless to say the two of us had a blast...and got some rest.

Coming back again to Warsaw, I have my work cut out for me. I'll be working again with their children's ministry, youth ministry, and more. On Monday, the school of leaders began its new semester, and I'll be one of the instructors. We had amazing worship led by Pastor Ula Matan, and an uplifting message from Pastor Marcin. I and some of the other teachers got to share a few words as well. We have a lot of students who have been pillars at church of Glory, so you're never too old in God to head back to bible college. I'm really excited for the students, because they will be different by the time December rolls around. I went through the same thing when I was at the World Revival School of Ministry. Just one semester changed me forever, and I expect that for them as well.  They are very hungry to go to a new level in God, and this is a perfect place for that to happen.

Coming up soon, my friend and ministerial colleague, Pastor/Prophet Nobin Samson will come back to Warsaw. In addition, we will have the pleasure of Dr. Peter Gammons joining us as well. Both of these amazing men of God will work together in a crusade, that Church of Glory will host. So we will be getting prepped for that event. Next week marks 9 months of me being in Poland, and I'm amazed at all that has been done. I love being apart of what God is doing here, and am looking forward to watching God's plan unfold.
