Greetings Dear Brothers and Sisters!

Let me tell you about my time spent

in Radom (Poland) recently!

The evening I arrived Bob and Vera Hageman were at the train station to meet me

and bring me to their home. Just 20 minutes later we had

a nice meeting with a young family from Warsaw!


That Friday I was in a Bible study of English speaking Poles, both believers and

non-believers where we had a great time discovering truths from God's word together!

On Sunday I had the privilege to be a part of the worship team.

It was a great and powerful time of praising our Lord together!

We also heard Pastor Titus share from God's word and

again I was privileged to give my testimony near the end of the service.

Praise God for a great morning of worship and praise in God's house!

That evening I got to be a part of ministry to alcoholics.

There were about 50 people there, we served tea, coffee and sandwiches,

which the ministry team had prepared earlier that afternoon.

We had opportunity to talk with them and I also had a chance

to sing some songs in Russian and Ukrainian, they seemed to really enjoy this!

We also invited them to come on Tuesday night to one other program.

During the week I also met with the Youth Pastor and his family,

while also visiting Steve Snyder's home and meeting his family as well,

sharing in fellowship with both these families.

On Tuesday we again met for ministry to Alcoholics, this night about 25 came

and enjoyed some hot soup, coffee and chips. Pastor also shared a message

from God's word. After they asked me and one other fellow musician (Marek)

to play songs for them and so we did, doing songs in Polish, Russian and Ukrainian.

I felt truly blessed to serve with these wonderful friends,

while serving the people of Poland as well.

Please pray for:

-That the ministry in Radom would grow and touch people’s hearts;

-Safe trip to Jelenia Gora from Radom with Hageman’s;

-Family camp in Jelenia Gora, Karpacz from 24-31 of July;

-Raising support for family camp in Olsztyn from 31 of July

MISSION TRIP TO POLAND (krakow)

Greetings from Poland, my dear friends and partners!

I’m happy that I can share with you about all the blessings for God’s glory!

Ben, Burgi, their daughter Elisa Oehler-Todradze, and of course grandson Damian

welcomed me in their home in Krakow last Saturday!

That was an interesting meeting – a mix of very different cultures!

Ukrainian, German, Georgian and Polish!

This Sunday I was in the Second Baptist church of Krakow

sharing a short testimony about God’s work in my life.

I could encourage the brothers and sisters

to really be a part of God’s Kingdom, not just to try to escape from God’s anger,

but to participate in His great plan!

After the Sunday service I got invited for picnic by two pastors and their families!

It was a great time to get introduced to Polish culture and kitchen!

During the last four days I have been staying in the church

of the First Baptist Congregation,

The former head-quarter of the German SS in Krakow!

That’s an interesting house with more than 100 years of history.

Not far from there is the Museum of Krakow

that documents all the bad things that happened here during the time

of occupation by Germans and later Russians.

In Krakow you can find many historical places of memory.

Typical street in the center of Krakow with horses and citizens!

And here an interesting place in the middle of town,

looks like a bus stop where you can sit, listen to classical music,

get some rest like this old man and recharge the battery of your soul!

Please pray for:

-Outreach in street ministry with an American team in Radom;

-Family camp from July 24 in Gorzow-Wielkopolski;

-Mission trip to Italy-Milan in the beginning of August;

-God’s wisdom and strength in ministry!
