Dear Friends,
Warm greetings and blessings from Wisła, Poland!
A beautiful winter in Poland, and in many other countries this year. Good to remember – the Lord has also climate under control!
Time is passing so quickly! January has been a very full and productive month for us. We spent considerable time analyzing our nine ministries — four digital and five “hybrid” — with the goal of fine-tuning our operations and focusing on what brings the strongest spiritual fruit.
Even with a team of 40 staff members, our capacity is limited, so choosing the right priorities is essential. At the same time, the process has been deeply joyful — dreaming together and exploring how the newest technological developments can help us expand our reach for the Gospel.
After one of our brainstorming and planning sessions
As I mentioned previously, Filip, together with a group of friends from the 153 Collective, has been working on a standardized methodology for evaluating spiritual outcomes. Should we measure at all? And if so, why? We believe it helps us discern what is truly effective and scalable today, so that we can more faithfully fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19). Even the apostles counted the fish Jesus prepared for them — 153!
Filip invested several late nights implementing this measurement framework across our ministries. We now have some initial data, and it is very encouraging. Still, we all know it is not ultimately about numbers, but about individual people crossing the threshold of eternity here on earth — receiving eternal life. And every month, hundreds are doing just that. Thank You, Lord!
Our involvement with Artificial Intelligence is approached carefully and thoughtfully. Only real people connect directly with seekers. However, AI tools — such as our recently developed COMPENDI — serve as e-coach assistants, placing trusted knowledge from past years (spoken messages, books, films, music) into the hands of our coaches in a practical, accessible way. In this sense, valuable resources from the past are receiving new life.
Our Ukrainian internet outreach, “Nadija” (“Hope for Ukraine”), continues to receive an extraordinary response. In the midst of the terrible reality of war, many are turning to God. More than 70,000 people have enrolled in our Ukrainian discipleship courses to date. Thank You, Jesus!
Our other ministries are also thriving. We are praying and planning for eight Outback Poland weekends this year, in three or four locations. At the same time, new sites in Lithuania and Slovakia are being launched, which keeps our team very busy.

We are also grateful for the many guests who visit us. We value these times deeply — praying together and, at times, inspiring one another toward full commitment to the mission of evangelism.

We continue to pray for financial provision as well. As you can imagine, everything requires resources, and even our extensive IT infrastructure needs constant updates. The challenge is real, but I still hold onto a phrase that has encouraged me for years: “God pays for what He orders.”
Friends, thank you so much for standing with us — for your encouragement, your prayers, and your generous support. We truly treasure it. And please remember, you are always warmly welcome with us!
With gratitude and warm regards,

Recent Testimonies
Feedback form the participants of “How to Deal with Fear and Anxiety” course on the Nadiya.in.ua platform:
“This course was a true blessing for me. I rediscovered the greatness of God’s love and understood that salvation is not the result of my own efforts, but a gift from God through faith in Jesus Christ. The material was accessible and clear, yet very profound. What was especially valuable was that each chapter encouraged me not only to listen, but to apply these truths in everyday life. It helped me devote more time to prayer, turn to God in difficult moments, and learn to trust Him even in small matters.”
“A really very good course. I had a panic attack before I started reading, but after the course I felt a bit calmer.”
“The course truly helped me look at my relationship with God from a new perspective, let go of fear, and trust Him more.”
“I really appreciated that fear is discussed both in its physical and spiritual dimensions. Most importantly, there is the possibility of contact with a mentor — someone who has already gone through something similar, understands you, sincerely empathizes, and helps you get through a difficult period in life.”
“I realized that you have to fight your fears, not just sit and watch as fear destroys your life. Many fears have accumulated in my life, and now they prevent me from moving forward. But now I know that when the Lord is in my life, I have more strength to overcome fear.”
