Dear Friends,
Warm greetings from colorful Poland!
Even as DeoLink continues to move forward at a fast pace, Bogusia and I took some time off to travel to Greece on a trip called “In the Footsteps of the Apostle Paul”. What a wonderful break it was! We traveled by bus some 2,500 km (1,560 miles) over nine days, from the mountainous north of this beautiful country all the way to the south, in the good company of 59 fellow believers. Our goal was to better understand the historical and cultural context of Paul’s writings.

My first conclusion was that Paul’s journeys must have been so much more difficult and challenging than ours! And that is without even mentioning the persecution he faced in almost every place he visited. He stayed in one place for as long as circumstances allowed, seeking to establish and strengthen the local believers. His vision was extraordinary: to reach the whole world for Christ!
And this raises a challenge for all believers today: Are we truly serious about this mission? How committed am I to sharing the Gospel personally, day after day? Am I ready to face ridicule and rejection?
Ultimately, it is all about making disciples, not just evangelizing, sowing seeds, or proclaiming the Gospel. Without living out Christ’s way of life every day and growing as His disciples, we risk becoming fruitless and deceiving ourselves.

Hundreds of churches in Poland start screening TheChosen Season 6
The Chosen outreach in Poland and Ukraine is in full swing as we prepare for the major launch of Season 6. The first six episodes will be available online, while the final episode will be shown in cinemas. Our strategy is to connect with as many churches as possible and encourage them to become actively involved. Many meetings are already taking place! Poland is a predominantly Catholic country, with numerous Catholic communities experiencing spiritual renewal. We are working with these groups to make the message of The Chosen available to literally millions of people. Please pray for this outreach.
Just last weekend we’ve had an amazing time together with our polish online ministry Coaches, friends and partners from Czech Republic, Ukraine and Lithuania. It was really special time, but more about it in the next update.
Last month, I wrote about the promising beginnings of Outback in Albania and Romania. We are praying that, in 2027, both countries will be able to organize their own Outback weekends, following the model we have developed in Poland based on US content.

By God’s grace, we have made it through a very, very difficult financial season. We continue to trust the Lord for the future. At the same time, as our sphere of influence grows, so do our costs. Technology needs to be updated, and more people need to be involved. We are praying for the Lord’s wisdom and guidance as we seek to meet these growing needs and responsibly sustain the work He has entrusted to us.
Friends, we are deeply grateful for all your help, prayers, and involvement. We thank God for you and commit you to our Lord, asking Him to guide you, protect you, and give you strength for everything He has called you to do.

Feedback from the participants of “How to Study the Bible?” course on the Szukając Boga platform:
“I’m glad I stuck with it and finished the course. It’s really helpful, even though at first the methods might seem too difficult and overwhelming.”
“An amazing course, the best one I’ve completed so far. And it’s all thanks to how challenging it is. It requires a great deal of interest and mental effort. But that’s exactly why it explains so many things about our life here on earth and our future life in our Father’s House.”
“Now I know how to study the Bible so that I get the most spiritual benefit from it. Until now, I never broke down the text I was reading into its basic parts, so I didn’t have the kind of insight into God’s Word that I have after taking this course.”
“I’ve discovered a new dimension of studying God’s Word more deeply and with greater insight.”
“This is a very valuable course, and I highly recommend it. It transformed my approach to reading God’s Word. We come to know God more fully and more deeply, and that changes us.”
