After a very busy June, with multiple events/camps/workshops, etc., we’ve now entered a slower time, what a release! It is like with planes – they use full throttle power just for start, and then must switch into cruise, because no engine would survive full speed all the time. (This is what I still remember from the days I was piloting planes.) So now we rest a little and work “regular” hours, a great relief! I wish you, Peter, this same feeling!
Follow-up…
We are so thankful for the Lord’s guidance and provision! After the huge meetings in Wroclaw with evangelist, Nick Vujicic, our digital follow-up campaign proved to work much better than other systems; the new converts feel much more comfortable corresponding within our GELE platform than to immediately go to a church. It seems people are more relaxed about entering a place of worship after some months of growth. Initially 3,500 people responded to our system, then some 700 switched to a course developed by Nick himself. Many are now in regular touch with our e-coaches. Praise the Lord!
“Beginnings of faith with Nick Vujicic” – more than 700 people enrolled in this new course.

More and more training…
Also in June, two rounds of Total Discipleship training, with guests from USA who want to get involved in digital discipleship using our tools and experience. It is fantastic to see a team of four Colombians, (led by Juan Bravo), who were with us for training a year ago, now run a wonderful ministry in Spanish and are being overwhelmed by the response. The Lord is great!
