How are you doing? How can we pray for you? We do not want to keep our mailing just a one-way communication.
By God’s grace, May was another excellent month for us! It was very busy, as before the usual summer slowdown – all conferences, meetings, workshops have been taking place. It is also an intense time of finishing our tasks on time… I am sure you experience a similar mode…
Six members of our team attended the European Leadership Forum, held here in our Wisla, which made our life much simpler by cutting on travel. As always, we enjoyed a lot of good teaching, general encouragement, as well as many networking opportunities – with 800 participants. For our young staff members it is often a new experience that will enrich their life forever!
On a similar note – two of our young team members went to Thailand for EMDC conference. They returned happy and encouraged, learning a lot but also contributing to the Body of Christ.
On May 11th, we held a first-ever vision-day for our major Polish donors and potential new donors. There are many things happening currently in our ministry and for most people it can be overwhelming. We’ve shared the vision and mission that drives these activities and gave an update on current blessings and challenges (you can check it at our website, www.deolink.org).
The main impression of our guests was: how is it possible that we have such a great team of 35 committed, loving the Lord, hard-working people. Yes, I am thanking God for it daily, as teams are the key to any good work. Throughout the years, almost nobody left our staff. We start training some really young team members, even when they are 16 years old, and our team mainly consists of millennials and generation Z. And we want to benefit from their creativity and help them grow, hence so much traveling.
Two weeks ago we had the first Outback family weekend this year, in a new place in the North of Poland. A new, enthusiastic team was responsible for it and again – we witnessed wonderful transformations in people’s lives! The last weekend – we’ve had two Outbacks simultaneously, and one more is starting tomorrow, as the demand is so significant.
Also in August, in another new location in the East of Poland we will have one for parents with kids and Outback University – just for students.
If you would like to start an Outback in your European country – please, let us know, as we became responsible for its development in Europe and want to move strong!
The Ukraine is still struggling, there is a fatigue effect taking over many people while hearing about it. But the facts are – every day many people continue to die there! As we have Ukrainians in our team, we hear firsthand stories from their friends and relatives. For instance, a brother, living in Charkov with his family, sleeping in a room with young daughter while his wife was in the second room with a newly born baby. The bomb separated them, his wife with the kid were killed… The Russian propaganda on social media is focused on US churches (who stand behind Ukraine) sharing many lies about persecutions of evangelicals by Ukrainian government, etc. It is all lies! It is under the Russian occupancy that churches are destroyed, and meetings are strictly forbidden. At the same time – over 36,000 of Ukrainians participated in our online evangelistic and discipleship courses, and over 2,100 – were already contacted by churches on the ground. Thank you, Lord!
Yes, Friends, we would be very thankful if you joined us in prayer for all those matters. We treasure your friendship!
God bless you!
Our projects are donor driven.
We're deeply thankful for your partnership.
