March / April 2024 Update

Henryk Król Co-Founder, President DeoLink

Dear Friends,

So many things have happened in the last weeks, which kept me from writing this UPDATE earlier. Now we are already at the beginning of April, so we decided to write this time again a two-month report. As we have recently put a lot of time and energy to rethink what is the best use of our time, the acceleration we see is obvious to us. We operate multiple ministries and projects, but we decided to rethink it (!) focusing only on the ones that make biggest impact. This is why we backed out of our radio operations.

 

See our new website that describes our vision, mission, ministries and much more.

Presently, we describe our whole ministry as “…a vibrant, interdenominational ministry that uses innovation and technology for global evangelism and discipleship”. There are two main “legs” of our operations: The first leg is, “direct ministry”. It covers all we do for Poles, Ukrainians, and English speakers, both on-line and off-line. The second-one is, “equipping partner ministries” – as we are sharing our methodology and software tools with international partners. Soon we should have our brand new DeoLink web page ready, which will precisely explain what all the things we do are and why we do them. It all makes logical sense and is consistent with our vision, mission, and plan.

US Trip Highlights:

Our new film distribution partnership.

Filip and I travelled to the States in February. First, I was attending JH Adventures Board meeting, and a strategic decision was made that Poland will become a hub for growth of JH Outback in Europe! This fabulous program, that has rescued hundreds of marriages and families in Poland, will spread, we believe, across Europe! If you are interested in bringing it to your country – please, write to us and we shall respond immediately! On this trip we also met with YouVersion people and had a wonderful time together. We are using their Bible tool in Poland and now we will do even more with it. We also attended the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Nashville. Again, wonderful networking, great discussions on how to utilize Christian films in Poland for long-lasting spiritual fruit.

Outback & Conference Planning

With new „lay leaders” of the Outback in 2024

Back in Poland we joined several planning meetings for Outback weekends (of which we have 8 this year), but also our Ministry Conference, planned for October 11-13th, 2024, in Wisla. This time we plan to have 3 streams – for our coaches, for Outback volunteers and for The Chosen ambassadors. We pray it will be a fantastic, stimulating time!

The Ukrainian work continues, adding new people to digital discipleship platform, but locally also gathering people on small group meetings and in our church. There are many openings, but resources are gone and we face some difficult decisions. We pray for wisdom, as the fruit is fantastic and there are more and more disillusioned Ukrainians around…

As mentioned previously, in April, Franklin Graham is to speak in Krakow. Again, it’s a great opportunity to connect with new people interested in becoming Jesus’ disciples. We shall be involved, helping with digital follow-up.

God bless you!

Prayer Praise & Requests

February answered prayers:

  • Blessed trips to the States and to a conference in Malta by Filip and Henryk, that opened number of new relations.
  • Over 16 million views of The Chosen episodes/programs/social media, some coming to our follow-up funnel. Fantastic premiere in Krakow and Warszawa
  • Many people continue to come to our digital discipleship courses and are served by an army of coaches. Meaningful decisions are taken!
  • Our family book, “Sure Foundation” gets many responses from readers! It tells the story of God’s faithfulness over 5 generations in very turbulent times. If you would like to get a copy if you do not have one, please, write to us at hkrol @ ccm.pl with your mailing address. We will look for the best way to deliver it to you.
  • Good development of our social media presence with hundreds of thousands impacted.

Friends, please pray

  • Special blessing for Franklin Graham meetings in Krakow.
  • God’s guidance in our expansion plans. Launching of our new web page, www.deolink.org.
  • Developing cooperation with new partners around the globe.
  • New courses that are in the pipeline for our e-learning platforms: in Polish, English and Ukrainian.
  • Many more laborers to help with the harvest that is huge!
  • Opening hearts of donors to help us expand the ministry, also in the context of Ukraine, as the work grows but donations have decreased. Out innovative approach really brings measurable results of many new believers, and we would like to bring it into next level
  • Physical strength from the Lord for dear friends: Mike MacIntosh, Peter Bye, Rob Sieval, who have been so much a part of our ministry over many years.
  • A blessing for Tadeusz and Henryk’s trip to the States in April to the Orlando conference on AI.
