Ah well, the traditional vacation season is over and we are very thankful for a slightly slower pace of work, it has provided a chance to reflect on where we want to go!
Led by our development coach, (Zach Clark) we have assessed the impact achieved (by God’s grace) in 2014 – 2020.
Summing up the verified numbers (using external evaluation tools and agencies) we were moved by how good God has been! The whole DEOrecordings ministry has long since far outstripped what we might have expected from our own abilities.
- The first step of our all-embracing process of introducing people to Jesus is ACCESS – an initial contact by radio, Internet, bookmarks and leaflets reaped a harvest ofAs we observe a backturn of many from Christianity, such a record is a real miracle!4.5 million Polish people! Their “involvement” was small, but noticeable.
- The second step – KNOW – is sharing the good news about Jesus’ plan for every individual. It is “clicking” the button of being interested in salvation, buying records or DVDs, signing up to one of the many courses we offer, etc. Just an “easy” involvement! The initial response was 630.000 people!!!
- The third step, GROW, aiming at more real involvement, finishing discipleship courses, joining a small group on-line or off-line, attending one of our conferences, using daily devotions, joining as a member of a fellowship or church recruited 55.000 Poles!
- The fourth step is “SHARE” – equipping believers for multiplication. Joining as a volunteer, e-coach, Outback volunteer, small group leader, training others, leading in their own fellowships, etc. enlisted around 1.300 people!
As we observe around a back turn of many from faith, such a record is a real miracle! Well, we are aware that we are just one link in the chain of the process ordained by the Lord in the life of every interested individual. There are many influences abroad. This is why we do not “claim” it is by us! But are thankful, that the efforts of hundreds of people involved, including you, friends, as a prayer warrior is not in vain!
“Woman’s breakfast” – YES – this year live!
As always our band “Cześć” was accompanying and brought a lot of joy!
E-coach conference
We just finished our annual e-coach conference titled “Together further”. Once again it was wonderful! Some 130 people attended in person while others were on-line. Unity, passion and direct goals – to DOUBLE the outcomes and impact! A special Lord’s “smile” to us was when one young man, Peter, a drug addict, alcoholic, totally lost, who came to the conference “by accident”, from Nick Vujicic responders listing. He was so touched, that he has given his life to Jesus, on the spot! What a joy!
As our strategy works so well, why not extend it even more? What a challenge! But we do have people, plans, objectives, and we want to focus on our leader the Lord Jesus Christ! We pray for major financial resources that a re needed to trigger it!
This year we’ve had more time to talk in small groups and build relationships.
Family news
More good news. Our youngest son, Szczepan with his family has returned to Poland after 7 years spent in Austria! His primary goal is to help our ministry grow. He is a serious specialist in IT, who was instrumental in launching our main digital discipleship tool GELE – so we are thrilled! Not to mention, that having whole family nearby is a great joy!
Friends, we deeply appreciate your Friendship! Together, we may change the World, in the power of Holy Spirit!
