Update! Frisbee! Coffeehouse! VBS!

Things are going great so far. Please pray for these people specifically: Michael, Kames, Marciek (Marcheck), and Bartek. These are the 4 youth that we have been hanging around these past few days. To our knowledge they are not believers and the language barrier is almost impossible to overcome. Polish is so hard! But God is much bigger and more powerful than any language barrier so be praying for God to move in their lives. Also pray for the coffeehouse ministry in Lubin, Poland. Here's a link for Coffeehouse Logos Lubin. Pray that God would continue to bring young people there to hear the Gospel from the missionaries.

Tomorrow we start leading a VBS from 10am-12pm local time. It will be very much like American VBS, but with a gigantic language barrier. Please pray that God will use us in spite of this obstacle. Also pray that we will be able to make contact with parents through this outreach. The VBS will be located at the coffehouse.

We'll also be visiting an orphanage in the afternoons. Some days we'll be volunteering at a school for special needs children. Again, we hope to minister to these individuals, but we also want to share the gospel with parents. Our schedule is very packed. Please pray to God that we might have enough rest in the evenings. A/C is seldom seen in Lubin and we Americans don't like sleepy in the hotness.

Here are a few pictures of our work so far. First is Caleb. We've been teaching the Polish kids how to play ultimate frisbee. They love it. It's the new football.
















Here is Marciek. Trust us. He doesn't need coffee. He has LOADS of energy.

Praying for you guys, esp. about the language barrier. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of communication. Remember Pentecost!
