1st day in Bydgoszsz - Poland 2007
 
We arrived in Bydgoszsz and were taken to the Baptist Church by Piotr for the Action Group meeting.  Actually we had ice cream and coffee before we arrived at the Church!
Following the meeting we checked into the hotel and prepared for the 2 events to follow.
The 1st meeting was a Ladies Coffee event.  66 were present - 40 guests, from which 27 prayed to receive Jesus; 21 requested more information and 26 signed up for the Next Step meeting.  
The 2nd meeting was a Teachers Supper.  62 were present - 47 guests, from which 18 prayed to receive Jesus; 22 requested more information and 19 signed up for the Next Step meeting.  
These meetings were a delight.  We had Michai as pianist (excellent); Bozena and Lidia as MC’s (Bozena gave her testimony), and Janusz sang for us at the Teachers Supper - powerful voice.  The lady I have the most admiration for is my interpreter, Agnieszka - she managed incredibly well with my English accent!
Take a look at some pictures here to give you a visual perspective.
Thank you again for your continuing prayers; keep going, there are another 11 meetings to go!  We have seen God do amazing things already during this trip - I am expecting more.
We thank God and give Him all the Glory.  I am reminded this morning of the joy that comes with Salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.  ‘Salvation is found in no-one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved’ (Acts 4:12).
Bless you
