The Polish Church is getting ready to go

At the mission-net conference in Germany last year, Kasia (ex-OMer) met Robert, a Polish Christian who had worked in Russia as a missionary for several years, and now leads a small missions school in Krakow.

Kasia was invited to the mission school to share about her time with OM, and was encouraged to meet other Polish missionaries. “The group is small but very much on fire for God and for missions,” says Kasia. “They come from different parts of Poland and meet every second month for the whole weekend. It was truly a blessing to spend time with that group and answer their questions.”

Last month, Kasia and Magda (OMer) were invited to speak about missions at a women’s conference in Kielce. Many of the participants were Catholic, and had never visited that church before. “The response was incredible,” remarks Kasia. “When I finished speaking, a woman ran up to me, and couldn’t stop hugging and kissing me…she was so cute. Another lady, who was also visiting for the first time, asked me to help her find an organisation to sponsor a child. And finally a shy and humble man approached me and said, ‘I am a poor farmer and don’t have much. But please tell me how can I support missions financially…’ I was deeply touched and humbled by this man.

"That evening, we spoke about missions with the youth, and the importance of giving our lives fully to God, even as teenagers. During dinner that evening, the pastor’s daughter, Sarah, (15 years old) told me that she had a special love for China and was thinking about going there one day to serve God." Praise God for Robert and Kasia who are challenging the Polish Church for missions.

OM’s role in the Church is to mobilise people to share the knowledge of Jesus and His love with every generation in every nation. OM pioneers and leads initiatives to redeem lives, rebuild communities and restore hope in over 110 countries.
