Goodbye, Poland :(

Posted on

I have another 30 minutes before my alarm, and I should be getting as much sleep as possible before the long trek home.  But I woke up and I can’t go back to sleep.  I’m just sitting here thinking about how much we’ll miss this place and the work we’ve been doing here.

Our flight to Chicago leaves in about 4 hours, after which the dear Pat and Janet Fahey will drive us back home to sleep for a couple of days.  Then it’s back to “normal” life.  I hate to say I’m dreading that, because my “normal life” is a good life.  But I will miss this.

Please pray with me for God’s blessings on those we’ve had the joy of being with this last month …

  • The Christian church in Ostróda, Poland
  • Polish Christian Ministries & Dave Hatfield
  • Impact Europe Ministries
  • The Holocaust Survivors in Israel
  • The children from Kaliningrad
