Instant friends
Friday evening I returned from a 3-day visit to Poznan, Poland. The purpose of my trip was to help explain the concepts of saturation church planting to missionaries from 6 organizations (Avant, Evangelical Free, C&MA, IMB, Pioneers, CB International). My presentation was well received, and as a result, representatives from each of these groups will be part of our "facilitation effort" in Poland. Let's pray that more churches will be planted!
The morning following the conference it was a privilege to have coffee with a young and dynamic Polish church planter named Maciej. Here's a picture of Maciej and me having a latte at "Coffee Heaven" (the best coffee I've had in Europe . . . when do we move to Poland?????) . . .
Maciej and I became fast friends as we talked about his strategy to plant churches in villages near Poznan. Please pray for Maciej as he continues to formulate his plan. He's got lots of gifts and vision. Now he needs to prove himself for the long haul of the ministry. Currently he needs co-workers and sustainable resources. I hope he and I can develop a lasting friendship.

Lee, my mom, your grandmother did indeed defend her faith by the way she lived. I am so thankful for a mom like her.
