This summer I had an occasion to spend a little time with pastor Krzysztof from Konin. He pastors a very small church of 10 people in a city of around 60,000 people. He has a pastor’s heart, but goes through the many struggles that typical Polish pastors have who care for such a small flock – very little finances, lack of helpers, opposition from the outside. In spite of the difficulties the Lord put on his heart to help another pastor start a new church. It is in a city an hour away from both of them where no church exists. The city is called Turek with about 30,000 people. Just imagine, this is just one of hundred of such cities of this size where no church exists. I was asked to go there with him. Five believers have been meeting in a rented hall for some time and day I was there a guest came. I was sharing on the cost of following Jesus. The man’s heart was moved and he indicated that he wanted to become a Christian. We prayer together for forgiveness and salvation. What a joy! Pastor Krzysztof has invited me back to minister in Turek and Konin.
