Back from the USA to the mission field in Poland

I just returned from a trip to see my family and friends in the USA. It was a really good time, and I enjoyed spending time with my mom, my dad and his wife and my half brothers, as well as getting together with a number of friends that I have not seen in awhile.

You can view some pictures of my time in the USA- maybe you will be in one of the pictures? Pictures of my family are at: http://picasaweb.google.com/jerry.renata.dean/FamilyPictures

Now that I am back, there was a lot of ministry waiting for me. Four lectures on my first saturday here, and preaching on Sunday

Klaudia's mom died

This past Friday the mother of Karolina’s close friend Klaudia died after a long battle with cancer. We are helping her 22 old sister to receive custody of her. The chances are not that large. She has no job, no husband, a 2 year old baby and lives in a run down building that has been condemned. The first step is getting them decent housing and a friend had agreed to pay all her rent for the first 6 months.

Her father does not have custody rights and is not interested in Klaudia . If her sister will not receive custody, then we will try to take her in as a foster family to prevent her from being sent to an orphanage. Please pray with us for this difficult situation and for the best thing to be done regarding these sisters.
