Bill Gates Without any hesitation we can say that it was a wonderfulIvan C. Odor year.Bill Smith First of all: millions of pec^le became free frcm atheistic-

ccmminism. For those people new hope for better future entered their hearts.

Second: The ciospel of Christ started to penetrate previously unreached nations.

The Gospel was preached on the streets, in the parks, in schools, jails,public buildings, in the previously closed churches and in the ChristianService Canps.

Literature was published. Bibles were purchased and were given to those\^o never before had a Bible in their hands.

Ihere were glorious baptismal services in lakes, rivers, baptistries andeven swiirming pools.

Christian Service Cairp in Ostroda

Native ministers with the help of American Brethren and Churches were able topreach the Gospel and lead people to Christ without any hindrances

This was the good side of the year, but on the other hand there was still some fear, uncertainty and poverty.Transition frcm a socialistic government into a democracy and privatizationv^ich caused high prices and uneirployment is very painful for Poland and o-ther former socialistic and COTinunistic countries.

There is also no stability in the governments.All that touched unbelievers as well as believers and there is a great neednot only for spiritual but also physical help.

POLISH MINISTRY IS PIONEERING IN ALL PHASES OF WDRK AND HELP.

Because of precious Christian Friends and Churches in America we were ableto raise in 1991 $ 279,504.00 and we say "PRAISE THE LORD" and "THANK YOU,WONDERFUL CHRISTIANS."

With that financial assistance and prayers we were able:1. Support 45 preachers and staff members of Polish Ministry with a total

- 2 -

amount of S 160,664.00.2. Bxiild, purchase and renovate church buildings in the amount of

S 69,000.00.3. Print literature and purchase Bibles for S 23,356.00.4. Visit Poland and Russia with the Gospel and pronote of Polish work

in USA - S 12,064.00.5. Answer letters and office ej^jensess - S 4,606.00.6. Send medicine and food - $ 14,100.00.

We thank our regular si^iportes, those v^o responded to our appeals and Mrs.Charles Steele and her son, Mark, who during 1991 sent several times money inmsmory of the departed Bro. Charles Steele v^o was very interested in the vrorkin Poland and served nany years as a mariber of the Guidance Carmittee.

Last year, liJ^e, like never before, during our visit of Poland we dedicated3 newly errected cliurch buildings: Bialorard, Kiedzyles and Bielsk Podlaski.

Our hearts were rejoicing with the Christians in Poland seeing every placefilled with worshipers.

IT WAS A GREAT YEAR INDEED!

This year, like never beforp, we need your help. - Prices on everythingin Poland go up. More people are unenployed.Preachers are worrying how to Survive on our average support especiallythose \^o have children at hom^ or going to school, because now theymustpay for books, notebooks, pencils, etc. and in sane Highschools even fortuition.

Few new mission stations were established and they need places to meet.Several chapels need expanding1We can print literature and books in Poland but the cost of paper and printis very high. There is need for more Bibles.

I just received a letter frcm Bro. Peter Karel and he said that due to different programs of the church, especially park meetings v^ich were led insummer every Saturday, they baptized more people into Christ. But there isone problem; their church can not accomodate all the people and many of themhave to stand during the vdiole 2 hour-long service.When we were in Poland last June we had in Kolobrzeg a ground breaking ceremony for expansion of the building and they are ready to go with the project in the spring but again ttie funds are low. They have S 7,000.- vM.chI gave them but the project may cost S 30,000.- or more.This kind of problem worries Several of our preachers in Poland.We rejoice together with them tlhat churches are growing but we worry hew tohelp them to enlarge old or buiild new sanctuaries.

lord willing, I plan to be in pbland May 19 - June 15 of this year. I willtry to visit each church, sit dpwn and talk with every preacher individuallyand to meet with all preachers,: evangelists and workers to evaluate thework and progress of the ch\irch|es in Poland. It will be a very busy time.I will need your prayers, I alsp need your financial help for travels toPoland and in Poland, to purch^e Bibles, medicine, especially Excedrin -ex-tra strong, /each preacher and: many others ask for it/, to help with thebuilding programs and help the j:hurches to establish a benevolent fund franv^ch the churches will be able to help the most needy people.

I trust you will work with us a^ support \js so that this year will be evengreater than last in our ministj^-Thank you once more and may the Lord bless you real good.

Yours in His ministry.

LETTER FROM A YOUTH MINISTER IN DABROWA GORNICZA

"Dear Bro. Bajko.I would like to thank the Department of Missions for the gift ofS 200.-. It truly was very useful!

We had a very succesful winter Retreat where many young peoplewere present. Several of those young people came to our youthmeeting last Saturday. Most of them were from the city of Sos-nowiec. We pray for that city and the work among the young people there.A large percentage of members of our churches here today areyoung people. We therefor^ cannot neglect the work among them.Looking at our churches today, I can see that the most activeand the fastest growing ait^ong them are those that are missionary minded.A few weeks ago, our Board of Elders entrusted me with the mission work in our congregation. I am greatly honored by that, butalso feel the great load df responsibility. A special fund wascreated for the purpose of the mission work. We made an appealto our congregation and ra^ised almost 300,000 zloty for the purpose of renting different 'public places for evangelism.Our youth is very excited j^rid helpful in that project as well asin the whole evangelistic/ missionary activities they are involved in.

We lately went to the parkjs to distribute the Gospel of John. Wenow plan to go to the nearby s:ocial cliabs to organize evangelistic meetings there. This type of work is not easy because we havea limited experience in it. So far we had just a few excursionsoutside of our church building. But we believe in the Great Commission and know that God will bless our efforts.We want the Church of Jesus Christ in Dabrowa Gornicza to grovJ!

Jarek Sciwiarski".

30 GLORIOUS DAYS IN POLAND

Paul Bajko, Director

August, 1992

May 18th I departed for Poland and May 22nd I was joined byBro. Ivan Odor, minister of the Mt. Pleasnt Church in Mich,and member of the Guidance Committee of the Polish Mission,and Bro. John Buckley, minister of the West Lebanon Churchin Indiana.

We started our trip from Warsaw driving first to the Churches in the North-West then in the North, in the East, in the South and finishing in Warsaw.We visited and preached in 20 churches and stopped for short visit in another 5 churches.

Everywhere we were welcomed enthusiastically.Comparing with the last year we noticed that in all our churches the YoungPeople are taking an active part in services, in special programs, visita -tions, street or park meetings. Usually during the services there were special numbers in music and song by the Youth.There was a baptismal service in Bialogard, ordination service in Siemiaty-cze, special meetings with area preacheis in Kolobrzejf, Ostroda, Bielsk Pod-laski^ Dabrowa Gornicza and Warsaw. By the end of my trip I met with almost all przechers in Ostroda for 2 days conference.Harmony and unity prevailed and there was desire for a greater ministry inPoland and urgency to redeem each opportunity to preach the Gospel and winsouls for Christ.

Although on my way to Poland, in the plane, my right leg started to swell Inever suspected that it was Thrombophlebitis. But thanks to prayers of manybrethren, that did not interfere with our busy schedule.Only when I returned to USA I landed in a hospital for seven days. This wasthe first time in 38 years of my ministry that I was forced to cancel1 ourtrip to Anahaim to NACC where I was to present a workshop on the theme "Thegrowth of the Church in Poland.

About our trip to Poland I would like to quote from an article written byBro. John Buckley in his church paper "West Lebanon Christian News." /Seepage 3/

Paul Bajko and the Polish Christian workers had planned the three week tourto perfection. No time was lost and there was a blending of seeing the land,meeting the people and visiting the churches.The land of Poland is beautiful with many historical sights; the Baltic Sea,Warsaw, Tremblinka, Auschwitz and the beutiful Vistula River. Also, we traveled 2,500 miles of picturesque tree-lined highways.The people are hard working people who use what they have to it's full adva-tage. They are very artistic and musical. They especially enjoy family andevents that necessitate eating, I stayed in the homes of Christian familiesand made many special friends. They cerstainly practice the Scriptual teaching"to entertain strangers". The Christians we met were open and friendly. Wewere always guests of honor. They spread tables of food when it was evidentto us that it was a hardship. Out of their need they gave to us and it ishumbling to see such graciousness in the name of Jesus.The Churches are growing, many young people and families are taking an active part. The music is inspirational and varied. There were several diffen&ntmusical instruments in the services.The preachers are very supportive of one another and enjoy a rich fellowship.We were impressed by the laalance of younger and older preachers. It was aprivilege to participate in the Ordination of a young Polish preacher, A-leksander Zegunia from Siemiatycze. His love for Christians there was evident in the response to the Call. Many of the Christians wept from joy ashe accepted the call to be their shepherd.
