Polish outreach teams to Germany

and Sicily It is happening. Polish Christians are hearing God’s call to missions and they are accepting the challenge! If you read our last printed update then you know about our trips to Budapest and Krakow. We continued the mission trips this year with a team of 30 to Berlin in May and a group of 31 to Sicily in July! What makes these outreaches so special (other than sharing the gospel!)? They are truly intergenerational and interdenominational! The ages ranged from four to fifty-

eight years old and everything in between while members of the Catholic and Protestant churches came together in unity to show the love of Jesus. It is a powerful testimony when such diversity stands together under the banner o f C h r i s t r e p r e s e n t i n g t h e mosaicked Church body. The Holy Spirit continually drew people to our groups in both nations because they were attracted to a uniqueness they’d never before

seen. On our last night in Sicily after our street evangelism, a local couple came up

and shared with us how they’d been praying for thirty years that God would bring someone to come share the gospel - and we were that answer to prayer! Father used the children in our teams to repeatedly break through barriers of age, culture, and language to bring joy and to serve the marginalized. The gospel is transformational not only to non-Christians but also to believers who engage with the Holy Spirit in daily life. We’ve seen abundant spiritual growth in the parents and children who’ve taken steps of faith to go on outreach. They’ve even continued the mission trips after returning home by sharing their powerful testimonies with friends and looking for ways to serve in their local communities. Praise God for all He is doing in His people in Poland!

Students reflect on the mission trip to Berlin:

- For the first time, I received a specific Bible verse from God. - I could serve senior citizens by cleaning the garden. - I learned about leadership and cooperating

with children by being a group leader. - Sunday Communion with Poles and Germans was special as God put reconciliation on my heart. -

Experiencing mission with my son was valuable for me. - I heard from God for an individual. - I saw individuals grow spiritually and receive

hearts for mission. - The train ride was fun!

MINISTRY IN POLAND Not only have we served internationally but we have been ministering in Poland as well. Greg and I continue to volunteer at Samuel Christian School in Warsaw. We are teaching Bible hour on Mondays for the whole school from 1st through 9th grade, fulfilling a chaplain role, as well as teaching conversational English to the middle school classes. This is our third year and the last one we’ve officially committed to so we are praying that God would show us what our roles will be in the years to come. We have three mission trips planned for the families at Samuel - two within Poland where both cities are about an hour away from Warsaw, and a third to Brussels so we can intercede for the EU parliament. What’s amazing is that Greg and I will only be co-leading the teams because we have had two other families join our local staff and they are wanting to help lead outreach! Both families had hands-on training in Sicily and at local events where Greg and I modeled KKI’s values, primarily showing them how to practically hear from God and be obedient in what He says regardless of the circumstances.

In September we had the honor to host our international KKI directors, Guy and Joelle Zeller from Switzerland. We gave them a full schedule and had them meet as many of our staff as possible! They taught a seminar on “God’s Vision for Family” at a local church and this was the first time for many to hear the biblical foundation of what God’s purpose for family truly is. We had around 70 in attendance and received

an overwhelmingly positive response from the parents and singles who came. For more details please read about it at www.skrobarfam.com! I have posted also about the prayer conference I attended in London and about our time serving at a Baptist church on the Baltic coast.

WHAT’S UP NEXT The youth leaders at our church have asked Greg and me to come teach at the Saturday youth meetings and to possibly lead an outreach next spring. We are excited about connecting with this young married couple in leadership and are praying that a new discipling relationship will develop.

In November we take a group of elementary students and parents to a town named Garwolin where we will serve the local fire department, police officers, and city hall alongside the small church community. Please pray for wisdom in our leadership team and openness for the gospel.

We have a group of 17 Poles going to the annual KKI European conference in Barcelona. This is our biggest group ever so please pray they catch the larger vision of King’s Kids and will have an encounter with God. I know

this will be a key time for many in their walk with Father and missions.

If you would like to hear more then many of you will have a chance while we are in Alabama for Christmas and the month of January. Please sign up for the meal schedule here so we can be sure to see each of you! This will be the first time in two and half years we will as family be in the USA. Can’t wait!

POLISH PRAYER POINT Taken from operationworld.org

There is a great need for witness in Poland, with 90% of municipalities having no evangelical church. There are more evangelicals in Saudi Arabia than in Poland. Most Poles are resistant to the gospel due to either their “cultural” Catholicism or their spiritual apathy. There is certainly a need and an open door for missionaries to come and serve alongside the national church. Pray for evangelicals to rise to this great challenge and catch a vision for the salvation of their countrymen as well as of their European neighbors.

We will share a different Polish Prayer Point in each newsletter so you can join others around

the world in prayer that changes nations.
