God is Amazing!
July 28th, 2008
Just when we thought our mission trip was coming to a close (I mean, it was technically), two more people received Jesus tonight. We were gathered at a park near the university this evening after a day of shopping and sight seeing in Poznan. We debriefed about all that God had done through us and in us.
Apparently 40 people gathered in a park can make onlookers curious, because 3 Polish students (2 girls and a guy) came and sat with us while we were sharing. All of us in the circle where we sat kind of made eye contact with each other, wondering who they were and who was going to talk to them. Since they were sitting by Steele and I, the guy (who seemed angry) asked Steele where we were from. From there on, basically Steele and Carolina (from Poland) began to share the gospel. The 2 girls received Jesus. They know that He lives in their hearts. And they exchanged phone numbers with Carolina, and hugged her as they said goodbye! Pray for them. The guy seemed a little shrill to say the least. Pray for him too.
Simultaneously, Tim had been sharing with one of their other friends. He didn’t get saved, but he took home a Polish gospel tract. Pray seeds will continue to be planted.
Today I read about how when Jesus was being presented in the temple as a baby, a devout man named Simeon prophesied these words. I think they also apply to us. What an honor to share in Christ:
“’This child will be rejected by many in Israel, and it will be their undoing. But he will be the greatest joy to many others. Thus, the deepest thought of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your very soul” (Luke 2:34).
It’s so cool that God just brought them to us simply because of the Holy Spirit inside of us!
Our souls are pierced,
Kim

God IS amazing and He shines in all of you! Time and time again, you are examples of Godly living, showing the world how to truly live by His Word. God led me to 1 Peter 3:14-16 and I thought of you. “But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. ‘Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened.’ But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.” We pray that many are saved through your teaching, but also that many learn how to teach by your gentle, humble spirits.
Love you all and can’t wait to see you again!

Ditto the Morrison’s again…I couldn’t say it any better! You guys rock, and it’s so exciting to read about how lives are being changed and how the Spirit is moving. I have a strong mental picture of bright tongues of fire burning in the night behind you, each one multiplying itself and spreading its light exponentially as the Spirit moves through Europe. What an awesome God we have! Thanks to you all, for your passion (which is blessedly contagious) and your faithfulness (which is inspiring to the soul). Can’t wait to have you back!
