We know it's been quite a while since we updated on Xanga. Sorry about that. Some of our previous posts were getting pretty old. It's good to be back in Poland. We are living in Szczecin. We are not living in the same flat we were in before. The price jumped up and the owner was not willing to negotiate, so we did some searching and The Lord blessed us with a nice house on the north side of the city. We are thankful.

The first thing we notice returning to Europe is the numbers of people. We are used to good old Oregon where you can still go places and get away from the crowds. These shots are taken in the mountains of southern Poland and, as you can see the place is packed!

But, of course, that's why we are here - the people. We recently visited Auswitz, a difficult place to visit. The numbers are mind boggling: 6 million humans exterminated. Six, 6, SIX - six MILLION ! ! ! About twice the population of Oregon..... And, yet there are multiplied millions in Poland still behind the barbed wire and concrete walls of sin.

To all of our friends that pray for us, support us financially and in general stand with us - we thank you!

Tomorrow morning we minister in Betezda Church. Monday we have a meeting with the General Superintendent addressing various subjects. In mid-August we do a 10-day camp in Kopanica with youth (and a large group from oprhanages). In September we have a Field meeting in Warsaw of all the Poland Missionaries.

We have three building projects in the works, an evangelism book to put together and print, Marriage Seminar's to conduct and always, always, always a burden for the lost. Keep praying, that will make the difference.

We'll do better with posting. Until next time.
