Piotr Zaremba Gets Some Unexpected News
ITMI’s Piotr Zaremba was notified that his church, K5N, is losing the place they’ve been meeting for years.
The theater is being sold. Meeting places that would hold the church are rare in Poland, and finding one owned by someone who isn’t afraid to work with Evangelicals is even tougher.
Pray for God to provide a new meeting place for K5N.
Charl’s Exciting Announcement
ITMI’s Charl van Wyk reports that enough funds have been raised through a matching campaign to construct the Early Childhood Development Center in the unofficial settlement of Stone Hill!
God even provided enough to build a small medical clinic, too!
...and some related prayer requests.
Forest fires are ravaging South Africa right now, so we can pray for protection for our ministry facilities.
Charl's co-worker and brother-in-law, Bradley Kuhn, is trusting God to provide for a full-time staff member for the small but oh-so-needed clinic.
Charl is on the East Coast of the US with his son right now, speaking, meeting and encouraging.
Paul and Molly Celebrate Summer Outreaches
Paul and Molly are praising God and celebrating how simple outreaches made a bigger splash than you'd think.
Just over 1,000 children were reached with the glorious message of the Gospel through VBS in over a dozen areas around Paul and Molly's city in India!
Additionally, many of their families heard about our great Savior at closing day performances and events. Their ministry also ran summer sports camps in 22 locations around their city.
K5N Mission to Bulgaria
ITMI’s Daniel and Blueberry Machlowski will be among a team of adults and youth from K5N church on a short-term mission to Bulgaria this month.
(This is the trip that was partly funded by bees. )
Poles have favor among Bulgarians, and the team hopes to use this novelty to bolster the local church’s engagement with their community through outreach events.
Timothy Keller in the States!
ITMI’s Timothy Keller will be in the States with his son, Frederick this fall.
Tim will be sharing about his ministry discipling rural villages in Zambia and equipping local leaders to disciple others.
If you’re able, plan to have coffee with Tim or invite him to your Sunday School class or small group. It's a win-win for everyone involved!
