Easter coming in March this year made the month seem to pass more quickly. It seems every month moves faster and faster, but it’s good – it brings us closer to the fulfillment of our hope of eternal life with Jesus! WOW! It will be better there than we can even imagine! But, until then, we can exercise out stewardship of the time we have been given. It can be an enjoyable process, even when we struggle and are troubled.
We had a good “mentor” meeting with the leaders who help to run our Polish Internet ministry, Looking For God. I am always amazed to witness the great unity, focus and good advice. It is a joy to share all the progress, discuss plans, new ideas and directions.
Now several of our staff are preparing our program for World Youth Day. Mathew is working on the subtitling of the Gospel of John movie (the voice-over already finished), Filip and Tymek were recently in the Netherlands, among other things, talking to the software company that is to make the mobile application to accompany Gospel of John augmented reality booklet. We all are also involved, with others, in preparing the content of the follow-up initiative. Tomek is working all the time on upgrading our flagship Gele e-learning system, version3.0 is now in preparation.

We are very thankful to our Lord that so far – we’ve had no disasters, hacker attacks, etc.. We pray for God’s protection, but also want to implement all the technology available to reduce the risk.As there has been a direct request, we will also prepare an Arabic template (from right to left), so that courses could be implemented. There are so many things happening, e.g., now we host and service some 130 different platforms/web portals for 27 countries. How thankful we are to the Lord for allowing us such a growth of influence!
Krzysztof is working on increasing the impact of our radio. Part of the process is expanding our technical coverage, optimizing antenna placement, etc. A lot of effort has already been made, Oświecim (Auschwitz) now has a new system in place, Bielsko is in the process and Ustroń is next in line. This is accompanied by experimenting with the program content. We started to see, again, some audience growth. Thank you for your prayers!
As every year, we had our Passover dinner in Malinka valley. Again, it was a joyful, fruitful time of witness with some 200 people attending, many of them unbelievers.
This weekend we hold our Board meeting (held twice a year). It is always a joy to meet together, but also plan for the future. One of the topics is balanced growth. Some challenges, like increasing office space for our software team and looking for a new building for radio operations in Gliwice must be addressed. Another challenge is the increasing openings and invitations to help more countries with building their Internet work. Yes, we would love to do it, but we need more people and money.
Well, dear Friend, as you see, we still desperately need your prayers. God’s will is our ultimate goal, reading it, working towards its fulfillment and implementation, this is our passion.
Yours very thankfully,
Henio
