I like the summer months so much – even when not on vacations, life seems to be more colorful and positive… that said, together with Bogusia, we had a great time off in Sicily, where temperatures went up to 40 Celsius. Some adventures with cancelled flights and lost luggage, but they did not steal our joy of seeing beautiful nature and resting!
I’m sending you special greetings from sunny Poland!
Long awaited vacation
Life was busy – I was with my daughter – Paulina at a wonderful Christian Economic Forum conference in Quebec. It’s an amazing group of leaders who care for the problems of the world with Bible being the reference! I could use the whole letter to describe some great work conducted by top level scientists, financial leaders and entrepreneurs who, in the name of Christ, take initiative in Africa and Asia. It was very, very inspiring time indeed!

This year, by God’s grace, we were able to expand the Outback weekends into planned seven events! We have just finished the fifth one – it was longer, 5 days and part of it was Outback University – for singles age 18-30. It was the largest crowd we ever had – over 230 people including volunteers, placed in a new location in Bieszczady mountains, a ca. 5.5 hour drive from our Wisla.
All the volunteers were exhausted after it but it was just fantastic! Many of the young guests were attracted through our social media campaigns – there was several young atheists or people not interested in religion at all, but open to “see it” because it was cheap ☺ One guy came with his girlfriend but returned home when he was told they could not stay in this same room. She stayed, and later gave her heart to Jesus!
The incredible encouragement was that after 5 days of staying in an “atmosphere of God’s presence”, people melted like clay… Nobody left early, several professed their faith under the cross. It has brought so much new hope to my heart! If only we could have an opportunity and attention of people for a few days, uninterrupted by phones, etc., so that they would understand God’s plan for their life – so many more would invite Jesus to their hearts! I still see the faces of people telling their testimonies at the last session… Yes, God works today!

We had several dear friends from USA from Outback who helped us with the event – thank you so much! After the event we were meeting with 3 of them, discussing possibilities of increasing the scale of Outback’s global influence by creating a movement, with the help of digital technology. Yes, God’s Word has the same power, our role is to release it for people we can connect with! No more just talking and planning but doing!

As always everything ends around a table
We had some great progress also on The Chosen project. Its ambassadors are taking it to many places during vacations, sharing in small and big groups… Huge promotion is happening by its fans, who are using it for evangelism. This Wednesday we had a big LED screen at Krakow famous market square with The Chosen being shown among some other content. Attended by crowds, many good talks afterwards.

And in a week – another Outback weekend. Yes, we are somewhat exhausted… Still, the fall plans look great – some travel, many meetings, growth! Thank you, Jesus! All of it on top of hundreds of people daily getting to our digital discipleship platforms.
