MerryChristmas everyone!

Well, Christmas is all around us! Everybody is shopping trying to find the best gifts. Here in Krakow winter has come and it is white and cold. We all wonder if we are going to have white Christmas this year - finally after quite a while!

This Sunda we have two services. Our regular Sunday morning one and in the evening a special Carol Service. We are praying that many new people come to this evening one. Christmas is such a great opportunity to remind people why we are all celebrating! And to share the love of God with those around us.

We would like to wish you all our dear Friends blessed and joyful Christmas! May it the time filled with love and laughter. And for the coming year 2011 we wish you more of His presence! Thank you for your prayers and support!!! We love and appreciate you so much!

some news

And so the fall has come. It is getting colder and I am not sure if I am ready for it! There is lots happening in the life of our church. With the new seazon we relounched diferent things we have been doing. Students started strong with free lunches for students every Sunday of October and social nights on Thursdays. Both events turned out to be a great success. We have between 20 and 30 people each time. We are believing for a breakthrough! And we are seeing something happening. Each Sunday there are new people coming. We keep praying for salvations.

Couple of weeks ago we finished 'ibelieve' course for all those who just started their journey with God. We have now 4 people who want to get baptised! We are planning our second water baptism in November.

God has been so good for us and we know there is so much more ahead! We are believing for even greater things for the church and for Krakow! Thank you for standing with us and for all your prayers and support.

Summer is over

Well, at least the weather outside our window says so. It is pouring rain and pretty cold for the last days of August. I hope it is just a temporary thing and we will still have some sunshine!

In Poland summer vacation ends 1 of September. Kids start school and most people are back from their summer holidays. It is also a new seazon in the life of our church. Few new families have moved to Krakow, students will be back soon and we are ready for what God has prepared for us. On the 12 we are begining the course for new believers. There are a few people who got saved recently and want to be baptised and so after the three week course we will have our second water baptism in Krakow City Church. We are also relounching our life groups. We'll be meeting in two locations in the city. This year there will be more university students in the church and so we want to start strong from the very begining of the semester to be able to have better influence on the students world of Krakow.

Thank you for all your prayers. It is so good to know there are people all over the world who believe with us for a great church in this most beautiful city in Poland.

Birthday time!

Well, it is hard to believe, but Krakow City Church is one year old!!!! How the time flies.... This coming Sunday, May 16th, we are celebrating our first birthday. It has been a great year. Full of challenges, God encounters, surprises and new friendships. We could see many people coming to know Christ and that is the most rewarding thing! However we know that the best is yet to come! We are expecting the second year to be way better! We want to see more breakthroughs, more people getting saved and being connected to the church, more testimonies of God's goodness and love! We hope you will keep praying for us and with us and we will try and inform you about what is happening in the life of our church.

Being part of God's plan and team is such a privilege. We feel honoured to partner with Him in building His Kingdom. Thank you all for your support and warm comments and words of encouragement. They are so precious for us. You are a part of what we do here!

And the conference is over

It was AWESOME! 500 young people gathered together to worship God and be equipped and filled with God's power and promises. We had two guest speakers - Pastor Mark Foster from Audacious City Church in Manchester, UK; and Pastor Jurgen Matthesius from Christian City Church Sandiego, USA. Their ministry was incredible and God moved in powerful way. People were getting saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, theu received dreams and were being called to ministry. We are so thankful to God for all He has done! And we know it is just the beginning, because as we keep telling the young people - RADYKALNI is not a conference, it is a lifestyle. So we are looking forward to hearing great stories of how God uses these beautiful young people to bring hope and love of God to the nation of Poland.

Thank you for all the prayers, we could feel them. What else can I say... God is sooooo good!!!!

long time no...

Dear Friends,

It has been a long time since we last blogged. Please forgive us that recently we don't do it regularly. We entered a very busy time now and the last few weeks have been pretty hectic. Not mentioning the recent events in our country and with the volcanic ash in the air...

The church is doing good. We did DNA course for those who wants to be our partners. It was a great time and people are so excited. It is good to see how God is bringing people our way who are committed to our culture and the vision God has given us for Kraków.

In just two weeks we start our annual conference RADYKALNI. It begins on Friday April 30th and finishes on May 3rd. We are expecting great things and we know God is going to suprise us as He always does! We pray that everybody who comes will be changed by the grace and love of our Heavenly Father. Please pray with us for God to move in a powerful way, for many people to come and for God's protection for all the time of preparations and conference.

Thank you for your prayers and support. We will try to bring you updates more often!

First water baptism in KCC!!!

Last Sunday we had our first water baptism at !KCC. Five young people decided to tell the world they want to live for God. It was an amazing time, we had over 80 people who came together to celebrate the goodness of God and the new beginning for those amazing five people.

Every week we see new people coming and our church family is growing. We see more and more people really commited in the life of the church. We keep praying for the new people and for the church to grow, so that more and more people could see how great is our God!

New year!

It's been already a year since we started our journey that is called Kraków City Church! Amazing how the time flies... It has been a great year and what is exciting - this one is going to be even better! As a church we have now a week of fast and prayer for our church, our city and our nation. We know God has prepared amazing things for us, and now we want to prepare them.

Recently we have received a very encouraging letter and thought we would share some parts of it with you.

"I just wanted to thank you so much for KCC. Every week I think more and more that it is beyond what I had ever imagined church could really be like, and every week I am more and more amazed at how important KCC is becoming for me. I never believed I would be part of a church that genuinely felt good to be part of, where it would become such an important, precious (and fun) part of my life - and not just a nicely compartmentalised Christian part of my life! - and which I would go to out of anything other than duty on a Sunday morning. I never believed it would be possible to be in a church where I could truly be myself with other people there, and truly be myself there before God. At KCC I realised that my questions are fine, that I don't have to accept a "religion" that doesn't seem to make sense with the rest of my world, but rather God and I can do real life together. I'm beginning to finally understand that He's not trying to trip me up and is not just waiting for me to get it wrong . But He delights in doing me good and truly gives me life in abundance."

We pray that the church we are helping to build will never loose that and would always be a place where people will be discovering all that I just quoted. We thank God for His favour and inspiration and for such great people who join us on the journey and begin to live their lives to the full for Him!
