Our
time in Warsaw, Poland although short has been really good. We stayed
in the home of the pastor of a local church. It was an amazing
blessing to be able to get to know him and his family. They have a
huge heart for the people here and it’s evident in their ministry and
the way they love on people.
While here we’ve mostly been sharing
what God’s done this year through the race. We’ve had several
opportunities to give our testimony and although it doesn’t seem like
much God has used our stories to impact those we’ve spoken to. He’s
shown me in this last week the power of sharing all He’s done in my
life. It’s been really cool to see how the experiences (good and bad)
He’s taken me through are used to encourage others later.
After sharing at one of the Bible
studies a woman named Ella told us that our testimonies had helped
her and her daughter, Eva. She said that they had been struggling
with some things about Eva’s youngest son. It wasn’t until after the
study that they were able to share more of there story. Eva has two
sons, Victor and Bartek. Bartek is two years old and was born with a
heart condition. His aortic valve is too small in some places making
blood flow difficult which is causing him to have high blood
pressure. He’s scheduled to have surgery in two weeks.
We were able to visit them and pray for
them a couple times before we left which was a big encouragement not
only to them but us as well. They said several times how our meeting
wasn’t an accident but that God had brought us together. I think I
said this already in a past blog but I’ll say it again, I know that
there is power in prayer and this little boy needs a lot of it. Now
I’d like to ask you to join me in praying for him.
