Warm Greetings from your friends in
Olesnica, Poland!
I am so encouraged
with the blessings God has given us in
our home church and ministry. Our
church is filled to the brim, causing us
to add extra chairs for Sunday’s
services. Only a few years ago, half of
those seats were empty.
I want to thank you for your precious
gift – the set of audio cassettes from
Campmeeting 2004 @ ALT. They reached us
safely yesterday, January 13 – on my
birthday. They are an encouragement to
me in my ministry. I hold Bro.
Clendennen and Bro. Greaves in very high
esteem. Both men have visited us here
and have ministered in our churches. We
need such men of God who still preach
the old time solid Gospel!
Thank you for sending the camera. I
immediately started taking pictures of
the family. I also took pictures of the
outside of our church building. It was
built in the 15th century as
a Jewish Synagogue and converted to a
Protestant Church in the 17th
century. Included will be pictures of
the inside with our people, I will take
the pictures on Sunday and send them to
you on Monday.
I would like to thank you, my brothers
and sisters at Abundant Life Tabernacle
for your faithful support in prayer and
finances. It means so much to our
ministry and us. Your support has made
the difference in so many needs of our
church families. We have families that
have lost jobs and are finding it hard
to meet their basic needs. Many are
going without medicines and clothing,
but with your support we are making a
difference. Just as important or even
more important is to know there are
Christians in your church praying for
our people, our ministry and us. We
sensed your prayers many times, as we
needed it the most.
Unemployment in
Poland is over 20% right now, much
higher in our town. It has affected our
Christian families and we desire your
prayers that the right
doors will be opened, allowing our
families to find jobs.
I am meeting every
afternoon to pray for the work at
Abundant Life Tabernacle. I can see
that something good is already
happening. It is all the wonderful and
undeserved grace of God and all the
glory belongs to Him.
ALT is now one of
the very few faithful in supporting the
Lord’s work in the former Communist
countries.
May the Lord
continue to bless you all in every way
and give you many new souls this year.
Your brother in Christ,
Paul Cieslar
