| My older sister, Sarah, is getting married tomorrow. Happy wedding Sarah and Matt!! I am an usher and am reading a Scripture passage. In other news, according to http://ww2.howmanyofme.com/ , There are 0 people in the U.S. named Seth Heydinger. I do not know if this means that I do not exist or that I am actually an undercover spy. I was also comforted to know that more than 99.9 percent of people with the first name Seth are male. Horray for males named Seth. |

| The following is a report on Mission's Camp from Tim Good, WOL Poland director.
It was held in Szczecin & Lobez and these
churches were blessed beyond imagination. In six days of Street Evangelism with
our group of 49, we were able to see the gospel go out in a way that it never
has in these cities. In Szczein the pastor was amazed at how this evangelism
worked and it has opened up a whole new door and new excitement about spreading
the gospel. In Lobez, the pastor told us that there has never been an
evangelistic effort of this magnitude in 40 years! Literally the
entire town knew of our work and were talking and 260 people turned out
to watch the film in the evening. During the week, we were able to
witness as 116 made professions of faith in the Saviour, 513
heard the full gospel in a one-on-one conversation and 520 attended the gospel
films.
We thank the Lord for Grace Gospel Chapel, Del
& Maryann Benner and Robert Labbe for making it all possible! They all
sacrificed 10 days of their lives for eternal reasons and truly their reward is
awaiting them. I could tell many stories of how God worked in hearts but
perhaps the greatest is that of Luke. It was 3 years ago on the streets of his
town that we met him and he came to know the Saviour. He had planned for a
while to come to help in the camp but a few days before it started the spiritual
enemy threw some darts his way and for good reason, he was deciding whether to
come or not. In the end, The Lord gave him peace about coming but the enemy
still attacked and on the way on the train there were problems and they almost
didn't make it but God intervened and they arrived on Saturday evening. Then
the fun started! Every day on the street Lukasz was used of God to lead at
least one individual to the Lord...... so now we understand why Satan tried to
hinder him. God blessed and Luke has determined to keep doing this type of
evangelism with their youth group as he gets back home.
We truly cannot thank you enough for praying! It
seems that all of our requests were answered. Now we just wait to see how the
follow-up will go as the churches take care of this. Please pray for these
converts who are always hesitant to step into a new church that is not
Catholic.
We truly praise the Lord for a wonderful summer of
camps and we ask for your prayers now as the next month we will be in the states
for support and recruiting purposes. We also want to ask you to start to pray
earnestly for a "Youth Ministry Center". This is a must for our ministry as it
expands and we reach out to meet the needs of Polish young people. Please pray
for God to provide the proper place and for funds to come in to be able to get
it up and running. |

| This past week has been a time of relaxing and preperation for Mission’s Camp. I took a trip to see a little of the south part of Poland. We went to see a salt mine that is hundreds of years old. It is very big and it was incredible to see places that they were miting in the 1600’s and earlier. After that, we went to an old city called Krakow. It was a nice town with a big castle in it. We had a little car trouble, but everything worked out in the end. The next day we went to Auschwitz, the Nazi Concentration Camp. This was quite an expierence. With large trick buildings it looked like it could have been a college campus, but what happened at that place was terrible. I have heard of Auschwitz many times, but to actually be there and see just a part of what happened is far greater than hearing about it. There were huge piles of shoes and clothes that had been taken away from people that were prisoners there and I went and stood in one of the places where thousands of people were killed by gas. I thank God that this day has passed and that this is not going on today. We leave on Friday to the place that we are having the Mission’s Camp. There is a group of Americans doming for this camp from Pennsylvania. Please be in prayer for safety while travelling and for the Mission’s Camp. We will be sharing the Gospel on the streets of two cities and showing a Gospel film in the evening. Thank you all for your prayers and concerns. I will be coming back to the States after the Mission’s Camp on July 31. |

| It has been a while, things have been busy (but who has not been?). Anyway, I am officially a Word of Life missionary to Poland and as I write this I am in Poland. I really like it here, it is a nice country. I am excited about this summer and I really enjoy working with the missionaries here. I am taking lots of pictures and perhaps someday I will post them. It is almost 6 o'clock now, but here in Poland it is almost midnight so I am going to sleep. Good-night. |
