Dear Friends,
Greetings from our village of Piasek, Poland.
Yesterday my oldest brother Tadeusz went to be with the Lord. He was 68 and his funeral will take place on Tuesday. Tomorrow we will go 727 kilometers by car to reach the town of Kolobrzeg where he lived in the north of Poland. Please pray for the funeral message I am to give. Tadeusz received the Lord 50 years ago and left his four adult children. Pray for his wife and for the families of his children.
Thank you for praying for my visit in Germany last weekend. It was so good to spend time with Sebastian and Georgina and their support team. They continue the ministry in Central Europe after we left it last year. God is blessing them richly. I also preached the Word in their church near Passau, Germany.
Yesterday I preached at the wedding of Michal and Ewelina in the church in our village in Poland. Today in the morning I preached again in the same church.
Today in the evening we took part in the ProChrist Evangelistic Meeting with Ulrich Parzany, Those meetings take place in the biggest sport center in Katowice, south of Poland. We saw hundreds of people declaring that they want to receive the Lord. During those meeting until next Sunday Konrad our son in law is having an exhibition of the CEF literature.
Next Friday I plan to go to Kyrgyzstan where I will be teaching the Epistle to Galatians during the CEF Leadership Training Institute. We have 18 students from 7 countries in Central Asia and Caucasus. Pray that God will use me to encourage each of them. While in Kyrgyzstan I will also be preaching in Kyrgyz and Russian churches.
Pray for my preparations for the visit to USA in the end of April and the beginning of May. I will be sharing God’s Word with the CEF Regional Directors in Asheville. What a privilege and responsibility. Pray that I will be able to encourage them. Together with my son Bogdan I will also take part in the CEF International Conference. It will also be my joy to visit some of our friends and churches there.
On May 18 I will be preaching in Oswiecim (Auschwitz) and later in May I plan to go to the Ukraine and Hungary.
Please, continue to pray for our daughter Dorota as she will become a mother very soon! Thank you again for praying for us!
In Him
Czeslaw and Helena Bassara
