EST Student Prayers

 My family includes my wife and children – two daughters, and two sons from my first marriage.  The boys don’t live with me though but they come practically every weekend to my house to spend time together.  My wife is a Christian and she supports my ministry and me.  I have a full-time job but I’m also a pastor.  Lately we have been encountering difficulties as a family and we need a lot of prayer, wisdom in raising children from two marriages; financial matters; we need a larger apartment and also a larger church building.

Studying at EST, I am learning to see other faces of Christianity.  By interacting with people from various walks of life and with different outlooks I can appreciate diversity in the church and see that God does not favor anyone.  I want to take full advantage of EST program. Please pray that God will continue to open my eyes to more issues and that I may see God working in new ways. At the moment the scholarship is of key importance.  I am having financial difficulties and most likely I would not be able to continue my studies at EST without it.  I have a business and in the last six months the economic situation hasn’t been good and affected my business.  I publish and distribute Christian literature.

I am a pastor of a small home church and we are talking about getting a facility where our ministries could take place (children and youth ministries, bookshop, and café).  As I have a full-time job I am limited as to how much I can do as a pastor.  Combining the two is my greatest challenge.  Please pray for:  wisdom in leading the church so that it has impact on the community; church facility, that God may open the right doors; and co-workers. This summer we are planning to organize a few evangelistic events (concert with performance and evangelistic message) in my city and most likely in two other cities with help of a visiting youth group and their leader.  ADAMCZAK Tadeusz; Age: 41.
