O Loving Father,
Thank you for the ways that you have used those trained at EST to build up the body and spirits of believers in Poland. We especially lift up with gratitude Second Baptist Church of Wroclaw and its ministers who are graduates of EST and continue to serve joyfully in an impoverished and needy community."The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."
Romans 5:5
Beloved Father,
Be with students and faculty from EST who are working in summer ministries, including camps for youth, children, and women and churches; Vacation Bible School clubs; community outreach and other missions. We pray you will also be with the seven youth from the Evangelical-Reformed Church in Poland as they visit the United States July 13-August 11. May the work of all of these groups be sacred, their energies unbounded, and the lives of those they touch be forever changed. May those of us in the United States seek to emulate such a spirit of service.
"Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others." Phillipians 2:4
Lord God,
Be with the women from the United States and the women from Poland who are participating in the annual Women's Camp in the mountains of Poland from July 18-25. We pray for the health of the campers and their families. Provide the women with the renewed strength, faith, and courage to live as women believing in You and reflecting You around them. As the polish women learn English, fill their hearts with the Scripture taught them that knows no language but Yours."I will left up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help? My help cometh from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth." Psalm 121: 1-2
Father of All,
We know you call some of us to go to the mission fields You have created, and others of us to support those who go. Be present in the hearts of those You have chosen to provide for those You have sent. Move them to be part of Your work in Poland by the sharing of their resources."And all that believed were together, and had all things in common." Acts 2:44
Oh Merciful and Omniscient God,
You are at this time preparing the hearts, minds and spirits of those who will travel from the United States September 2-9 to study and serve with your faithful servants at EST in Poland. Give each traveler the time to focus on You and prepare to be shaped and changed. Thank you for those in Florida and North Carolina who heard your still small voice and responded with a willingness to go."God be merciful to us and bless us, and cause Your face to shine upon us. That Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations."
Psalm 67: 1-2
Heavenly Father,
As missionaries from EST travel from their home countries of Germany, Switzerland, and the United States over the summer, keep them in Your loving care. Guide them as they seek support for Your work in Poland through EST and through them. Bless their families who serve You through them.
"The Lord bless thee and keep thee. The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee; the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee and give thee peace."
Numbers 6:24-26
Gracious and Loving God,
Be with Doug and Liz Searles, the first PCUSA missionaries to Poland. Bless their work in Lodz and throughout Poland. Give them strength and renewed energy for their summer work with youth and churches. Be with their family in the U.S. and those they have grown to love in Poland. Thank you for their faithfulness to You."If you abide in My word, you are my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8: 31-32
O Loving Father,
