The harvest is ready - so what are you waiting for?

Jesus never told us to pray for the harvest, but for workers to go into the harvest-fields – for the harvest is already ready. In this newsblog I will try to summarise a little bit when it comes to what we are doing here in Poland and present one new harvest-worker that has joined the team.
NEW WORKER
At the beginning of February we got a new addition to the team here in Lublin – Svein Svendsen from Norway. He has been working with us before and it’s very good to have him back again. This time he plans to stay until summer.

The last period Svein was working here, he, Arnfinn and Michael went on a mission trip to Ukraine. During that trip, they got good connections to a pastor in Lviv. So, right after coming to Poland, Svein took a short trip to Lviv to follow up the things they had been doing there last time.

While being there he visited a hospital for sick children together with two girls from the church. They prayed for the children, sang and in a practical way showed the love of God. 

Both the girls often visit that hospital and together with friends and supporters from Norway Svein was able to bless them with some financial support, which will help them make the situation better for the children.

In Matthew, chapter 25 Jesus is talking about the sheep and the goats. In this story Jesus criticized the "goats" for not caring for the sick – In other words, bringing hope to those children is an important job. 

We hope to arrange a mission trip to Lviv later, where we can bring more people and at the same time do evangelism.
WHAT ARE WE DOING?
​After Svein came, we have started with the daily gatherings again. Even though we're a small team, it is good to get together to pray for Europe, Lublin, and for the work other Nations Calling missionaries are doing.

ICFL (International Christian Fellowship Lublin)​
​International Church is a church for internationals living in Lublin. Together with a Baptist minister, we started this work right after we moved here. Most of the people that come are students, but there are also others. 


Kościół Centrum (Centrum Church)
​Last year, together with some other Polish people, we started a new church here in Lublin. This project fills quite a bit of time, but it is inspiring to see a new fellowship taking form. Right now we are about 30 people gathering every Sunday, we have an active children's church and home groups.

The Antioch Bible school
Every third weekend we gather about 18 people from different churches in the Lublin region to have a Bible school weekend. These students are being trained to function in the gifts of the Spirit and encouraged to fulfill the call God has on their lives. One of those students is already planning to start a new fellowship in Vienna, and in June we will visit her there.

Street Church
One Saturday a month and every Friday, Hosanna (a local church) has an outreach to the poor and homeless here in Lublin. This is a big work that requires much coordinating effort. We help with collecting the food that is donated from different shops, preaching at both the Saturday and Friday gatherings and with playing.

Encouraging local churches
​We also regularly visit other local churches to encourage and strengthen them. Because at the moment we don't have so many workers we don't do this as often as before, so pray that the Lord of the Harvest will send out more workers. On the picture to the left you can see Svein sharing a testimony in a small church in a town called Krasnystaw

Mission trips
A couple of times every year we try to arrange trips to other countries. We regularly go to Hungary to help on a bible school for Gypsies, Svein has just been to Ukraine, and now in April we will go to South Sudan to train new preachers and have a crusade. Also last year we had a trip to South Sudan, and on this trip, we will try to follow up on the work we did there last year.
