hey everyone!
It's been a busy three weeks since I last sent an update about how everything was going here. We have been getting ready for our first group of the summer that I will be directly working with. They are on their way and will be here tomorrow. We will be starting new work in a town called Pruszków. Also these past couple of weeks, I have finished up my language classes until the summer is over. And I am also waiting on my 2 year visa decision as well. So you can definitely be lifting those up to our Father.
I want to share a couple of things that God has reminded about today. We went to Pruszków to tie up some loose ends with the government office (since they own the cemetery instead of the Jewish community) and also to confirm some things. Well one praise at first is that Steven was able to meet with the Vice president of the town and was able to get a set of keys to the cemetery and gave us permission to do what the Jewish community was asking us to do. When we got into the Jewish cemetery, we were trying to open one of the doors to a building there. I'm guessing it hadn't been opened in a while because the key wasn't wanting to turn the whole way. So anyways after some time we just started praying to God that we would be able to get it open and maybe a couple of seconds later it was open. That just really reminded me about how God is with us all the time and cares about everything that we are doing to the detail.
As we were looking at the wall that we are going to be repairing, the neighbors to the cemetery show us and started talking to us about the cemetery. They live right on the other side of where we would need to be working. If you don't know Polish culture, that in itself is huge because most (high 90 percent) are closed off. Anyways, long story short they have given us permission to come on there property to work if needed. So we are praising God for that. I am also praying that we will have more contact with them and that they will be able to see something (Christ) in us as we work and serve the Jewish community and maybe that we would get a chance to share Christ with them in a more personal way as well. God is so so good!!
Prayer Request:
Thank You for all that you do for me in the Spiritual realm here as it means so much to me and also does soo much as well. Thanks. Look forward to hearing from some on you and hope that you all are well.
walking with HIM,
JM
p.s I will be without internet while the group is here but I will get back to you if you have any questions or comments. Thanks ya'll.

John Mark,
I love ya man. I appreciate all that you are allowing the LORD to do through you. You are a great example and friend. I do pray that this opportunity will lead to people seeing the newness of Christ in you. Remember: Proclaim the gospel, and use words only if you have to. You are remembered and loved.
