Day One - Sweet Eddy and arriving in Poland
Dag… I hate airplanes! The trip from Newark to Frankfurt was like a torture chamber. I was in a window seat with the seat width made for 150 lb. man. (You can guess how much more I check in at). Anyway, it was worth it.
We arrived in Dresden and were greeted by Sweet Eddy. A little over six years ago Eddy was a member of the Polish Mob, a drug dealer, a drug user and a self described “very bad man.” He said - “Jesus, took hold of me and now I love Him.” He had us laughing and crying. What a sweetheart. At one point he looked over at me, and then around the van and said “I am so happy to be meeting new brothers and sisters. Before today we did not know each other, but now we are family.”
We are in very comfortable rooms at Pastor Marek’s ministry center. He has a vision of a ministry center in Poland that will reach into all of Eastern Europe, touching the lives of pastors and encouraging churches. We leave in an hour for a ministry to down-and-outers run by the church where Marek is a pastor. We are doing our best to stay awake so that we can get a good nights sleep (right now its 10:30 A.M. our time and 4:30 P.M. their time). We’ve been up since Monday evening at 5 P.M. when we boarded our plan for Germany. So we are pretty beat. Anyway, just thought I would touch base with Lamb. Peace, and pray for us…

I’m terribly jealous, but certainly not of your plane ride:) Rich and I are lifting you in our prayers- that God works through you as you are there ministering to “our family” and for the European Church at large.
