There was also a recap of last year’s Hope in Action project in Tomaszow, which included a video interview with that city’s mayor, who expressed his appreciation for the deeper blessing that came from the work done there. He described that it was not only the actual work that was done that made such an impact, but since then there is a change of attitude that he has seen in the people of his city, and they are now caring for the improvements done last year and making sure that they remain in good condition!

DAY 1
It was a dark and stormy afternoon. A shout rang out. A car door slammed. People were arriving in Sandomierz for Hope in Action!!
Over 100 volunteers have now arrived from Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, America, and from all over Poland, and after exploring to find their dorm style rooms in this vast school building, they all gathered for a light supper and community fellowship.
At the group meeting this (Sunday) evening, uplifting worship music was led by Exodus 15, a Polish Christian band. An encouraging devotion was shared on Luke 5… reminding those participating this week that God leads us to where he wants his work to be done, and he has led us all here to Sandomierz this week.

There is an excitement among the team here for what will be done this week. Please join us in praying for the city of Sandomierz this week, and the impact we will have through the projects and interactions with the people of this town.
