Thanks for Praying

clip_image001We wanted to thank you so much for praying for today’s service and Tomasz’s sermon. Everything went well, people seemed to understand Tomasz’s Ukrainian, we felt God’s blessing on the whole service and even a guy who ALWAYS sleeps in church stayed awake for the whole sermon today

Tomasz preached on letting our lights shine ("Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven”) and after the service a young guy, about 25 years old, came to Tomasz and said that the sermon was about him (that he is hiding his light instead of letting it shine, for example at work). And this guy also wants to start meeting with Tomasz to talk about some of his life struggles and he also wants Tomasz to help him study the Bible. We are praising God for these opportunities and we are praying that God would work in mighty ways in this young man’s life.

Thanks so much for praying! You are such wonderful support to us!!!

Tomasz and Miriam Chmiel

PS: The picture was taken after the service. Hannah was so good during church! That too we count as a blessing since worship services and youth meetings are such a big part of our ministry here in Lviv and it’s great when all three of us can still be there.
