Dear Family & Friends,
Greetings from sunny Florida! As many of
you know, I am finishing my third semester
at Asbury Theological Seminary working
towards a Master’s in Christian Leadership.
Some of you partnered with me last year
when I joined a team from my church on a
mission trip to Jamaica. Throughout this
seminary journey, God has placed a desire
to pursue missions more seriously. After
that trip, I began to seek God’s will as to
my role in the missional world.
I came to Romans 15:20-21 where Paul
talks about following God’s plan to go out
and share with those who have not heard
the name of Jesus Christ. This passage got
me thinking and praying for unreached
people of our world.
This pressing on my heart led me to discover
the Edge program. It is a Summer ministry
of Pioneers that specifically focuses on the
forgotten peoples of the world. I will be
going to Poland for 10 weeks serving
alongside long-term missionaries. My team
will be reaching out to the young adults of
Poland by ministering in practical ways,
learning their language, engaging in the
local culture and through relational
evangelism.
Poland’s national identity was once strictly
Catholic; it now takes a more humanistic,
godless perspective, as more Poles describe
themselves as Catholic-Atheists. This
generation is searching for people who will
show them faith instead of telling them
about it. This summer, I will be able to do
that. I am so excited about what God is
doing in Poland.
Pray for Poland
…And when Christ begins to have rule in your life, he calls
you not to retreat from the world, but to be present in the
world in a very particular way-- through service, sacrifice,
and life-giving love of Jesus Christ.

I’m heading to Poland!
My ambition has
always been to
preach the Good
News where the
name of Christ has
never been heard,
rather than where a
church has already
been started by
someone else. I have
been following the
plan spoken of in the
Scriptures where it
says:
“Those who have never been told about him
will see, and those who have never heard of
him will understand.” Romans 15:20-21
(NLT)
I am praying that He will use me for His glory while I am there. Will
you partner with me to bring the love of Christ to the young people of
Poland? I need your support. Your prayer is essential to my journey; it
is the most powerful way for you to influence Poland with me.
 Pray that God would be glorified through lives in this country.
 Pray that spiritual strongholds of unbelief will be broken down.
 Pray for the details for this trip to come together as I trust God
to provide for my financial needs.
 Pray that God would daily fill me and my team with His grace,
courage, love, endurance, and effectiveness in communication as
I encounter new challenges and build friendships this summer.
If you feel led to support me financially, the cost for this trip will be
approximately $5000. You can make a tax-deductible donation in my
name directly to Pioneers using the enclosed envelope and support slip.
Contact me to be added to my E-newsletter list for updates and
prayers. I am so grateful for your spiritual and financial support. With
you, together we respond to the great commission of Christ, until the
whole world hears.
Fully Alive in Christ,
Lauren
