Today we made a lot of progress on the wall. We have several teams of people working on the wall together and learning how to lay brick from those more seasoned than us and those that are still cleaning the brick so that we can even have a wall to put up.
We’ve had a neighbor that has been watching this summer and has seen the changes that have been happening in the cemetery. This man went and told his wife who works for the news station, and they are coming to the cemetery tomorrow to do a story on the work being done in the cemetery. Steven called the Jewish council to inform them of the opportunity but they have declined to speak so Steven will be speaking about the work that we are doing. Please pray for him as he has to be careful about the words that he chooses to use tomorrow but that many will see the work being done and that it will only be a testament to what our Father is doing.
Also, another neighbor saw the work that was being done and they invited some of our team over for tea and cookies. In the Polish culture, this is not a common occurrence for someone to open their home.
Tomorrow we are going to a Jewish synagogue in Warsaw for a service. Then on Saturday we are going to Treblinka to prayer walk and view what is left of the death camp.
Continue to pray for us as our time in Poland quickly comes to a close and we will be leaving early Sunday morning. Pray that our bodies stay strong and that our minds clear as we complete our tasks. We’ll see you when we get home and we’ll post some pictures when we get back as well.
