Dear Friends,

Sanok is a small depressed city in the southeast of Poland. This region has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country.

Many young people in Sanok have no hope for the future and attempt to escape reality through alcohol and drug use. Crazy mushrooms are one of the more popular drugs.

This is a punk area where there are very few born-again Christians, and because of this there is little chance of the people there ever hearing about Jesus.

I believe that God cries for these people and wants to build his kingdom in Sanok, starting with the young people who are thirsting for His truth. For me this is especially important because 11 years ago I was one of them, trapped in drugs and hopelessness.

I moved away 9 years ago and I want to go back and see my friends come to Jesus.

So about a year and a half ago, God began to show my wife and I that we should pray about working there in some way.

Then at the last Slot Festival (Steiger Jesus Festival) in Poland, a young person from Sanok gave his life to Jesus! Since then he and a small group of about 5 of his friends have been meeting together praying and studying the Bible in his home.

Now my wife and I are seriously considering moving to Sanok and planting a new church. That is why we are organizing a No Longer Music evangelistic concert in Sanok in June. I believe God wants to use the No Longer Music evangelistic concert to help launch a new church in Sanok.

Please pray about supporting this project! These people will not be able to hear about Jesus without your help.

Filip Pasek
Steiger Poland

Filip & Agnieszka Pasek are two young Polish church planters. (They just attended our Steiger Radical Evangelism School.) They plan to begin a new church in Sanok, Poland after our upcoming No Longer Music evangelistic tour.

I expect hundreds (perhaps thousands) will give their lives to Jesus during this evangelistic tour. We will be playing in cities throughout Poland in secular clubs and outdoor venues where Jesus is rarely proclaimed. So we are very concerned about taking care of those that give their lives to Jesus. That's why we work whenever possible with existing churches or plant new churches if necessary.

So pray for Jesus to move powerfully throughout Poland!

The Steiger Radical Evangelism School ended powerfully and many of the young leaders that attended are preparing to preach the gospel all over the world. The countries they will be working in include Brazil, India, Germany, Poland, United States, Australia and New Zealand.

Thank you again for helping to make it possible for many of these young evangelists to attend our Radical Evangelism School. It was a real time of equipping many young warriors for God's kingdom!

And again, pray that thousands respond during our evangelistic tour in Poland and that the new church Filip & Agnieszka are beginning is firmly established!!

For the lost,

P.S. I will talk about our German evangelistic tour in our next newsletter.
