On Thursday morning, the Southport Presbyterian mission members departed for Krakow for a visit to Auschwitz and a day of shopping and sight seeing at the Krakow town square. The contingent of Mount Pleasant members spent the day visiting schools in Tomaszow, the Tomy Child Care Center and performed additional work at the Tomy Church.
Friday morning started with an american breakfast for the Tomy/PROeM staff prepared by the entire mission group. In a colorfully decorated dining room, pancakes, french toast, scrambled eggs, and biscuits and gravy.
Each of the Tomy/PROeM staff members were provided a gift, one from each mission member. Afterward, a second visit to the Tomaszow Public High School No. 2 was completed as promised, support and help provided at the Tomy Child Care Center and along with additionaly work at the Tomy Church.
From Kevin Behnke:
As we have worked throughout the week I have found great joy in Partnering with PROeM. The Things they are accomplishing and the vision they are casting is Phenomenal. Over the course of he week, relationships have formed both between he team and the local staff as we continue to share with the staff they share right Back. For instance, when I told Rafael my plan for this Post secondary plans, he quickly named off many key places and told me that he has visited chula vista several times. That is one example of many.
Along with Rafael, I have met Tomek "The Media Guru", Daniel "The Jester", and many more; one in particular Robert. Robert along with being a Jueto master, Youth Minister, Handy Man, and Husband, he is a Great Soccer Player. (A pickup soccer game was played Friday afternoon between some local young men and members of the Tomy and Mount Pleasant churches). As we got on the field, I wasn't expecting To Win or Come close. Why I say that is because as we all walked towards the field, the polish team we were going to play were already on the feild and were wearing various uniforms. At that point I basically thought That this game was going to be a joke and Decided to have fun with the Game. Our team filled out with star players such as Micheal Hinsely, John Baker, Robert All, Guy Quinenette, Maciek Moryn, Robert (from PROem), and Myself. We played hard We scored the first goal and held them off until the final minutes in which They Scored a Goal. We Settled it Quickly with a shoot-out. We ended up taking Home the Victory! Yay!
Through all of this I have been blessed with Great weather, fellowship, and Friendships. I hope Everyone can pull out as much From this Experience As I Have. It has been a blessing to serve along side everyone Here as well!!
