Sean is working along Pastor Marcin, the pastor of the Baptist church in Olsztynek, a town about 15 miles south of Olsztyn. A small place has been located that we will be able to begin meeting in starting in November. There are 2 or 3 people in Nidzica waiting for baptism and for this new church to start! Keep praying for us as we work in this city during the fall and winter! (Let us know you prayed for us... stevenson@pobox.com)
We are working with the Baptist Church in Olsztyn to start work in the Gamina of Jankowo, north of Olsztyn. This is work being led by the local Baptist Church here in Olsztyn. Bryan Intemann from our team is working along with them and a national missionary from the church who is working to start groups and a new church in this area.

Pray for us as we continue to work with several exciting new prayer strategies that we are developing. We are currently working on the following strategies to get people excited about praying for the work here in NE Poland. (Let us know you prayed for us... stevenson@pobox.com)
- Adopt a city/city segment. So far we have 30 cities adopted by 60 people! This is a great start and Sean and Bryan are preparing more cities and recruiting more people to pray for these important cities throughout NE Poland.
- Virtual Prayerwalking on the Internet. We have placed four cities on our website that you may pray for. Please check out the new ones when they are posted.
Northeast Poland Prayer Network. Regularly and whenever an important need is known, you will receive an email with Team Northeast Poland requests. Just send an email to stevenson@pobox.com and let us know that you wish to receive their prayer request updates
Prayer Calendar. Many of you receive this calendar by email each month. You can request a copy by emailing us at stevenson@pobox.com or by downloading in from our homepage or Blog.
Please continue praying for all of Team NE Poland as they travel throughout Northeast Poland. Travel is very dangerous in Poland so please pray for them as they drive throughout the region. Those of you who have visited us here know how serious this request is! (Let us know you prayed for us... stevenson@pobox.com)
