God stops the rain

OM International

English/Espanol

Sunday August 24 marked a special day for those who had been healed by God and delivered from alcoholism through OM's work in Poland, and a baptism celebration near a lake was set to take place. The day before, however, the weather turned stormy and the forecast promised rain and wind, with storm warnings. This worried many of the people, as an unpredicted storm had killed several and destroyed homes all over Poland just a week earlier.

Nevertheless OM Poland Country Leader Arek Delik remained cool and reminded everyone that God had everything under control. When they woke up on Sunday morning the sun was shining and there was no sign of rain at all. The group wasted no time and marched joyfully to the lake with family and friends. Amazingly, soon after the baptisms were over the sky darkened and torrential rain poured down.

Praise God for the baptisms. Praise God that He held the rain off long enough to celebrate those who had made decisions of faith. Please pray for the continued work in Poland and for the OM workers there.
 

DIOS DETUVO LA LLUVIA

El domingo 24 de agosto fue un día especial para aquellos que fueron sanados por Dios y liberados del alcoholismo a través del trabajo de OM en Polonia, y se dispuso la celebración de un bautismo cerca de un lago. El día anterior, se había tornado tormentoso y el pronóstico del tiempo anunciaba lluvia y viento, con amenaza de tormenta. Esto preocupó a muchos puesto que una tormenta inesperada había matado a varios y destruido hogares en toda Polonia la semana anterior.

Igualmente, Arek Delik, obrero de OM, mantuvo la calma y les recordó a todos que Dios tiene todo bajo control. Cuando se despertaron el domingo por la mañana, el sol brillaba y no había ni señales de la lluvia. El grupo no perdió tiempo y marchó gozoso junto a familiares y amigos rumbo al lago. Asombrosamente, poco después de que la celebración de bautismo terminó, el cielo se oscureció y calló una torrencial lluvia.

Alaba a Dios por la celebración de bautismo. Alábale por haber detenido la lluvia el tiempo suficiente para que los que habían tomado decisiones de fe fueran bautizados. Por favor ora por la continuación del trabajo en Polonia y por los obreros de OM allí.

    Youth ministry is a great challenge in Poland.
    Even though Poland is a predominant Roman Catholic country, Christianity doesn’t mean anything to most of the young people, except it’s a ‘tradition’ to stick with. And it simply doesn't have anything relevant to the teens’ unique situation, to help them to grow in their relationship with Jesus.

    Our desire is to see the teens develop a true friendship with Jesus
