"No one has ever seen God; if we love one another God abides in us, and His love has become perfect in us" (1 John 4:12)
Magda and I enjoyed three special and blessed weeks with our brothers in the United States. First, we went to church in Hickory Corners, MI. There we felt a brotherly love that cannot be expressed in words, and our heart was moved to tears by their love. We stayed with several families and each family was a unique experience for us. I saw that they are busy with day-to-day work (from morning to evening), but when it’s time for church, they come to worship God. It is not a big church (they have 120 members), but they are people who love each other, and we were welcomed with love in their family.
Second, at the beginning of November I took part in the annual PIEI meeting in Chicago, IL. This was a special time for Magda and myself. I was impressed by the work of the PIEI organization around the world, in what wonderful ways God uses this organization for the salvation of lost souls. An intense work is done to support national missionaries. I realized that making a connection between a missionary and a church in the USA and maintaining this connection requires a lot of time and effort. Also the supported missionary in country must respond positively to maintain this partnership
I want to thank all those who made possible our visit to America, which was a dream come true for our family. May our Heavenly Father reward you with many blessings!
