Today we went to Zakopane which is two hours south of Krakow in the Tatra mountains. The picture shows cheese vendors on the main strip.
Needless to say it was beautiful. After we left from there we went to a nearby village where a group of Roma (gypsy) live. We visited a family who are believers. They've gone through many heartaches. They've lost two infants and have a third son who is 3 months old but suffers from the same complications. The doctors don't know what it is. On paper they say he should be healthy but he's not. As new believers, the parents (Andre & Ola) are confused why God would allow this to happen but they know He has a plan. They asked us to pray for their son (Zachariah) and for their witness to fellow Roma in the village. Would you pray for them too? Also pictured with Erin is our Polish interpreter Mirka, who will be a missionary next year with her husband Andre to a remote part of Russia. Would you pray for them as they raise support?

What an awesome opportunity for you guys, not only being able to visit such beautiful countryside, but to be able to minister to families such as Andre and Ola with baby Zachariah. I can't help but think if he were here in the states, he might have a fighting chance...so heartbreaking. God does have a plan for them, I am sure, and if it be His will, Zachariah will not only survive but thrive...that is my prayer! Me and dad are so very proud of you and are so encourged when we get to see pictures of you in "action", and hear about your journeys. We know that God is already using you both in a mighty way. We love you both and hope to talk with you soon! Take care! Love, mom & dad
What a beautiful place!!! We will definitley be praying for Andre, Ola and baby Zachariah. It is hard to imagine such loss; we will pray for comfort, peace and confidence in our God.
We also pray that you have a fun Polish Thanksgiving as you celebrate God's goodness.
Much love,

Hey, guys. I don't know if anyone has gotten hold of you to let you know. I thought to get to your blog to leave the message. Beverly Foree passed away yesterday (Tuesday, November 27). The cause is not for sure yet, but it was thought to be a heart attack. Jennifer Timmons found her in the afternoon. I'll get more to you as I know it.--Jeff
