The longer I am here, the more I am introduced to different topics I had never thought about before. One of those is a different look at Ministries that have a Business connected to them. As I was preparing to come to Poland, the thought really didn't cross my mind that Sweet Surrender was not only a ministry but also a business. In my head it was just a Ministry that sold stuff, if that makes since. But after being here, seeing the behind scenes of what it takes to actually run this Ministry/Business I have realized there is a whole lot more to it. Some coffee ministries have really awesome ministries, but not very good coffee. Then some have really REALLY awesome coffee, but barely keep it together on the ministry side. So as we look and see these facts, of coarse our goal is to be the best of both worlds (not only Hannah Montana has that problem) but from what I have seen it is a whole lot harder then it looks. Just like most things in life. Here at Sweet Surrender w...

The month of March has gone by so quickly, I am still unsure how to word all that has happened. The weeks leading up to this past weekend, was anything but relaxing. The days were filled with cleaning, many tram stops, grocery shopping in bulk, immigration papers, cleaning, being approved health wise to work in the shop, and of coarse more cleaning. Though the days were long and half of the time I was unsure what was happening, we still found time to have fun and soak up the comforting friends beside us. Friday morning started with a team meeting, that was such a sweet meaningful time and for me that really strengthened me for the weekend. I am SO thankful to have a strong team here in Krakow. We are all different in ages and in personality, but we all have the common call to serve in Krakow. As we sat around the bright comfy couches in the shop and prayed for each other and the crazy weekend ahead, I could not have been more thankful for the people God has placed in my life here. ...

This past Sunday was a huge day at Krakow Church of the Nazarene. We took in 13 members! It was so exciting to be apart of. These 3 families are so on fire and ready to see what God will do. To me though the best part of the day was after the membership time. Me & another one of the moms took the kids out to the room next door and had Kid's worship. This was the first Sunday that I lead. So I was a little nervous of how the kids would respond. The lesson was "How God is the ultimate Superhero". I asked them to think about there favorite superhero's and what there superpowers were. Then I taught them the always fun Hillsong Kid's song "Jesus is my Superhero." I went on Google translate (Love that site!) and translated the lyrics to polish, and the lady who was translating for me read each sentence after I read the same in English. This way they could understand what the song was about. They LOVED it! They thought the video was hilarious, and really ...
