Wheatland Salem Church and Video Link

We met at Wheatland Salem Church today for the 11:00 service. Piotr and his daughter were in from Poland. The American team: Pam, Josh, Randy, Cathie, Emma and I were able to make it. Diane was in California looking at colleges for her son. Emma was so cute. She handed everyone a black-eyed susan. It was almost like it was a sign from God that we were together again. One branch with many leaves (or flowers!!). We are all God's family.

My daughter, Callie, put together a short video of some of the highlights of our experiences with the children at our Christian English camp. She put many hours of time into the 4 minutes that was the final cut. There were so many pictures, videos and memories...it was hard to choose as the camp held different experiences for each person.

Here is a link if you would like to watch it.

She reads the blog...so please comment if you like it!!

Even after a month ,the mission trip still feels so fresh. I feel so connected to both the American and Poland teams. (Modern day e-mail and facebook really helps.)

The trip made me realize we are all one church under one God. It doesn't matter what building we worship in or what language we speak. We are all God's children. Hopefully, I have made an impact on at least one child in the camp. Maybe it would be something I said or did that will make them stop and think.

It is my hope that next year I will be able to be part of this wonderful team again.
God will provide. I just hope it will help me make it to the other side of the ocean!

My hope for all of you who have followed our blog that you were able to follow our day to day activities with us. I know you have all supported us with your prayers throughout. Maybe we have touched your life somehow. Maybe you would like to join the team next year. If you would like more information on how you can do just that please don't hesitate to contact us. We would be more than happy to talk to you.

Prayerfully yours,

Judy

Was This Just A Dream?

We have not written for awhile…getting everyone home took top priority.

The last day began with classes for every level. Our level played Jeopardy, which was a big hit. It was a fun review for the children. After snack, all the campers gathered for class presentations in the dining hall.

Level One read the story of The Lion and the Mouse. They had beautiful illustrations most likely made by talented Maryisa.

Level Two read the story of Noah’s Ark, complete with American Sign Language.

Level Three presented an entertaining video they made broadcasting camp news later in the evening.

The children were surprised to find out they could have free time for the second learning session so the American team could furiously pack many suitcases and bags with all our classroom supplies. One very special camper, Emelia, graciously helped us.

Our tie-dyed pillowcases were rinsed and hung this sunny morning. What a colorful sight they made hanging on the improvised line, strung by Josh. Thanks to all who donated the pillowcases. The children were very excited with their creations.

Diane, Pam, Josh, and Judy rewarded themselves on the first sunny afternoon without rain with a ski lift ride to the top of one of the ski resorts for a delightful view of the charming villages nearby. When we were surprised by a light rain on the way down the lift it didn’t bother us at all.

Evening arrived all too soon. Piot, said he did not recognize the children so he went around the circle and asked who they were. It was a costume party! Some of the favorites were; The Babuska Grandma’s, James Bond, Roaring Twenties Twins, Little Red Riding Hood, with her grandma and the wolf, mime, with our master of ceremonies Lukasz took center stage with his rendition of a babka from another country. He was most entertaining!

Randy led our worship playing the guitar and singing. The children readily joined in. They then praised God joyously again with their favorite song/videos. A video photo collage presentation by Lukasz led to laughter and tears as we prepared to say our good-bye’s. The boys and girls had a chance to dance and sign books, shirts, pillowcases, with signatures of their new friends.

The next morning many of the children stumbled out of bed at 6:30 a.m. to send off part of the American team. There were hugs and tears as the van left with the children running down the dirt road after them.

Pam, Josh, and Randy left for Germany. They had a five hour layover so they took a bus to the city of Frankfurt. It was much easier than they anticipated. They were able to eat lunch and take in a little sight-seeing. It was much better than sitting in the airport. Cathie and Emma took a flight to London to visit some relatives and friends before making their final trip back to Chicago.

Diane and I were taken to Krakow for a few more days so we can officially become tourists. More importantly, I wanted to visit the town of my grandfather’s birth just two hours away. Lukasz, Piot’s son was hired to translate for us. Edward, a member of Piot’s church drove Diane and me east to the Wies (village) of Gebiczyna. The very narrow and winding roads were beautiful. Edward and Lukasz were as excited as I. They were pretending they were on a scavenger hunt. To our amazement, the village only had one “store” about the size of small bait shop, and one church. Diane and I both were in awe of the scenery. Our car climbed into a hilly, pine forested area and emerged onto rolling farm lands overlooking pastures and crops. We kept traveling down the dirt roads and asked someone at the first house we saw if they knew of any one with the surname of Podraza. Yes! They did and it was only the next house away. We walked down the street and over a hill and knocked on the door. An old lady answered, our interpreter Lukasz, talked the fastest Polish I have ever heard. The lady, Danuta, smiled and told him I would be her cousin!! We took her back into the car to the first people and found out they were also my cousins. I couldn’t believe my feet touched the ground where not only my grandfather walked but also my ancestors.

My grandfather, Jakub Podraza lived in a log cabin on the very soil I was walking on…how cool is that?? We were invited in for tea and wafers. The air was filled with excitement as everyone tried talking at once. I now have living, breathing family I will keep in contact with in Poland!

The team has really been blessed to experience this trip. God has truly been part of our mission teaching children the English language so they will have better opportunities in our ever changing world. Piot has been an amazing pastor not only to us but to the children.

Thank you for all your prayers and donations to this wonderful cause. We hope you have been able to see Poland through our eyes and experience the wonders of God’s beautiful world.

Dzjenkuje!

God's Whisper

Thursday, July 7, 2011

                My name is Mary. I am one of the Polish leaders supervising the camp (probably one of the youngest ;). I must admit this is my first time, but I also have to agree that I really enjoy it. I love teaching. I think children have a great potential, and they haven’t disappointed me this time. I am of the opinion that if we approach them skilfully they may achieve so much that they will be surprised themselvesJ.

                When I look at them, something from the past comes to my mind. A few years ago a young girl came on the stage. Confused, stressed… but happy… . She was supposed to sing a song selected by herself. The title she chosen was “Dreams (do) Come True”. The message of the song was so powerful for her, she felt she can change others’ attitudes by making them familiar with it. She wasn’t the greatest singer in the contest. She did not win any prize,  but after the performance she kept smiling to herself remembering the verses of the song and believing they are true -so deeply. She did not have an outstanding choreography. Filled with self-consciousness she barely could stand on her feet (making mechanical steps from one side to the other) like a pendulum.

              The message conveyed to audience was her prize. The hope that maybe at least one person in the whole room will stop and think for a little longer about his or her dreams and the way to make them come true. She was aware of the fact that not all of them can become reality, but she enjoyed thinking about them anyway (and then….).

                It happened that the young girl was called Mary. And… yes, that was meJ.  Now I am at Christian Language Camp, here, in Białka Tatrzańska (and suddenly) where some of my dreams came true….those which I thought about singing that song years back. I got to know wonderful, faithful /trustworthy people, always eager to help and smiling even when the rain annoys everybody and when tiredness, flu and cold overwhelmed us.  I found unforgettable friends here. I must say the day after tomorrow is going to be not necessarily wet because of rain but because of tears…

                Another dream that came true is the fact that I could communicate in language I am so passionate about. What is more, I could develop my teaching skills through (thanks to) the cooperation with Pam. I feel we taught each other many things, from attitude to techniques used during lessons. But most importantly, we have built a bound with the students we have been teaching. Even though these were only 2 weeks,  I bet not only me but also Pam will miss the kids.

                Another dream was the ability to have  a closer relationship with God. To let Him speak through various things and people.  I don’t know why I lost my dialogue with God. I think before this camp my prayer was mostly monologue. Now I have been listening and waiting for an answer whether it be through other people or signs.  Now after experience a real friendship with God and others, after seeing God in each pair of the eyes of the leaders on our team, I realized He is there all the time with us. He is speaking and acting through us…Let us give Him the opportunity to use our eyes, our mouth, hands and hearts to make the world better. To make others believe that what happens around us is meaningful.

                Now I have the feeling that God waves to us and whispers to us all the time. With every rain drop coming down from the sky. He looks at us with the sunshine. He touches us with the mild wind. He talks to us whenever we stop for a while and find quiet in our heart  in order to listen to our inner voice. Let’s enjoy the beauty he created and let’s help Him develop the greatness of it not only in our lives but also in the lives of others.

                Today’s day was wonderful. It was the sunniest day of the camp. The moment I opened my eyes I screamed with joy  seeing the sunshine filling my room.  “God bless the sun.” Thank you for listening to our prayers about the weather. It gave us an opportunity to conduct our lesson in a bit different way than usually—outside at the river—close to nature and to God. The kids really enjoyed that lesson. They also enjoyed the evening a lot. Today we organized a Mini Playback Show. The children were presenting mainly dancing. They were dressed up and they really did their best. It was a wonderful day. Thank you Lord for this day. Thank you once again for the friendships, experiences and adventures the camp provided me with. Thank you for the great power and enthusiasm in the hearts of our American guests who made it possible to make our dreams come true and to give students an opportunity to take part in one of the greatest camps In Poland or even Europe or the whole world.

Witam wszystkich (blogowiczówJ)!

July 6 by Randy

Only a few days left.

Would you believe it has rains EVERY day we've been here? Thus, many of the activities I was looking forward to didn't happen. Instead we were couped up in the "house" all day. But this has not een a necessarily bad thing as we've been happy to get to know one another better.

We were able to do the kite making tonight, which seems to be a success - though with the wet conditions and lack of wind- was an untried experiment in practicality. They can take them home to try them if the weather doesn't improve.

Also, the halls of the lower level reverberated with the sounds of mallet striking tools as the kids their leather crafts.

On a lighthearted note, upon arrival, we'd heard the camp dog's name was "Chopek". Conveniently, after about 10 days we were informed by our hosts that we'd been pronouncing the name wrong. His name should be said, "ChAHpek". Nice to know that we'd been hollering his name throught the streets of town incorrectly the whole time...especially when you consider that the incorrect pronunciation was the name of a butt medicine. Those crazy Americans.


Hard to believe two weeks are almost gone.....

Polska Perspektywa

Czesc!

As somebody has already mentioned, I was supposed to post my thoughts on this fine blog to give you a glimpse of how the Polish team sees things and how important the presence of the American team is to us.

The last few days have been pretty tough for everybody here. A couple of us have felt sick after our excursion to the swimming pool and at some point I personally felt like running out of gas, as the weather stayed merciless and kids kept being restless. Still, one of the first things I got once I realised my sickness meant missing some of the activities, was a deep feeling of disappointment and eagerness to leave the bed. It made me realise that every minute with these wonderful kids and leaders is dear to my heart.

In the face of the indisposition of some of us, the Americans were ready to jump right in and help us in spite of the fact that they still had to prepare their own classes. By the way, I suspect Pam, Diane and Judy of being cyborgs, since they used to be still up everytime I was going to bed in the middle of the night. The amount of heart everybody puts to this camp is remarkable, which brings us to the very crucial question that Pam and me kept asking ourselves as veterans at the camp (it's my eleventh time already!).

What keeps us coming back each year? God, people and the unique atmosphere were the answers we both agreed upon. As a young kid, I always appreciated that one factor that made the camps organised by Peter stand out among hundreds of camps organised in Poland, namely the feeling of being important and genuinely cared for. Today Peter gave us all a beautiful example of dedication and sincerity. Being locked inside a building (the rain is relentless!) serves as a great opportunity to observe the kids both in they relations to us and to each other. It was only today that some of us realised, independently of each other, how important the kids were to us and how much concerned we were about what influenced their minds and spirits, as we discovered many of them listened to foul music and behaved in a very improper way when they thought we weren't keeping tabs on them. In reponse to that, Peter preached to them during our daily worship, but instead of accusing them of doing wrong, he stressed the importance of the fates of each and one of them to us (it would be to hard for me to repeat all of his words, especially since I believe they were truly inspired by the worship songs we had sang). Anyway, what is of utmost importance is the way his speech affected the kids. Some of them seemed moved, some seemed to be happy that they are actually being cared for, and I can only guess that some of them felt remorseful, but not guilty. I think this is the thing that made me stick to these camsp as a kid and then decide to come back here and strive to become a true leader for t kids - each time you care for somebody and voluntarily do something for them, there's a huge chance that they will do the same for somebody else. I believe that people who have been leading these camps throughout the years (both from Poland and the US), have showed me some of the best examples of how to live my life "for the joy of the Lord". May it stay that way.

All in all, the whole Polish team wants to thank our American friends for all prayers and material support. It's priceless. Keep praying for the weather to get better, because we would all love to use the two remaining days to the maximum!

Dziekujemy, and may God bless you all.

To Be Blessed

The Poland and American teams meet each morning for reflection and prayer let by Piotr, our camp director, and pastor of his own church in Krakow. He prayed from his heart and asked us to take today and bless someone and to do something nice for that person.

Since it was our first day back to English lessons, we surely were going to need as many blessings as we could get! The children rose to the occasion and were very good...maybe the children were just tired.

Ms. Diane was a guest speaker and went to the Level III classroom all dressed as nature guide. She taught about tracking forest animals by the way they hop, leap, waddle or walk. Did you know, Poland does not have chipmunks? Or as least the children don't think so.

Ms. Pam's class played a competitive game of Jeopardy, which reviewed all the topics we have covered so far. The children brought sunshine inside with posters of the sun and listed things that make them happy.

Ms. Judy held down the fort in the Lever II room while Ms. Diane was upstairs and taught the Our Father prayer in sign language. She also had the children draw a sun and list things that made them happy and played some games. The children played restaurant and used their English skills as they pretended to be waiters and customers. It was very comical!!

We kicked off Carnival Night with a video that Randy and Cathie selected. It was about the American nation and words of wisdom from leaders throughout history. The children went to booths to enjoy face and hand painting, bozo shoes, crush-a-cup, photo booth, cookie eating contest, craft table and finger crochet bracelets. The children enjoyed winning prizes and having fun with their friends.

We are truly blessed not only by Piotr but by everyone here.

We thank God for all He has done for us.

Pam, Judy and Diane

Happy Fourth of July to America!

We celebrated 4th of July by taking the day off. The children got to go to the indoor aqua park, while the American team was taken by bus to a nearby town of Zakopone. The children had a blast in all the water. The Poland team came back exhausted. In fact, Luckasz, who was supposed to write this post came down with a terrible cold. We hope he feels better soon you can read "through the eyes" from someone from the Poland team.

The American team dashed in and out of the rain in Zakapone, but was able to take a tram to the top of a mountain. We saw spectacular views even though the tops of the mountains were hidden by dark rain clouds.

We kicked our evening worship with the American team singing our National Anthem. The children returned the favor with a rousing rendition of their Polish Anthem. It was a very touching moment. They have only been free from Communism for 23 years.

A short post because we need the rest.

Parent Day at Camp

We proudly welcomed the parents at camp today. Students were able to spend the morning and early afternoon with their parents. They shared such activities as going to church, swimming at a nearby pool and going shopping to stock up on supplies for their rooms! The formal program began in the late afternoon. Parents, children, leaders and teachers all joined together in the dining hall to sing, play games, and share classroom performances. Ms. Pam and Marysia’s level 1 class assembled onstage to perform the song “This is the Day that the Lord Has Made” including their own hand motions. Ms. Diane announced the level 2 performance, and Ms. Judy helped the children sing “Trading My Sorrows” complete with sign language. Mr. Randy played guitar as his and Ms. Cathie’s level 3 class sang “America the Beautiful” in honor of the 4^th of July which is tomorrow! Following these performances, parents were able to visit the classrooms. All classrooms were adorned with posters packed with information about each student and their experiences at camp. It was amazing to meet to parents of these wonderful children and celebrate their accomplishments. The parent visits ended with sharing a meal of kielbasa that was out of this world!

Earlier in the day…

One of the rewards of doing foreign missions is the opportunity to learn about the history and culture of the country. Upon the request of Diane, Judy, Randy and Cathie, Piotr kindly arranged our bus driver Stanislaus to drive us to the town of Oscwiecim to visit the memorial museums of Auschwitz and Birkenau. Pam, who had been there before, kindly watched Emma and Josh assisted. The rolling hills of farms and villages with red and green roofed homes, clustered around a central church, dotted the countryside. Yet it must be remembered, the terrible strife that affected the Polish people during Nazism and Communism not so long ago.

Walking into Auschwitz made us feel like we were walking back into time. There was no sun; the day was dreary with intermittent heavy rains. How can people treat other people like herds of cattle? In most places, cattle are even treated with more respect. We imagined, through the voice of the guide, the door of the gas chamber shutting on us just like it was to the millions of Jews, Poles, and other European people so many years ago. To be stripped of not only clothing, but to be humiliated was beyond our comprehension. Walking through the barracks sent chills down our spines. These people surely have already had their crosses to bear and are in the highest level of heaven.

A Day of Many Talents!

"Oh no! Diane it's quarter after....I have to go to the classroom", Judy said. "Okay, I will be there in 10 minutes...."said Diane.

Where is Diane???? She missed breakfast thinking it was quarter past seven! All day Diane asked, "What time is it?" We might have to buy her a watch!

Today teaching was a little bit rocky for the classrooms. The children had it set in their minds they did not have "school" since it was Saturday. The day off will be Monday with a trip to the Aqua Park for them....I think they expended all their energy already today.

I would like to share a great moment I had in teaching today. The children were making a page for their booklet on one of three topics: Food, Sports or Fashion. They were to take magazine pictures pertaining to their chosen topic, glue them and also identify in English the picture. One shy girl asked me, "What it is?" I asked her say it in an English sentence. She put her head down and started to struggle. I helped her and said the words I wanted her to say and asked her to repeat it. She said the sentence very slowly..." Please tell me what this is? Them a great big smile came on her face! She just spoke her first sentence in English!! She then repeated it again also using the word fruit in it. Just seeing her smile made this trip all worth it. It actually made the hair stand up on my arms. What a magical moment! God is good!

Piotr said, "Come outside and you will see the neighbor's daughter's ceremony before her church wedding" . What a great opportunity to be part of Polish tradition....if only at a distance. I took some pictures and videos. The people were dressed in traditional dress of the region. It was very exciting to be paparazzi for a few minutes.

Pam, Diane, Josh and I took a walk in the drizzle to town. It was fun conversing with people and saying Dzien Dobry! (which means good day.)
Generally, the polish people are very subdued unless you know them personally, but if you just smile and make eye contact with them, they are more than happy to return your smile and greeting. We were able to see snow on the Tatra mountains in the distance. They were majestic, just as God wanted them. The world He created is full of wonders. I am so very fortunate to have this opportunity to visit my grandparents homeland.

On another note, it was Talent Night at the camp. There were a lot of laughs as the children performed skits, and musicals. Marysia, a member of the Polish team and her fiance' Mariusz, danced to a melody of songs. Maryisia's beautiful blue dress swirled as she looked lovingly into Mariusz's eyes. Magda sang a solo performance of "Let It Be", by the Beatles, Randy was a big hit playing his guitar with a medley of songs, bringing down the house with "La Bamba", Marta O. gave a little performance of her ju jitsu talent. Then Lukasz announced " it time for some adorableness", and litte Emma appeared on stage in her blue princess gown. She demonstrated ballet and acted out an animal story coached by her mother, Cathie. The American team presented the finale' The Doctor is In". Josh had the sneezes, Pam had a cold, Judy was throwing up, Diane had the itches and Randy was pregnant.....we will let you take it from there.

Dobronoc!

It's Raining, It's Pouring (Again)....But We Are Fashionable Today!!!!

Even though the rain continues, it is not dampening the spirits of the leaders or the campers. Friendships are developing between the children and leaders alike. We enjoy the formal time we spend together and the little moments in passing.

The middle level class, under the direction of Diane and Judy, made their modeling debut today. It was to be a simple classroom activity to learn clothing vocabulary. Children donned simple props: an apron, belt, scarves, hats, bandanas, a robe and a belt. Enthusiasm mounted as we learned that the other classes wanted to attend our fashion show. Before long, 54 children assembled in the dining hall to hear announcers describe the unique qualities of their model's clothing. We had the beautiful princess Emma escorted by her lovely mother Cathie. We had Dominika from India in her Sari; Maks from Africa in Safari wear; high fashion Karolina from Italy; Kamila with her beautiful dress and Japanese fan; darling Kinga in her apron with matching bandana; and Marta the pirate. The student's personalities are blossoming, and we all are drawing closer together in friendship and love.

We dined on  mystery meat at dinner today. We found out later that it was chicken meatloaf with eggs cooked in the middle. It is like suddenly discovering a hard boiled egg in the middle of your loaf. (Maybe you would need to see it!) When you slice it, you get a slice of egg in the center of your meat. Randy made the astute observation that the chicken and the baby are reunited in death.

Those of you who know me (Pam), know that I am prone to get migraines. Well today was the day! Days like today make me really appreciate having the love and care of those around me. I am so appreciative of the wonderful team we are part of here this year. Everyone works well together and steps in however and wherever needed. I am so thankful!

As always, thank you for your prayers!
Pam and Diane (With our team)

"What Day Is It?" - Thursday June 30/Friday July1

"What day is it?" asked Pam as we went for an afternoon walk during our free time. An honest question when each day rolls into another with a similar schedule and when we have been housebound for most of the camp so far.(I'm starting to hear Rain, Rain Go Away in the background). So with a break in the clouds, the American team (minus Emma and Randy who napped instead) went for a walk through the village and up a hill to get a glimpse of the Tatra Mountains peaking out of the clouds. The hotel dog, Chopek, accompanied us much to our concern as he did not look before crossing the street and nearly got hit as well as slowed down the traffic numerous times. He finally was chased home by 2 dogs who were the parents of 6 fluffy puppies. Anyone want us to bring one home for them?

Emma mentioned today that "When summer comes, I want to do crafts outside." It has been cool and rainy. Not quite summer weather as we head into July. The forecast says more rain ahead. At least we are not sweating like those we've left at home. We have had a few opportunities to do the evening games outside between showers which is a blessing as 55 kids in a large dining room can be deafening.

In the evening after supper, we have games for about an hour and then a worship time with explanation of the words and a short message. The worship is mostly with DVDs, but Randy and I are planning to have our class help lead worship some time next week.

Our classes have had a variety of topics covered - animals, food, body parts, etc. with role plays of going to the doctor or a restaurant and funny songs. On Friday, the level 2 class, presented us with a fashion show in which Emma participated sporting her blue Cinderella outfit. She has become the camp mascot for sure.

Please pray that we are sensitive to the kids needs and have opportunities to reach out to them daily in meaningful ways. We need wisdom in bringing God's truth into all our lessons. Some of the parents will be visiting Sunday - pray for open hearts as they hear the Gospel.

Third Day and Pillow Crafts!

I am reflecting for the team today. Where do I begin to share the discoveries and excitement?

The stuffing and fuzz was flying as 54 children crowded into our dining hall after formal English lessons to make cut-and-tie fleece pillows. At first, the girls took up two long tables and when the boys joined in it was amazing. The best part for me was having conversations with the children and learning many new Polish words. I’m getting better at the pronunciation, but on both sides I think spelling the word is key. So the English/Polish learning takes place all day long . Judy and I were very amused to learn what the animals say from a Polish perspective. Our dogs say bark, bark, and their dogs say who, who. When they said their ducks say, fok, fok, we quickly told them American ducks say quack, quack.

The food served by our cooks is delicious and traditional Polish. The main meal is at 2:00 and begins always with tasty different soups. Today our cook painstakingly made little dumpling balls stuffed with ground meat. It was called Kuluski something. Did you know that cucumbers and tomatoes are served at breakfast and almost every meal? Dining with Marta, Benia, Lucas, Marysia, Sonia, and Piotr is fun. They tell us the names of all the interesting foods.

The ski village of Bialka Tatrzanska is charming. It’s just a 3 minute walk past small yards with cows, chickens and sheep to the cukiernia (bakery.) I found treasure there in the best poppyseed roll that Judy and I ever tasted!

Tonight’s game in front of our chalet in this lovely spot was “pass the ring cookie with a straw”. Next was the name game where a folded parachute divided the children into two teams that couldn’t see each other. The parachute was lowered by chant of three, two, one, then one child on each side stepped onto the playing spot. Whichever child named the other correctly, got to take the looser to their side to build a bigger team. Pam and I were tricked into facing off against each other. We had Polish names running through our heads like Marta, Julka, Maciek or Weronika and we were almost speechless and couldn’t think of each other’s name as the parachute was lowered!

Worship begins at 7:30. When Piotr had technical difficulties and the children were bored Judy jumped right in leading If You’re Happy and You Know It. Randy sang and recorded many worship songs on a CD as gifts for all the children! During class his CD came in handy as we reviewed the meaning of the words for the children from sheets Pam prepared for us. I was so touched when the girls exclaimed, “this is the best song ever”when You Are Holy came on the screen as they danced and sang.

It’s fabulous to work and pray as a team!

Delightedly by Diane
