Activity reports – Year 2018
In our conferences, training times and various gatherings in 2018 we have experienced a great move of God which powerfully has impacted people in life changing manner. Allow us to briefly share with you what projects we had the honor to undertake and partake in.
Autumn 2018
We are very grateful to the Lord for the second half of the year 2018. We thank God for His strength, support and guidance in all of the endeavors to which we have been involved at Life and Mission Ministry.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control… (Galatians 5:22–23)
Please allow us to share briefly with you here some of what we ourselves have experienced, and some of the reports of changes in people’s lives we have received as a result of the conferences, training times and various other gatherings we have put on this year. Below are some of the projects we had the privilege of undertaking and participating in:
YOUTH CONFERENCE ROYAL DNA: TRUE HAPPINESS
True Happiness was the main theme of this year’s youth conference, which took place on September 22, 2018 at the Golebiewski Hotel in Wisla. This conference was much more than a mere event – it was a life-changing encounter reflecting the example of the Lord Jesus Christ.
As the Life and Mission Ministry in Ustron, we had the privilege of hosting 300 people from all over Poland and abroad. The speakers were: Jakub Kaminski, Dawid Leszczynski, Sylwia Pinkas, and Alina & Henryk Wieja. The music was led by Christian musician Michal Krol.
Each of the speakers presented the idea of happiness from a different perspective, explaining how the desire to be happy and satisfied exists in every human soul. Just as there are different definitions of what happiness is, so are there different ways for pursuing it. And yet, there is really only one true source of never-ending happiness. As David wrote in one of his Psalms, “But as for me, it is good to be near God.”All of the participants were encouraged to look for and experience God in their lives, so that their relationship with Him might become their true source of happiness.
It is our prayer that this young generation will come to know God’s word, develop their gifts and talents, and that their faith will awaken other hearts for the Lord Jesus.
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: PROMISED INHERITANCE
Another international conference was held by the Life and Mission Ministry on October 27, 2018 at the Golebiewski Hotel. Together with 200 participants from Poland and abroad we were able to stand in God’s presence enjoying a special time of revelation, worship and prayer. People’s hearts were opened to God’s fresh movement for the nation of Poland. As Poles, we want to stand for Israel as we look forward to what God is doing in Poland and the whole world. The speakers were: Chuck D. Pierce and Henryk Wieja. They pointed towards the world changing times in which we live. As children of God, we have a promised inheritance from Heaven, which is in our Lord Jesus Christ. But in obtaining our inheritance and walking in it, it is important that we first return to our roots – we must come to appreciate and honor our elder brothers and sisters in the Faith, the Jews, especially the Messianic body [i.e. Jews who have believed in Yeshua/Jesus as Messiah, Savior and Lord]. This is a key to freeing God’s reserves for our personal lives, and those for our nations.
OUR INSPIRATIONS MAGAZINE
Autumn 2018 – The autumn issue of Our Inspirations magazine addressed the theme of “Faithfulness.” Many excellent articles inspired our readers towards embracing trust and faithfulness as essential in bringing about a good difference in our marriages, churches and businesses.
Winter 2018 – The winter issue of Our Inspirations magazine focused on the theme of “God’s Goodness&Our Gratefulness.” A number of worthwhile articles brought near the image of God as “The Good Father.” Recognition of this is one of the ways in which gratitude is awakened in our everyday lives.
CHRISTIAN MEDIA SUMMIT IN JERUSALEM
In October, Alina Wieja, editor of Our Inspirations magazine, took part in a very special event, Christian Media Summit in Jerusalem 2018. Her invitation to and participation in this conference reflects a gesture of recognition and appreciation by the Government of Israel as to the way in which Our Inspiration magazine presents the subjects of Israel’s history, holidays and life, from Biblical perspective. The primary goal of this summit was reliability of media in presenting news which reflects the real, true situation in Israel. This amazing 70th anniversary of modern Israel presented the ideal time to take a stand toward God’s plan for His people and the Land. As representatives from Christian media in many different countries, we draw blessing for our own lands as we accurately present the work God is doing among His people and nation Israel.

Spring 2018
We are very grateful to the Lord for the first quarter of 2018, which has gone by so quickly. We thank God for all the endeavors that we could take up at Life and Mission Ministry, which we could complete by His grace.
Conference: Woman of Good Influence
This was the theme of this year’s Women’s Conference which took place on March 10, 2018. Again as the Life and Mission Ministry in Ustron we had the privilege to host over a thousand of women from all over Poland and abroad at the Golebiewski Hotel in Wisla. The speakers were: Alina Wieja, Sylwia Tomczyk, Estera Wieja, Norma Sarvis and Bozena Ciechanowska.
Here are a few comments we received after the conference:
- “I realized that I can be a woman of good influence in my daily life. I want to be more intentional about it!” Adriana
- “Every session at the conference blessed me with some practical tips. Thank you for everything!” Urszula
- “I completely lost the vision of being a woman with great influence. I cornered myself into a place of helplessness. Thank you for pointing me to a way out! I want to be a woman of great, Godly influence!” Magdalena
- “I became more aware of how powerful prayer is, and how God impacts us through it. Our helplessness can be turned into great influence on our surroundings. I’m inspired to feed on the Word of God, and to speak out only the words that God wants us to use before others.” Barbara
