Tuesday 7th April 2009, the day had finally arrived, after all the planning, praying and fundraising.  A team of eighteen students with a passion for sharing Gods word set off to Warsaw.

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed"
Proverbs 16:3

Christmas is a time for giving therefore, it is really about grace. One of the greatest verses in the Bible says it all, “For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son” (John 3:16). The greatest gift anyone will ever receive can not be found wrapped under a Christmas tree. Instead, it is found at the foot of Calvary’s cross. There we see the true gift of Christmas.

For most of us, Birthdays are special days; Joyful days we want to celebrate with those close to us. Have you ever thought about sharing this JOY with others, those in need who you may never even meet?

Recently a former neighbor of mine celebrated her Birthday. It also happened that a close friend had her Birthday at about the same time. Both of them decided that they wanted to celebrate in a special way this year and asked their family and friends not to buy them anything but rather donate the funds they would have spent to be collected and donated to a charitable organization.

My first contact with the Christian Radosc Foundation was four years ago during summer vacation. Some of the children which I am responsible for in my work as a Social Curator told me about the Kid’s Club and Day Camps (VBS) in Otwock and Radosc. They were very happy and spoke very highly about them.
  They said that everything was well planned and well organized. A bus would come to pick them up, almost at their doorsteps. These children are from very poor homes and sentenced to spend their vacations at home or rather on the streets without proper care.

Ministry is not always a pleasant experience in fact it can often be just plain difficult. And this is a good description of one aspect of the Christian Radosc Foundation’s (CRF) work here, the Food Bank deliveries the foundation is responsible for each month. It goes without saying that this is a very important work, and from the perspective of those whom receive it, very necessary. But it can often just seem hard, especially in two specific ways.
