It is uncomfortable in Mozambique. I had never thought about this country and myself there this way before. This conclusion was born maybe two weeks after arriving in Poland. At another breakfast together, when the hardships of the last months were just a safe memory. As safe as it was far away at that moment. […]

Why missions?
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and try to remind myself how I got here. As a child, I imagined my future at the desk. Either as a clerk or a writer. I did not dream about long journeys. I dreamed of predictability. When I started following Jesus, my dreams were wider. But not […]
It’s okay
It’s okay that you are not them. It’s okay that you don’t know how to do things like they do. Or just not now. Or you can do things in a different way. Or you can do something else. It’s okay to live quietly. Not spectacular. Only to do the common things every day. Do […]
Inconvenient church
What if we would deprive the Sunday service of the nice form? If we would not meet in a nice place, with decorations, lamps and comfortable chairs? What if this place would be too warm or too cold? What if after the service it would be not possible to drink coffee and eat a good […]
Another day in a village
I haven’t seen them in three months, and they are the same. Real. This is what I like best about meeting them. They are who they are. They bring with them matters they currently live with. They talk about them. And that’s not always the case here. More often not. It is thanks to the […]

I wanted to go slow. As long as it takes. And with no photos. My dilemma. Visit all twenty five families just for a moment or stay, but only with a few. This time we stay, with no regrets. We believe that God who connected us with the displaced families knows their needs and our […]

I can remember her that day, a twenty-four years old girl. She was standing in front of one of the hospitals in the city she lived in. She was called by her chief from the newspaper with a question about how things were going. Ania said her fiancé is dying. In response, she heard the […]
What do you usually think about?
I do not think about what could have happened. I think about what God has already provided. Options, ways out, scenarios – stories quickly form in our heads. It’s easy to follow your thoughts – first, second, third, etc., until you find yourself the same as the imaginations to which you have given your attention. […]
6/ My way to Mozambique
I was right in my place. My work was to love full time. Imperfectly, but always looking at Jesus. However, I quickly noticed a desire in my heart for something more. It’s hard to describe it. I just came to Lodz, turning my life upside down. Only because of Him. But what was burning inside […]
5/ Against human trafficking
The need to be in direct connection with people I am helping to was first named by Andrzej. I called him one day and talked for a long time about the bumps in my personal life and career path so far. And mismatch. And how uncomfortable it was. He didn’t speak for a long time. […]
