GM Missionaries to Poland Share the Challenge of Communicating Faith
In a recent Mission letter, Doug and Liz Searles share about one of the projects of our partners in Poland, The Evangelical Reformed Church: "Sometimes it's easier to talk about what we don't believe than about what we do…Learning to make positive statements about Reformed beliefs is a continuing journey. One milestone is work on a new translation of foundational texts of the church. In English, the compendium will be called: "What Do We Believe?" – in Polish: "W Co Wierzymy?" Rev. Semko Koroza of the Lodz congregation is working with youth to produce translations of texts – many of them from the 16th century and from other languages…."
