FIRST SCOTTISH MISSION POLISH DAY OF FELLOWSHIP
Sabbath, 14 August was a remarkable day in the history of the Scottish Mission. It was the first Polish Day of Fellowship, held at Crieff church, and it was the first time a couple had been baptised after having cyberspace Bible studies.
FIRST SCOTTISH MISSION POLISH DAY OF FELLOWSHIP
Anna Radosh, who lives in Bracknell, conducted Bible studies in Polish via phone and Skype with three Polish people in Edinburgh.  "This way, we were able to study the Bible and learn from the Word of God together, despite being separated by 400 miles" she said.  Another novelty at this first Scottish Mission Polish Day of Fellowship was that a daughter and father preached during different services at the same event.  Anna, who co-ordinates the SEC Polish Ministries, preached in Polish, with her husband Thomas translating to English.  The afternoon baptismal service was conducted by her father, Pastor Richard Jankowski, President of the West Polish Conference.  "The baptismal service was the best part of the day, it was very moving to hear the testimonies," exclaimed a local Crieff church member.  Elizabeth and Slawek Godkowski from Edinburgh were baptised following the lead of their daughter Hanna, who was baptised in May this year.

Bernie Holford, the pastor of the Crieff church said, "this has been such a wonderful day, seeing so many Polish people coming from England and Scotland to celebrate the baptism of these people.  We thank God for Anna's ministry, and the way that He is growing the number of Polish church members in our Mission."
