Ministering to the homeless in Poland

Richard and Brooke Nungesser have found a less expensive apartment in Poznan with advantages other than economic. It’s new, not in the ghetto and only a short (6–minute) bus ride outside of town and near a lake. The only problem: its unfurnished.

Richard’s sister, Coralanne, joined the dynamic duo for ministry this past summer. She taught English, helped with the International Church, prayed for prostitutes, helped with the Bread of Life Ministry (to the homeless), worked at the summer camp and generally made Poland a happier place because she cared enough to be obedient to God's call.

After a typical Bread of Life meeting (with the thieves, alcoholics and glue sniffers) one Friday last month, Richard was heading home on the bus. He was loaded down with his backpack, two bags of dirty towels from their showers (they wash them in their washer at home) and a box of books from the International Church. The bus was packed. Someone unzipped his backpack and stole his personal computer (Palm Pilot). How ironic. He was safer with the thieves they befriend at the Bread of Life meetings than on a public bus. Crime thrives in Poland as elsewhere and our missionaries need your daily prayers.

Nungessers: unfurnished ... Except for love
