Dates: October 8-13, 2024
Localities: Wrocław (Poland), Herrnhut (Germany)
Invitation
The saints in Wrocław and in the neighboring church in Opole would enjoy blending with you after the ITERO in Warsaw. Wrocław is the third largest city in Poland with a metropolitan area population of 1.25 million. The university student population is approximately 130,000. After the war started in Ukraine, Wrocław received roughly 300,000 refugees. This is one of the cities where the gospel and shepherding trips for the Ukrainian refugees occurred in 2022.
Currently there is no local church here, but there are some dear new ones, both Polish and Ukrainian. In 2023 a few saints migrated with the desire that the Lord will raise up His testimony in this important city. Over the last two years, the full-time trainees, FTTM extension in Warsaw, have been visiting Wrocław to shepherd the new ones and preach the gospel.
Plan
During this blending trip we would like the visiting saints to meet the local saints and to labor together with them in the gospel.
We would also like to take a day trip to some places in this region that are significant in the history of the Lord’s recovery. We want to take you to Herrnhut, Germany, where in the eighteenth century Zinzendorf was raised up by the Lord to lead the Moravian brothers to a recovery of the church life. Another place to visit during this day trip is near Wrocław where Caspar Schwenkfeld was born and ministered. He focused on life and saw that Christ became the Life-giving Spirit; he wrote, among other things, about the tree of life and the New Jerusalem.
If someone wants to visit Auschwitz, it is 2.5 hours by car from Wrocław. You can arrange your own transport and tour. This will not be arranged by the local saints.
