Dear Friends,

Many good things are happening for God’s Kingdom within the Pastors2Pastors ministry!

PP Graphic Golden Apple LogoIn June 2015, Pastors2Pastors began to operate under our official foundation entity, the Golden Apple Institute.  Benefits of this important change:

  • Provides accurate legal description of our ministry.
  • Allows legal solicitation of funds accompanied by appropriate governance.
  • Enables Pastors2Pastors to broaden funding resources, to receive grants and to expand ministry opportunities.

This important step simply streamlines the management of the training ministry for all target audiences of the Golden Apple Institute:  pastors, church leaders and marketplace leaders.  Agnieszka and I remain as the ministry’s directors and visionaries.

Contributions are still tax deductible in the US and can be given through Pastors2Pastors; see DONATE information.

The core purpose of the Golden Apple Institute is to accelerate the impact of evangelical leaders throughout Poland.

PP Logo Golden Apple IconThe name of our foundation is inspired by Proverbs 25:11:  A word spoken at the right time is like gold apples on a silver tray.

We know God is leading us through this important step!  We are looking forward to many great opportunities to fulfill the vision He laid on our hearts.

We will be involved with 7 national leadership conferences in 2015/16.  On our calendar, the current events are:

  • National Pastors’ Conference in Warsaw thru the Baptist Union of Poland where we will conduct leadership workshops for pastors (October 22-23).
  • National Men’s conference in Wisla:  In partnership with Life and Mission Foundation (October 24, 2015).
  • Centre of Education of Leaders in Warsaw:  A mentorship program (November 8-10, 2015).
  • PP Logo Royal RangersGlobal leadership Summit in Krakow – Initiative of Leadership Institute:  We became official partners of this largest event for Christian leaders (November 20-21, 2015).
  • Royal Rangers: National Leadership Training Conference in Wroclaw (November 26-29, 2015).
  • Leaders with a Mission – National Leadership Summit in Krakow:  Integrating pastoral and marketplace leaders.  Five Christian organizations are working together on this conference for the first time and are initiated by the Golden Apple (March 19, 2016).
  • “Transforming the Heart” Leadership Conference in partnership with MetaFormation Leadership Institute.  Speaker:  Tony Stolfzfus, Coaching Founder (May 2016).

The scope of our ministry continues to grow:  We are currently involved in coaching pastors and interfacing with church planters in 15 different places throughout Poland and this number is growing.  Our new foundation structure of the Golden Apple Institute is driving expansion and growth!

PP Crop W and A Fall LeavesWe equip churches and organizations with practical resources to grow their ministries by providing practical leadership and coaching workshops.

More and more Christian marketplace leaders are also drawn to the vision of our ministry and that’s why we are initiating the Leadership Growth Forum which is meant to inspire and strengthen evangelical leaders who are in the market place.

We will keep you posted on all these conferences and activities.  Follow our News section on our website.

Friends, we need your prayers and support.  We are so grateful for all of you who partner in this ministry.  We wouldn’t be able to do this without you!

Blessings,

Wojtek and Agnieszka
