Dear Friends,
Today is my birthday…
Birthdays are a time when I reflect on the past year as well as look into the future. Last night, I reviewed my calendar and considered what I planned for this year compared to the reality of what occurred.
I am deeply moved when I see the list of conferences, workshops, leadership events and coaching appointments that I was privileged to be involved with through the Golden Apple Institute. By God’s faithfulness, hundreds of peoples’ lives have been changed.
This has been a year full of “divine appointments” that God has clearly orchestrated. Whether I spoke to large crowds at national conferences, led leadership workshops at churches and organizations or coached individual leaders, it was all about seeking to connect people with the Living God in the midst of their everyday lives, very often by asking the right questions.
Recently, I reviewed a list of my publications as we added it to our website. I am grateful to God for many opportunities to impact people via my writings. I was invited to have my own column in one of the most popular Christian magazines in Poland, Nasze Inspiracje (Inspiration), and I entitled it, “Life Changing Questions“. Through this series, I invite thousands of readers to a journey into their hearts by asking the questions Jesus asked in the Gospels.
I am also a regular contributor to a Baptist monthly magazine, Slowo Prawdy (Word of Truth), where I have a section on Christian coaching. Another publication is a Pentecostal magazine, Chrzescijanin (A Christian), where I publish articles on leadership. I contributed several articles in academic journals including the East-West Church & Ministry Report.
This year I was approached by different publishers to write prefaces and recommendations to different books translated into Polish. These books included Tony Stolztfus’ Questions for Jesus, Bob Buford’s Halftime and Dave Ramsey’s Smart Money, Smart Kids.
In September 2015 we officially launched our foundation, Golden Apple Institute. As I 
reflect on this last year, I see how God blessed our ministry as we put into practice what is our biblical inspiration to be the
the right word at the right time (Proverbs 25:11). I learned that to be able to do that, it is important to ask the right questions which empowers faith to transform life.
The key question for me this year was: Do I live by the story someone else writes for me or do I want to be a history maker and choose to follow where God leads? We all get to make that choice at different stages in our lives…
I am humbled to celebrate today that the Golden Apple Institute is the fruit of the right questions. I can’t wait to see how God will continue to write His story through us.
Thank you for being on this journey with us. Every prayer and gift is a lasting investment in what God is doing in and through us. We are honored that you are part of the amazing story, also!
Angieszka, Dawid and I are in New York City this week. We fly to Atlanta in a few days and return to Poland September 1. We will stay in touch with ministry updates this year. We are deeply blessed by your friendship, love and support.
In Him,
Wojtek
