As the days of 1986 are rapidly progressing and the events of last year axe
"beginning to fade, we would like to stop for a moment this aging .process and one
more time express to you our deepest thanks for all your prayers, financial help
and much encouragement received in the past It must have "been the shortest year
in our life - so rapidly it passed! So much did happen during this time in our
personal life and ministry.
Let me recall just a few memories from our life. We thank God that we are
still in good health. Benjamin is growing hoth physically and spiritually. His
Q,uestlons and conversations with us are more mature and show us that he under
stands the "basics of faith, and that he is making progress in his spiritual
development .Yet he needs our prayers and more encouragement throu^ exemplary
Christian living. Xast year Benjamin surprised us also with his scholary
achievements "by winning the public speech competition in his school, in his
school district, and then on the city level. He was also invited to give his
speech on Toronto City Television, for the lion's Club and several different
assemblies. Who knows.. .maybe another preacher or missionary is growing!
But also about a year ago at this time we received one bad news from
Poland. Andrew Bajenski my nephew and the minister of the Christian Church in
Warsaw ended up in the hospital with tuberculosis. This news hastened my plans
of visiting Poland. I was glad to spend several weeks in May and June with the
Warsaw congregation which is my home church, and with Andrew's family, and with
other of our friends. We are glad to report to you to-day that both Andrew and
the church in Warsaw are doing fine. This month Andrew finished his last dose
of antibiotics that were prescribed for his illness and now he is for a month
at a sanitorium for rehabilitation trying to regain his fvOl strength for new
were eagerly waiting for their summer work. We were also thankful to God for
our successful negotiations and recovery of part of the property of the
Ostroda Youth Camp grounds that were lost about ten years ago. Now work is
progressing for adapting these enlarged facilities for "better use for God's
glory.
and through God's people such as Joni Eareckson Tada we were able to help Peter
both physically and spiritually. His last letter written to us was his first
letter written all by himself with pen in mouth. Peter wrote, ''The joy in my
life comes when I can be at the Piilawska Street Christian Church.
Here at home in Toronto our radio work was continuing as always with letters
from listeners coming in# Several transpoirbs of food and. medical aid. were organ
ized and sent to Poland. On top of all of this since September we were moving,
with delays and frustrations, "but movingJ. As you possibly are aware of the
Bajenski household moved flcom an apartment located at the west end of Toronto
to a small home on the east side of the city.
But that was not the only .move. After our Mission office lease expired in
September it was decided not to renew the lease so the Mission relocated the
business office in the home of George Repetski and the recording studio in our
new residence. It took quite an effort and time to set everything up in its
proper place but the work and our personal life had to continue "normally.
Since Charles Branum terminated his work with the Mission most of the recording
and pro^am production became my responsibility. So for the last several months
in addition to preparing and recording my Polish Gospel programs I am a^so
preparing the technical part of the Russian and Ukranian programs. All of this
takes much time but the results of this labour are very encouraging. Souls are
saved and the Church is getting stronger.
I hope you can understand some of these our joys and frustrations of the
last few months of our life and work, especially as Vera was in the ^ddle of
all of these our family and Mission activities, trying to help me and Benjamin,
and yet keep the home open for all who are involved in this ministry. Please
Benjamin will be able to travel with us on a half fare basis as he is still under
the age of twelve. We need to raise 2,500 dollars to make this trip and our
ministry this summer in Poland possible. We ask you to help us with prayer and
if possible with finances. Please designate your contribution on the trip to
Poland. We will keep you up-dated on future developments in our life and
ministry.
