Poland has a unique place in Every Generation Ministries’
history because it was the first country to begin the work of EGM. Among the
many early contacts made by Daniel and Marla Watts in the beginning years of
ministry was Agata Rysiewicz who stood out as one who had a special heart for
children and for the Lord. Gifted as a teacher and a trainer, she quickly
became involved in the Leadership Development ministry of EGM- Poland and began
training children’s ministry leaders in the principles of the Model Children’s
Worker from Deuteronomy 6:4-9. So many years later she is still going strong,
not only teaching in various churches around Poland, but also in several
college-level Bible schools located in various cities across the country. Agata
stays current in children’s ministry by working with children weekly as well as
writing curriculum and organizing children’s camps. One of the passions of her
heart is training teenagers to become as assistant teachers at training camps.
As these young people are catching the vision of children being transformed in
Christ, Agata is ensuring that this generation will continue to serve in
children’s ministry. One of the amazing results she’s seen at these children’s
ministry training camps aimed at Polish teens is that teenagers (not only those
from churched homes but also many from orphanages) are finding God’s plan for
their lives. As you think of Agata, pray for protection as she travels much of
the time, for times of refreshment and for her to continue to hear the call God
has on her life to see children Transformed in Christ through His Church in
Poland.
