First
T^of all: millions of pec^le became free frcm atheistic-

ccmminism. For those people new hope for better future en

tered their hearts.

Second: The ciospel of Christ started to penetrate previously unreached na

tions.

The Gospel was preached on the streets, in the parks, in schools, jails,
public buildings, in the previously closed churches and in the Christian
Service Canps.

Literature was published. Bibles were purchased and were given to those
\^o never before had a Bible in their hands.

Ihere were glorious baptismal services in lakes, rivers, baptistries and

even swiirming pools.

Native ministers with the help of American Brethren and Churches were able to

preach the Gospel and lead people to Christ without any hindrances
This was the good side of the year, but on the other hand there was still so
me fear, uncertainty and poverty.
Transition frcm a socialistic government into a democracy and privatization

v^ich caused high prices and uneirployment

is very painful for Poland and o-

ther former socialistic and COTinunistic countries.

There is also no stability in the governments.

All that touched unbelievers as well as believers and there is a great need
not only for spiritual but also physical help.
POLISH MINISTRY IS PIONEERING IN ALL PHASES OF WDRK AND HELP.

Because of precious Christian Friends and Churches in America we were able

to raise in 1991 $ 279,504.00

and we say "PRAISE THE LORD" and "THANK YOU,

WONDERFUL CHRISTIANS."

With that financial assistance and prayers we were able:

1. Support 45 preachers and staff members of Polish Ministry with a total
-

amount of S 160,664.00.

2. Bxiild, purchase

and renovate

church buildings in the amount of

3. Print
literature and purchase Bibles for S 23,356.00.
4. Visit Poland and Russia with the Gospel and pronote of Polish work

$ 14,100.00.

We thank our regular si^iportes, those v^o responded to our appeals and Mrs.
Charles Steele and her son, Mark, who during 1991 sent several times money in
msmory of the departed Bro. Charles Steele v^o was very interested in the vrork
in Poland and served nany years as a mariber of the Guidance Carmittee.
Last year, liJ^e, like never before, during our visit of Poland we dedicated
3 newly errected cliurch buildings: Bialorard, Kiedzyles and Bielsk Podlaski.
Our hearts were rejoicing with the Christians in Poland seeing every place
filled with worshipers.

This year, like never beforp, we need your help. - Prices on everything
in Poland go up. More people are unenployed.
Preachers are worrying how to Survive on our average support especially

those \^o have children at hom^ or going to school, because now they must
pay for books, notebooks, pencils, etc. and in sane Highschools even

for

tuition.

Few new mission stations were established and they need places to meet.

Several chapels need expanding1

We can print literature and books in Poland but the cost of paper and print
is very high. There is need for more Bibles.
I just received a letter frcm Bro. Peter Karel and he said that due to dif
ferent programs of the church, especially park meetings v^ich were led in
summer every Saturday, they baptized more people into Christ. But there is
one problem; their church can not accomodate all the people and many of them

have to stand during the vdiole 2 hour-long service.

When we were in Poland last June we had in Kolobrzeg a ground breaking ce
remony for expansion of the building and they are ready to go with the pro
ject in the spring but again ttie funds are low. They have S 7,000.- vM.ch
I gave them but the project may cost S 30,000.- or more.
This kind of problem worries Several of our preachers in Poland.

We rejoice together with them tlhat churches are growing but we worry hew to
help them to enlarge old or buiild new sanctuaries.

lord willing, I plan to be in pbland May 19 - June 15 of this year. I will

try to visit each church, sit dpwn and talk with every preacher individually
and to meet with all preachers,: evangelists and workers to evaluate the

work and progress of the ch\irch|es in Poland. It will be a very busy time.
I will need your prayers, I alsp need your financial help for travels to

Poland and in Poland, to purch^e Bibles, medicine, especially Excedrin -extra strong, /each preacher and: many others ask for it/, to help with the

building programs and help the j:hurches to establish a benevolent fund fran
v^ch the churches will be able to help the most needy people.

I trust you will work with us a^ support \js so that this year will be even

greater than last in our ministj^-

Thank you once more and may the Lord bless you real good.
Yours in His ministry.

As you know from Radio, TV and newspapers life in our country is diffi

Please do not cease to do good and I am sure the good Lord will never

In spite of my age /I will be 80 in June/ with the Lord's help I visit

It was God's will that He led me in 1938 to Sosnowiec where I was the

in
Sosnowiec, but also in Dabrowa Gornicza, Katowice, Rybnik and mission
stations in Myslowice, Katowice, Jaworzno, Bedzin, Laziska Gorne.

LETTER FROM A YOUTH MINISTER IN DABROWA GORNICZA

"Dear Bro. Bajko.

I would like to thank the Department of Missions for the gift of

S 200.-. It truly was very useful!

We had a very succesful winter Retreat where many young people

were present. Several of those young people came to our youth

meeting last Saturday. Most of them were from the city of Sosnowiec. We pray for that city and the work among the young peo
ple there.

A large percentage of members of our churches here today are

young people. We therefor^ cannot neglect the work among them.
Looking at our churches today, I can see that the most active
and the fastest growing ait^ong them are those that are missiona
ry minded.

A few weeks ago, our Board of Elders entrusted me with the mis
sion work in our congregation. I am greatly honored by that, but
also feel the great load df responsibility. A special fund was
created for the purpose of the mission work. We made an appeal
to our congregation and ra^ised almost 300,000 zloty for the pur

pose of renting different 'public places for evangelism.

Our youth is very excited j^rid helpful in that project as well as
in the whole evangelistic/ missionary activities they are invol

ved in.

We lately went to the parkjs to distribute the Gospel of John. We

now plan to go to the nearby s:ocial cliabs to organize evangelis

tic meetings there. This type of work is not easy because we have
a limited experience in it. So far we had just a few excursions
outside of our church building. But we believe in the Great Com

mission and know that God will bless our efforts.

We want the Church of Jesus Christ in Dabrowa Gornicza to grovJ!

Jarek Sciwiarski".

We started our trip from Warsaw driving first to the Chur

We visited and preached in 20 churches and stopped for short visit in ano
ther 5

churches.

Everywhere

we were welcomed enthusiastically.

Comparing with the last year we noticed that in all our churches the Young
People are taking an active part in services, in special programs, visita tions, street or park meetings. Usually during the services there were spe
cial numbers in music and song by the Youth.
There was a baptismal service in Bialogard, ordination service in Siemiatycze, special meetings with area preacheis in Kolobrzejf, Ostroda, Bielsk Podlaski^ Dabrowa Gornicza and Warsaw. By the end of my trip I met with
al
most all przechers in Ostroda for 2 days conference.
Harmony and unity prevailed and there was desire for a greater ministry in
Poland and urgency to redeem each opportunity to preach the Gospel and win
souls for Christ.

Although on my way to Poland, in the plane, my right leg started to swell I

never suspected that it was Thrombophlebitis. But thanks to prayers of many
brethren, that did not interfere with our busy schedule.
Only when I returned to USA I landed in a hospital for seven days. This was

the first time in 38 years of my ministry that I was forced to cancel1 our
trip to Anahaim to NACC where I was to present a workshop on the theme "The
growth of the Church in Poland.

Paul Bajko and the Polish Christian workers had planned the three week tour
to perfection. No time was lost and there was a blending of seeing the land,
meeting the people and visiting the churches.
The land of Poland is beautiful with many historical sights; the Baltic Sea,
Warsaw, Tremblinka, Auschwitz and the beutiful Vistula River. Also, we tra
veled 2,500 miles of picturesque tree-lined highways.
The people are hard working people who use what they have to it's full advatage. They are very artistic and musical. They especially enjoy family and
events that necessitate eating, I stayed in the homes of Christian families
and made many special friends. They cerstainly practice the Scriptual teaching
"to entertain strangers". The Christians we met were open and friendly. We
were always guests of honor. They spread tables of food when it was evident
to us that it was a hardship. Out of their need they gave to us and
it is
humbling to see such graciousness in the name of Jesus.

The Churches are growing, many young people and families are taking an acti
ve part. The music is inspirational and varied. There were several diffen&nt
musical instruments in the services.

The preachers are very supportive of one another and enjoy a rich fellowship.
We were impressed by the laalance of younger and older preachers. It was a

privilege to participate in the Ordination of a young Polish preacher, A-

leksander Zegunia from Siemiatycze. His love for Christians there was evi
dent in the response to the Call.

Many of the Christians wept from joy as

he accepted the call to be their shepherd.

OF

APPRECIATION

FROM

POLISH

CHURCHES

"Dear Brethren in Christ,

The Churches of Christ in Poland send you greetings in the precious name of
our Lord Jesus Christ.

With great joy and appreciati(pn we received your gift brought to us byBro.
Paul Bajko. This gift of 10 thousand dollars has been distributed by Bro.
Bajko to all Churches of Christ in Poland.

This money is to go as help f6r the most needy families. This is an answer
for many prayers of our people. Our present economic situation for many fa
milies is worse than ever had before. The unemployment reaches already up
to 30-40%. Some have enough money just to pay apartment rent and almost no
money left for the food or clothing. Their situation is indeed disastrous.

People who will receive your help will be thankful to God and to you

for

the help and your love.

Please continue to remember us in your prayers. When you have an opportu nity to help us again it will be most appreciated.

We will pray that the Lord will continue to bless you and your ministry.
Yours in Christ.

Because of your wonderful response we were able to use the rest of the money
as a one time monetary help, to buy children's Bibles, to help with Christan

Economical situation in Poland is still very bleak and we have many requests
for urgent help.

BACKGROOND AND HISTORY OF POLISH CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES

Polish Christian Ministries (formerly known as Department of

Missions/Polish Ministry of Eastern Christian College) has been a
vibrant mission entity for the past thirty-eight years. Paul and Dela
Ba^ko have provided great stability for this work through their
commitment to the Lord's Kingdom and steadfast labor of love.

Paul Bajko, born in Targoszyce-Pinsk, Poland, in 1922, was raised

The church was a
part of the Restoration Movement in Poland which was started by
Brother K. J. Jaroshevich in 1921. At the age of 16, Paul was
in the home of a minister of the Church of Christ.

baptized into Christ. During World War II, Paul suffered hardship.
In 1944, he was deported to Germany and located in a labor camp.
While at the camp, he worked in a factory twelve hours a day for very
little food. He was liberated in 1945 by American troops and stayed
in the Displaced Persons camp until 1950.

In 1950, Paul came to the United States as a "displaced person."

He enrolled in Eastern Christian Institute in Orange, NJ. Graduating
from Eastern Christian Institute in 1952, he was ordained into the

ministry the same day. That same year he entered Milligan College in
Tennessee, graduating with the B. A. degree. Paul married the former
Adela Burghardt of Toronto, Canada, formerly of Lodz, Poland, in 1951.
They have three children: Yvonne, born in 1952, George, born in 1954,

and Andrew, born in 1957.

In 1956 and 1958 respectively, Paul and

Dela became naturalized citizens of the United States of America.

The Bajkos were called by Eastern Christian Institute in 1954 to

establish the Department of Missions. The purpose was to train

students for missionary activities and to carry the Gospel of Christ

around the world.

Paul taught at Eastern Christian Institute and

Eastern Christian College for 24 years.

In 1984 he was honored by

Eastern Christian College for his many years of service to the

college, his faithful work with the Department of Missions, and

dedication to the Lord's Kingdom. The honorary degree of Doctor of

Divinity was bestowed upon him.

^ Since 1962, the Department of Missions has been an independent

ministry to Poland and to the Slavic people in the United States.
