The day started off with a great night's rest for most of us and a breakfast almost worth writing home about. Then Tomek and Damaris picked us up and took us downtown to the town center.
The Catholic Church kicked off our prayer walk. What an amazing display of art and culture! It also broke my heart to see how so many other things are highlighted over Jesus. That was the theme of most of our prayers: that Jesus would become the focal point of the Polish people's faith (can you join us in praying for that?).
Our team split off into three groups from the town center. My team walked to a couple different churches and prayed over them. Above is the Franciscan church.
We all met back up and debriefed at Cieszyn's oldest building, The ???. It's over 1,000 years old! The Otremba's have connections so we were even able to sit inside.
Afterwards, we ate lunch (which Jake will tell you about later) and the girls set off to prepare and host a ladies time at one of Damaris' friend's house (which Nicole will tell you about soon).
Oh, we also got to re-enter Poland. The town of Cieszyn is actually split by the Poland-Czech Republic border. It's an open border, so we took advantage of it!
That's all for now :)
