Episode 103 - McClungs With A Mission: Returning To Poland

The McClungs have been training for long-term ministry over the past two years with Youth With A Mission in Tyler, Texas. They have envisioned joining Meg’s sister Erin and brother-in-law, Greg, in Poland (also with YWAM) at some point, but due to the current war in Ukraine, they are leaving to spend the next two months ministering to refugees. Please keep them in your prayers as they travel and serve orphans and refugees and deliver supplies to the Polish/Ukraine border and other areas of need. Also please consider making a one-time or recurring donation at the following link to help provide funding necessary for this mission:
