....happened about a week after my previous post in late June 2013.
My shoulder had mostly healed up and my dear friend, Ramona (Rami) and I thought to go out and about and do some prayer walking in our neighborhood. One prayer walk went by and was somewhat fruitful and so we thought to set aside time to do it again a few days later and to go a different direction. This time we headed into the heart of Ferentari.
We walked around....praying and walking.... walking and praying....and BAM! We came upon the very buildings that Rami had seen in a vision when she had been praying for me on my previous trip to Bucuresti 6 months prior. The vision was of a group of buildings that looked like abandoned shells of the communist block apartment buildings except there were people living in them. She was somewhere between excited and nervous all at the same time... and began to jog my memory and I said "Oh yeah... I remember." I stood still for a few moments in wonder and awe taking in the moment. This was the first REAL moment of Jesus fleshing out this vague vision for months and years coming into my very sight. A moment of Jesus stilling my heart and showing me he was God.
Rami and I continued to wander throughout the streets of this neighborhood, Ferentari, praying and smiling at the children and families as we passed by. You wouldn't think that this is the very neighborhood that produces so much child human trafficking, drug addiction, and abandoned babies throughout Bucharest.... because what we saw before us was....unfathomable joy. This neighborhood may be the darkest in all of Bucharest but it also is the ripest for Jesus to impart his love.
I went home that night and emailed my friends, Emily & Tristan about it. Emily informed me that she had had dreams about those very abandoned buildings...some where children were screaming for help to be released from cages and others were grown men were holding up babies as they were being sold for a profit.
The next day Rami text messaged me the etymology for the word "Ferentari" which she informed me meant "infantry" or "foot soldiers." Immediately, Jesus reminded me of a picture that a friend had of me about 5 years prior that was of me leading an army of leaders and then a lot of marginalized and ragamuffin looking people into battle. Obviously, this battle was for the Kingdom of God to be spread.
Then that evening Rami and I had planned to go to a conference at a local Vineyard church in Bucharest. While we were there, the speaker stopped in the middle of his teaching about healing. He looked directly at Rami and I. He said to me directly that I was called to this city for at least 5 years to be used as a Prophet to the city and that I was called as a key leader there as well. Then he said to Rami and I that I was called to disciple her with all of that I had been given and that she would then do even greater things than I had done in the city. Personally, I was not too surprised but knew that Jesus was confirming something really, really big for both of us. Currently, Rami is still wrapping her brain around all of it.
The following few days we had planned to do a prayer walk in Ferentari. However, we did not get the chance to do it because Rami was dancing in her room and pulled a muscle which resulted her being in a full leg cast the next day. Ironic, we both had major freak accidents in just a 6 week span. Awesome.
I continued on a few more prayer walks in Ferentari before I left to come back Stateside. Jesus spoke clearly of the abuse and sexual exploitation and how he wanted to restore this part of the city. He highlighted a plot of land that would one day hold some sort of community center for the Roma gypsy population that live in this area. This for real is only the beginning.
The last 6 months while I have been wrestling for the right timing and way to tell the truth of this story. I know now is the best time. I have a team of 5 total individuals that are setting aside time, energy, and money to be a part of what Jesus is doing in Ferentari--a small insignificant corner in Bucharest (90,000 pop) and to pray about the next steps of what this will pragmatically look like for their lives in the longterm. One couple is 100% committed and other individuals are listening to God.
Our larger focus for the upcoming years will be to both provide human trafficking prevention and interventions awareness in Ferentari and to help Jesus bring complete wholeness to the whole neighborhood of Roma and Romanians that dwell there. This will happen by us being the church in the neighborhood and by empowering the local people groups that come alongside of us.
How can you help now?
Finances
Our team is going to Bucharest June 18--July 3 and we need about $12,500 to get there for everyone. Some of this has been saved by members going and some of it still needs to be provided for. Please see the side panel of this blog to find specific details of how to give to our cause with the first step of supporting our trip this summer. We hope to buy our flights on May 5th.
Prayer
We will need prayer for provision, unity as we serve together, and clarity for individual calling within the greater vision written above. We desire prayer for both the Roma gypsy and the Romanians that we will serve in this area. We desire prayer for the Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven in Ferentari, Bucuresti, Romania.
Community
We need the support of our family, friends, and churches wrapping their arms around us. We need you to be involved and to be intentional in our lives. We are making big decisions as we listen to Jesus.

Constantly learning....
from those around me and of course Jesus is a neverending process. I have learned to slow down before I speed up which has been my journey in the past couple of years in transitioning my life towards Bucuresti for a full time life. My most recent example included slipping on my dear friends stairs in London, ending up in the Emergency Room with a dislocated shoulder, and my friend Richard encouraging me that this may be what I needed to slow down and truly rest in Jesus. Thus, the first couple of weeks of this trip had been spent in a slower pace than anticipated but with good reason for my Father to remind me I am His and He is mine and that is enough. Now I have a 95% recovered shoulder and have a lot of hope already in what God wants for this city.
This trip's goal was to continue to serve at the Bucuresti Inernational Church and do more thorough research of churches that have had some success in doing social justice work in the city of Bucuresti . This being the general vision ,God has fine tuned this to a specific region of the city -- Berceni with a high amount of gypsies, poverty, and baby hospitals in this part of town. Also, this area has the highest population and least amount of evangelical churches in the city. Definitely, sounds like a place Jesus would hang out, don't you think? I have been and shall continue to set up appointments to do some interviews with people already "doing the stuff" of working with orphans, gypsies, etc in the city and learn from the people that have labored hours upon hours for the sake of God's love for the widows and orphans.
Over the past few months I have been led by the Holy Spirit to pursue teaching English in Bucuresti as a native speaker in addition to pursuing church planting and social justice work. Thus, I have been connected to some folks that can help be a part of this happening as well. I want to earn my own support as much as possible by teaching English and use whatever resources I earn above and beyond what I need to survive to go into ministry. Most importantly, I want to empower the Romanians that will join our team to take ownership of their church and community and give to their own people group-- heart, time, energy, and money.
Most of my basic needs have been covered for this trip financially by way of working in Denver this past late winter and early spring, however, I am still wanting to raise about $1,000 to give back to the community of the Bucuresti International Church. They give so generously to the underprivileged of Bucuresti and have been so supportive of my transition here in Bucharest. I am truly grateful for Jesus putting this community in my life. Also, I am so grateful for my vast family in the States that has been a part of this journey with me. Please see this webpage for ways to give if you feel called to do so and please continue to pray for me while I am here and for this city.
I leave you with a picture of what God has recently given me and a dear pastor friend of mine here in Bucharest, a picture of a vast field of golden wheat with a gorgeous sunset at the horizon. This is Bucuresti, my friends, a harvest of the Kingdom waiting to happen.....

Planting roots in this city....
has been one of the best things that God has done during this trip. Those roots have been planted in the lives of people. My relationships have had a chance to truly develop more and more since I have been here this time around. Also, my friendships within the Bucharest International Church have been a blessing and quite frankly are priceless.
The majority of my time has been spent encouraging women in the local church, starting a small group, assisting with some behind the scenes needs in the community, continuing to grow in the language and culture, and doing some more indepth reading to help me think through this city and what God wants to do here.
I have been really encouraged in our small group of women and seeing Jesus grasp a hold of the hearts of the young Romanian women and seeing Jesus bring more freedom and more of his love into their lives. As a small group, we have served orphans together, sang some karaoke, and engaged in real life conversation, prayer, and teaching of the Old and New Testaments, laughed together, and cried together. I have been helping one of the ladies be ready to take over the group when I leave on December 14th. I am really excited about these young ladies continuing to grow together and also be open to other women who need a place of belonging to foster their growth in following Jesus.
There was a specific night when I just could not sleep about a month ago that Jesus clearly reminded me once again how clearly he has called me and a team of people to reach the underprivilieged of this city and to start a gathering of people that really goes for it in that population. He often has been speaking me to his heart for both the widows and orphans and his heart for us to empower local Romanians to also care for their "least of these." From the orphanages to the numerous elderly people begging on the streets, I am constantly reminded of God's heart and what will come.
To make this all tangible, I was going to the grocery store with my friend Rami and there was an older woman who began sharing with usr how she doesn't have enough money to cover her expenses and how her family is negligent of her needs. We offered to pray for her and as we ded she bagan to cry and a smile broke through her tears. We invited her over to dinner that night but she was unable to come because she didn't feel safe walking outside in the dark. This was a simple yet powerful picture for me and even deeper conviction of how God wants to pour his love over the underprivileged and also this whole city of Bucharest.
With all of that said, God has also confirmed strongly for two of my friends from the states to be moving here with me when the time is right... which honestly, is much sonner than later.
I am in the process of leaving this country of my heart again on December 14th. Then I head to the Czech Republic for another 4 and half days and then fly to Denver on December 19th.
I will then spend a few weeks in Ohio until January 10th with my family for the holidays.
What I need?
Prayer and resources for the practical things
- I sitll need to raise $1000 to cover the cost of this trip.
- I need a car to borrow, or be able to take over someone's loan payment for a few months and drive their car when I return on January 10 through the end of March.
- I have one job but pray that I get enough hours at that location.
-Continue to raise support for the next trip in the spring of 2013.
Pray for my budding relationships here in Bucharest
- My relationships within the Bucharest International Church
-My small group of women
-My friends with others that are church planters and / or pastors in this city
When will I return?
The scheduled return is for early April 2013 for my next 3 months to serve in Bucharest and to continue stepping in step with what the Father is doing to reach the underprivileged of this city and to serve the local church in the process.

Back at Home in Bucharest.
As many of you know, I returned early on my last journey from Romania because of visa complications back in mid-Februrary 2012. I spent the last 7 months working at a couple of my old social work jobs, met some new friends, spent quality time with the old ones, and made a plan with my pastor and friend, Jay Pathak, to come back for two more 3 month trips before taking the next big step to move here permanently. I am now in Bucharest for that next trip and I returned on September 16th. I am working again with the same loving community that I had joined with before - Bucharest International Church.
During my time in these 3 short months, I am coninuing to grow in building relationships, continuing to learn the culture and language, I am focused on helping start a small group, discipling a new leader for the group, and starting an outreach conversation group with some people who have yet to know Jesus. I am also helping serve this community in any other ways that I can on Sundays, during their prayer meetings, and other events that happen with young adults. Most of all, I continue to be humbled by God as I know this is the place that he has me to be for this time and place in my gradual transition towards living full time in this country.
I am grateful for my community worldwide that Jesus has given me along my journey with Him - growing as a young girl in southern Ohio, finding myself and planting my roots to mature in Colorado, and now in gradual transplanting mode to Romania to love and be loved along the way by amazing people. This is why I am back at home in Bucharest.
I have raised 3/4 of the money have needed for this trip by working in these last months but there is about $2000 I still need to raise for expenses while I am here. These expenses include food, rent/utilities, transportation, language lessons, and money to bless the Bucharest International Church community. My goal is to have it raised by November 16th and my departure date to leave Romania is December 14th. You can give online or mail a check as before please see the side column on the blog for details if you feel called to do so. I am grateful for you prayers, friendship, and ongoing support.
Thank you for being a part of my story and joining in the greater story of God's heart for the people of Romania.

The latest and greatest...
Through the rest of December and to the present I have spent some quality time building relationships in the church that I am serving at - Bucharest International Church - and with other area pastors and church planters in the city. I have found myself graced with a core of friends that I will be doing ministry in the city of Bucharest for many years to come. In the meantime, I have been able to experience and support what they are all already doing in the city (working with refugees, the poor, single mothers, addicts in recovery getting off of the streets). The biggest thing that has been on my heart will begin next Monday as some of my new found friends and I will gather together to begin a collective prayer meeting to pray for both Bucharest and the country of Romania.
I have been spending my time not only experiencing their ministries but praying about God's specific heart for me and others to engage in. I am still praying through the details of this but I can say my heart is being lead towards the Universitate and Romana sections of the city. Both University students and street people hang out in this area. I have had a few experiences praying for people here and have seen Jesus engaging their hearts. This is beautiful. I believe this is a small scale of what is to come and what God wants to do in this part of the city.
I have had some fun experiences with my friends inviting me to the countryside to see the Christmas Eve tradition of the Pig slaughtering. I even tasted the traditional pig skin delicacy (after it was torched and cooked). Not bad actually. I had a great time with them and through out Christmas with other new found "family" and friends celebrating Christmas with lots of meat and lot of love.
After trying to figure out the process for a possible stay for the whole 6 months, I have decided to return back to the states after 3 months on February 8th because of some laws that have changed that I was not aware of since I have been in the country. Missionaries used to be able to go in and out of the country for a week and return to renew their tourist visa. Because the law has changed regarding this in the past few months, I do not want to risk obtaining any fines or tarnishing my record. I shall come home on February 8 for 3-4 months with hopes to return for a second short term of time in May. During this time I will be able to continue the process of building relationships that will join a church plant on both the Romanian and American sides.
Please pray for wisdom over the next 3 weeks as I continue to build relationships and pray around the city and please pray for unity amongst my friends and as we seek the heart of God together for both Bucharest and Romania.
Also, please pray for the country as many riots have been breaking out in a lot of cities in the country and in the city center of Bucharest in the Universitate and Romana areas which are very close to my apartment and the areas of the city that I have a heart for Jesus to show up in. Romanians are dissatisfied with the way their Presdient has been running the country. Go to www.romania-insider.com for more details.
Thank you all so much for your prayer and love. I will see you much sooner than later. Love to you all!
As usual, feel free to email, facebook, or skype me. My email is keldapolomik@gmail.com, facebook is Kelda Polomik, and skype is keldarosiecheeks. :)

On 11.11.11...
..I had my first full day in Bucharest. I was jetlagged and wide eyed with the knowledge that this place would quickly become my new home.
During the first two weeks, Emily and Tristan Ringering were with me and we had the opportunity to check out a few different organizations that work with children here in the city and we were able to meet the people that work day in and day out to care from them. We had the opportunity to hold and pray for some sweet little babies as well. The Ringerings and I did some prayer walks and offered to pray for a handful of people and we saw Jesus show up each time. Everyone was very soft hearted and teared up as we prayed with them and we saw Jesus engaging their hearts. There is an evident softness among the hearts of some of the Romanian people. Also, Tristan and Emily were a great help in helping me learn to get around this spider web of a city and with helping me set up the practical things in my apartment.
In addition, we connected with an amazing couple who are church planting on the outskirts of Bucharest on the northside of the city and we were able to see and meet the people in their newer community. While hanging out with them we were all challenged by the way that they love and follow the person of Jesus. Also, they live five minutes from my house in the heart of the city. More friends to become my family here on this side of the world.
I have been loved and received very well at the Bucharest International Church. I have been connecting with people there and serving in the community where needed. This is another key community that will be ministry friends of ours in the present and in the future. God has confirmed this very clearly to me.
A couple of weeks ago, I started my Romanian classes. The limited amount of the language I know has been my greatest challenge because I am restrained with what I can communicate to people. Fortunately, a lot of Romanians are gracious to me and they know English and together we communicate. Whew! I have also spent the last couple of weeks continuing to make connections and getting to know the people and culture. I have several friends that I believe have been strategically placed in my life and I appreciate the perspective they bring to me from an everday Romanian's worldview. One of them in particular is a person of peace and I see God softening his heart to draw him to Himself.
I am at home here and yet I am grateful for all of the homes that I have been a part of up to this point in my life. Christmas is coming soon and I have already had an invite to be with some of my friends. I am grateful for them. Each day Jesus is continuing to reveal bit by bit more of what he is doing as I live here.
Thank you for supporting me with prayer, relationship, and finances to help me to be here. I have raised $12,000 that is in the bank and/or by pledges and I still have $4,000 to still raise. I am truly grateful for my supporting family and friends in the states and my receiving friends here in Bucharest. Collectively, we shall see God unfold more and more of what he is doing here in Bucharest.
Side note: Feel free to email, skype, or facebook me! I would love to hear from you! :)
