Divine Detour to Lifelong Connection

Chad, Pastor Marek, Peggy, Stephanie, & Susan

In 2007, I (Chad) was in Europe on a mission, but found myself confused and feeling like a failure when things didn’t work out as I had envisioned. My dad made contact with a former CFNI student and friend in Poland, and facilitated my appointment there with Pastor Marek. I ended up out in the country, in a small town that felt like the middle of nowhere. Little did I know that that “detour” would start a wonderful friendship that has lasted since. Pastor Marek and I have been good friends ever since I stayed at his Christian Center (formally mafia hotel) in 2007. My dad had been there several times and my mom has also been there speaking at churches/conferences over the years. I have been back many times to minister in Poland. Every year, we are honored to spend time with Pastor Marek when he comes through Dallas on his way to cast the vision and raise money in various parts of the United States. On his recent trip, I was privileged to have Pastor Marek teach my Multicultural Perspectives class in the 3rd Year Program at Christ for the Nations.
