Clearly it's all hands on deck to get everything done on time.

 At last the Grand Opening weekend came.

On Friday September 9, 2011, Michal welcomed local clergy & civil authorities along with the business' that had a part in remodeling the conference center.

This included a tour of the buildings and premises conducted by Lukasz; Greg and the local Mayor officially cutting the ribbon, followed by a beautiful banquet spread prepared by our amazing cooking staff.

Saturday we took time as Fala staff (the Polish organization we work with), family, friends and donors who traveled to Poland for the celebration to reminisce the many miracles God had done over the 7 years to purchase and renovate.

On Sunday we had a Grand Opening Celebration with local churches who have prayed for us, worked alongside us, encouraged us to press on when it got tough, lived life with us these many years.

We are pleased for all that God has done over the last 7 years with the project and what He has done with our team and us as individuals. He didn't wait to use H2O as a tool to change the lives of so many Polish youth (Canadian, Irish, American, Czech as well), but used it each time someone was there.

We dedicate it to Him.
