I was born to Baptist parents who were peasants and active members of a local Baptist congregation in eastern Poland.

This passage points out that through the victories of faith visible to others, Christians can become the fragrance of Christ among those who surround us.

Billy Graham, Nelson Mandela and Genya Trusiewicz (my wife).
5. What is one little-known fact about yourself?
I always spend my vacation in a remote village where I grew up and enjoy biking and picking mushrooms in local forests.
