Polish Adventists gathering at the 22nd Australian Polish Adventist Congress in Melbourne (Vic) raised more than $A4200 for Tomasz Grzesikowski—an Adventist man with cerebral palsy who is also renowned for his charitability back in Poland.
During the event’s charity concert on December 28, 2019, Pastor Roman Chalupka reflected on Mr Grzesikowski’s ability to inspire others into humanitarian action.
“He’s always inspiring to serve others,” Pastor Chalupka said. “I recall when he got together an action for people to give blood. There were more than 100 individuals who donated blood. It wasn’t that he required that blood—it was others.”
The diverse concert closed out six sessions of meetings, which also featured Andrew University associate professor Dr Cedric Vine, Polish Union Conference youth director Pastor Marek Micyk and Pastor Andrzej Adams.
