Being father

I do not know how media around you influences you to think, but here in Estonia...

It is not so common to be father at home (as I am). 4% use that opportunity. I do not also know if you get payed for that, but we do. We get average monthly pay, what we used to earn 2 years back.

For me its little less than 350 dollars (260 euros) a month. Not so much, it makes me sometimes jealous of others, but it definitely was my own decision. To be a father, and stay at home.

But what makes me loose my temper is the thing that people in the media more and more often say. "Oh, times have come and roles of sex are changing." Oh no, it is not so.

I am definitely a man and father still, and Greta looks still like woman and plays the role of a mother. Yes, she has perfume and I still am like man, wash not so often myself.

But why Märt you are at fathers-vacation?
1. It has been surveyed that average father spends 2 minutes a week with his child. And I wanted more!
2. That way I am thinking financially into future and if God gives us more children then Greta can have more than minimum mothers-pay.

Glimpse of the funeral

Elvi Maria Wasberg, Gretas grandmother, moved this week to the heaven. This is a video that gives you a glimpse of swe-fin funeral and if you haven´t heard before, then also a opportunity to hear my wife singing.

Relying on Spirits power

I am definitely again on the new landmark. First-ever fundraising behind my back, snow on the ground of Estonia, we just formed a new team (of 4!) and we are heading with our family to Finland. Gretas grandmother passed away.

If you have been in more close contact with me, then you probably know that I repented in September. Mark Driscoll, Jeff Vanderstelt, Dave Patty and other godly men led me (probably without knowing it) back to Spirit.

Holy Spirit. How powerful you are?!

I know that I, Märt Saar, am rather powerful man. I can convince people with my tongue. I can make children laugh and close ones cry. I have lot of integrity with my background and family, church as well. I am sitting on so many power-positions that it often leads me back to the temptation:

"rely on Märt and His mighty power!"

John Miller, whos book ("The heart of a Servant Leader") I am reading right now, has reminded me again... You cannot live your life or do your ministry without being Spirit-led. Oh man, even though I am so young I have so many times made my speeches and teachings Märt-or-logic-or-humor-or-creativity centered.

Again and again I need to repent and see how stupid it is. And my life should be always Christ-centered and Spirit-empowered! Otherwise there is no hope, no change, or glory to God.

Pray for me!

Special message

Bush, Saar ja Palin

As I traveled around States I had opportunity to meet with Bush and Palin. Even thought for many they are not the best leaders ever, for me it was an honour to shake their hands.

Training leaders

Heyaho. It is good to be back in Estonia, and man... it is challenging here.

As airplane landed, whole country was in darkness. For me it is kinda symbolic, because for many souls it is so. Estonia has been surveyed to be one of the most secular countries in the world. And I live here!

Right now I am in the basement. It is pentecostal church, just by our government building (Toompea). Our fellow friends from Chicago, WillowCreek are doing with us leadership conference for 300 leaders here is Estonia. I am glad.

It is good also to spend that way time with my earthly father, because on many occasions we just do not meet. And Ago Lilleorg, bishop of Pentecostal movement here, said yesterday evening to me and brother Peep that it is great joy of his to see young generation stepping up in leadership.

It is great joy indeed!

Visitors have tripled!

I must be glad. There is a reason for that. This blog has tripled its readers in less than 2 weeks! It might be because I just met with you and you wanted to know how is my travel in US.

Not many visited before. About 9 per day (meaning 27 max regular visitors). Now there have been days when I have had 24 different readers per day. It means that there are probably more than 50 foreign visitors outside of Estonia!

I must be glad.

Thank you for visiting, and please do it again. If you are on of the prayer-warriors you definitely have a reason for coming back! Trust me.

Photos of Visionnight

I am not sure if I ever get back to such glorious hotel-room in US. One table belonged also to me, so that whole bunch of western friends could eat cake with me.


They are Daryl and Betsy, who have taken many of our team-members under their wings. They are lifelong advocates. True fans of estonians.











My dear host Jim (on a right hand) got an amazing opportunity to meet Josiah Venture president, Dave Patty. Who I also consider as my mentor. They were chit-chatting.


One man with a hat. I actually do not know him that well.

Wilmas birthday

Thank you all who remembered during my travel-time, that Wilma had a birthday! 6November. Greta had some guests over, and she made her choc-cake. It is a bummer that my dear little has rather high Fever. (maybe because of teeth)

Greta took 2days off. I am glad that now both of them can spend also time together.

Yesterdays vision-night was a great one. I would give 9 point out of 10. Many said that Dave Pattys speech was best part of it (yes, even here in Stanleys-city). Indeed, evening was inspiring and challenging in a same time. I got at least 2 supporters which I am very glad of!

My next destination will be Obamas-city. Famous pizza and wind-town. I am waiting forward to see also some of my blog-readers there!

Goodbye Vietnam (interview)

It is 5th November. In Estonia time shows 6:30. This is the time when my daughter Wilma has a first birthday.

In a same time, this is the day, 4th November 11:30 pm, time when United States of America has a new president and he is Barack Obama. This is the same moment when my daughter became 1 year old!

New president of US is black-skinned, socialistic and totally different leader. He is 44th president here in America.

And now! I would like to talk shortly with one of the citizens who voted for Obama, Jim Campbell. Lets look how his attitude toward the future looks like and what is waiting in times to come both for him and probably the whole world...

The most important question

I just made 5 videos in Atlanta, Buckhead area, asking different people questions. It is a histroical day for United States, as first polls are closing down now...

Who is Märt?

"Man, you must know it all," as my bro Adam would say here in Atlanta. "You could write a book about that."

About what?

Actually, I am sure that most people shouldn't write a book about me! Well, at least not about my work or role description. I find it sad, because I try to introduce myself here in US, but so often people are thinking I am just a church-partner of NorthPoint, being part of Risttee church. And the main guy there is Peep.

It is 25% true.

I have given actually my life to whole Estonia and especially young leaders. Not youth leaders, but young leaders. Those, who shape businesses, plant churches and yes, those who vision-cast this new generation also in churches.

I find my job to be very important.

And I find it confusing if all that people know about my fatherland is that we are post-communist and probably we do not have even our own language.

"Tavaline eestlane solvuks selle peale," as I would say about that.

Soldier father

Brian is a soldier. Having had his wars in Iraq and Afganistan for years. And even other places. But actually he is relatively young guy. Yes, older than me, but still ready to eat steak with me.

My dear friend Adam introduced him to me.

"My biggest flaw is drinking," said Brian with deep voice of a soldier and laughed with masculinity. His hear was nicely cut straight, but his eyeglasses still give him a smart look. "But you know, everyone has their flaw. For some these are relationships, for some something else..."

What I really liked about Brian was the fact that he never looked me up-down. Because, what do I have to offer him with an experience of an Estonian army? Or why should he bother explaining me what one or another thing means in steak-menu?

He has four children. One he wanted stop coming, but then still let come. "I wouldn't imagine my life without that last kid."

Actually, one of his key moments of life was the day when his wife asked him to stop going to war. As a lovely believer woman she is, she never threatened him with divorce, but simply said: you have two options... you know your family or time passes and you won't any more.

Brian made the right choice. And so we were there, drinking. He his beer and me my orange juice. But Brian is actually still a soldier... they go with their family shooting. Both with 800m rifles and also with compound-bows. For me - honestly - that sounds neat!
