Twinkle twinkle

Guitarplayer for Toby Mac and Matt Redman is teaching us a song what to sing when your child does not want to sleep. I am proud I can know Alex and his heart for our nation, church and family.

Youthwork is deadly

One american youthworker, who has been in Estonia, got hit by his car.

Headhurt is good

This weekend we had the biggest training "Burning Bulb" for young leaders there has been probably ever before here in Estonia. Little less than 100 most passionate Christ-followers drove for 3-day long time central city of Estonia, paying money for that.

I definitely was tired from the beginning. I really did not know how it will go. Lot of power-struggles in my head. Because we did it together with baptist-pentecostal-lutheran-methodist-adventist leaders training even freechurch and word of life people.

But as it came out: God was really there. People really got led and equipped and not manipulated. And as GoingUP team (me, Innar, Chris) are having rest-days today and tomorrow, my head hurts.

Showing that I had been really caring for them. This is my job, feed the young sheep. From the country Estonia, most pagan place in the world...

Admin or people

It probably is old truth, but when we work, our focus gets very easily on the tasks and not the people. On the problems, and not the problemmakers.

And as your workload increases, it is possible to sink into tons of e-mails and even phonecalls, maybe even meetings, but less and less there is time for just for being with people.

Fortunately i do not need positive thinking to get out of it. Good old gospel helps me understand that I do not need to keep the world together. And if my focus is on people, the results are anyways in the hands of Allmighty.

It is actually very humbling to work with people. Tasks, things and whatever administration is in our hands, but people... never.

Debt free

Thanks for all!

Money matters

I was very little when ABBA songs were popular in a true way. But now their words are still prophetic.

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball

As storm is right now rolling around the world. Little boat called Estonia which has only 1,4 million people on the board, is trying to survive. They say that in almost a month 100 000 people are out of the boat, without job.

Whos fault is it? Politicians? Greed of a mans heart? Or our Heavenly Father?

Well, I am a non-popular preacher. I really believe that behind the death of money is God. Bible says that God owns it all. Also money. And it also says that God is still Gracious.

But if God owns it all, who am I?

Bible says that I am a steward, and if I become stupid with the money that has trusted in my hands, then God takes it away. Money matters, but trustworthyness matters more.

Do you believe that if your father gives you less money, he still loves you?
