15 hats

Have you ever wondered what hats are you wearing. These are called to be your identities behind your responsibilities. Some of them are easy to wear, some need long-term learning. 

I am wearing "son hat", but also "father hat". Sometimes, especially when I am tired and not able to clarify, this brings confusion to people what hat am I wearing.

I have 15 hats. How many hats you have?

Jaak and repenting

As many of you know there is God moving in Estonia right now. Even in Tartu, as i heard in States. This movement of Spirit started happening in a strong way when one 21-old guy got lost.

It was Jaak, one friend of our church-youth, who got lost. He was at night (4pm) by nightclub and then walked away and disappeared. As he has many friends, many have started searching for him.

Police went through the river Emajõgi. And as one of the witch of Estonia (called Sergei) claimed: he knows where he is! He is still in Tartu, by the Raadi airport and still alive... Lot of people went to search him. And surprise-surprise, his friends said that they are in a situation where they would believe even in UFOs.

But some have started searching not for just Jaak, but for kingdom of God! And as we are searching both Jesus Christ and Jaak, many of our church-people have started repenting. Confessing their sins and praying.

There are lot of healed marriages and cured friendships. There are many chains-of-sins that have got loose during these past 3 weeks.

Many have witnessed that lot of things started happening when Romanian prohpet Theo came to town. Who could have known that as he was just visiting my little sister, that God is doing something much bigger?

Sin during Sabbath

Why was Sabbath created? Was man for Sabbath or was that day of rest and recreation for man? It was for a man, and not to make his life more difficult, but easier. So said a man who claimed himself to be a Lord of the Sabbath.

I truly have experienced what does it feel to sin during Sabbath. And i think, man - it's not a good thing.

I was 3 weeks in States and 4th week in Estonia I survived. Every day i slept, and on 5th day i became ill. I had a fever and my sheets became sweaty. It was a sweat of selfish sin.

Look at the soil and see what happens with it when you use it too much. Soil-structure becomes weak and it gets destroyed. Look at the berries and see what do they want to do every 2nd or 3rd year.

God has created rest into our structure. We need it. You should look not only soil or berries, but also yourself and see that you are not a Lord of Sabbath. But someone really is and cares for you.

We really do not need to sweat the sheets.

Dead man walking

God is a provider. We are consumers. It definitely is so.

As I have been back in Estonia, I haven't done anything but sleeping and dead-walking. During my sleeps with Wilma, Greta has had opportunities to meet some of her friends. I get to sleep, Wilma gets to be in the most-warm lap and Greta creates relationships.

Who can say that God is not a multitask organizer, the real provider?

Btw, I had birthday on 20th October. I am now 25 years old. I did not party, but I still expect gifts:)

Back in Est

Hi y'all. As our southern north-americans would say. We are back in Estonia. Innar went to get Siiri and Elli from Latvia. And Kuldar is with his family on his way back to our one of the most secular countries.

It is a joy to be back. Not only because its my birthday and i got 25 years old... but to start seeing people we are ministering again. Especially Greta and Wilma. They have grown alot. Greta has new haircut (little color in head) and Wilma speaks lot of Swedish.

I just cancelled one of our evangelism-training for lutheran youth, because we feel that we need to focus even more on fundraise. We did got more than 300 contacts from States, but keeping relationships needs right now lot of attention!

Please pray that i would be a good friend for many as my new 2/4th century starts.
