Heading back

These are my legs as I'm heading back to Estonia. Subic Bay sun burnt my legs into big red things.

I'm very happy for a privilege to serve Christ by coming to Philippines. Thankful for Dann Spader and Steve Hudson who led us all into bigger vision for impacting millions of youth around the world into disciplemakers.

There is one saying:

"Hi sir."

"Hi sir."

"Hi sir."

I have heard that sentence so many times that I am fulfilled with respect that Philipinos are able to give without knowing:) These small brown-skinned asians are one welcoming and open christian people.

Keep my travel to home in prayers as I am staying one night in HongKong. As well Greta and Wilma+Noomi who are waiting expectantly their great hero to arrive home.

Im ready to serve Christ again in my country.

2 fathers

Look at this picture. I have found 2 fathers on the globe. Right one just recently, and his name is Abraham (hebrew: father of all nations). Left one is Roger, he is my father in law.

Both of them lead movements of people. Roger in Finland, mobilizing Workers to do the work of Union. Abraham in India, mobilizing Christians to do the work of Jesus.

They are very similar indeed. They process and express their thoughts in a similar way. Both have a lot of experience and common sense of humor. Both have wife at home and love their daughters, very much.

Not to mention their close ties to Swedish culture and people.

I am glad indeed I have found them.

Trip to Philippines

This coming week I will be in Philippines at Global Youth Initiative. It is a movement of God where also our Eastern-Europe region is part of. I will be there to study how Jesus multiplied leaders.

It will be a lot of fun. 90F/35 Celsius warm. Crazy, compared to snowy Estonia.

There i will also finish my 30-day study on resting. I will take also time to search for Dave Patty (my mentor) fathers thumb that was left there during building-times.

Pray for Greta, Wilma and Noomi as they are alone at home.

Pray that Greta would have a lot of energy and sleep.

Pray that car won't brake down.

Pray that Greta would rely on Jesus power and presence.

Trip ahead

I am now in the phase where Jesus was long time ago. He was traveling around the country with his closest disciples with him. Last week we traveled through Western-Estonia, taking 2 leaders with us, visiting 3 youth-ministries and proclaiming gospel on the run.

It is fun.

This time it will take 2 days. Please pray that as we travel with Innar, Kuldar and Andrus... we could have lot of blessings to give to many. And that outcome would be growth in Christs church.

Please pray also for our families, since they will be with the children for many hours. That homes wouldnt get too messy during that time and babies would take time to smile.

My vacation

I spent my vacation in Finland. This is where my Better Half is from. Thank you Roger and Margareta for letting me have opportunities to rest. Thanks for taking care of Wilma and Noomi!

Unbelieveing Estonians Believing

I live in a very weird nation. Some have called it forest-people. People who would rather stay under the trees, watching the village-life. Feeling some-why secure because of that and showing fists and making comments about things that are foreign to their eyes.

"Christianity is irrelevant" is so true, even though it sounds like a cliche.

It is weird how people have as if magic shoes that take them to graveyards with candles to be with their ancestors. It is weird to see people desiring this feel from church. It is weird to have neighbors who ask what star was up when I (the lucky and blessed one) was born.

Gospel is not on the highway here. People don't let it in, and sick don't get healed. What shall a prophet do?

It puts me into situation where it is hard to love God and people.
