Udates from the Estonia - From Christy

It's Christy... you will be amazed by this incredible place. You don't need to plan anything for VBS. Kulli and Meeli have everything ready for VBS.

They put me to shame. :-) What they need is for you to show up with people ready to love on kids. There are other little things we can do, like everyone on

The team could bring a "school supply" type kit for their group of 6 - 8 kids. I'll explain when I get home. They have kids that walk over from an orphanage and kids who ride the city bus alone to come to VBS. The city is filled with atheists. The kids know little to nothing about God... much different than what we are even able to understand. But they need folks to love on the kids and help them to realize that Agape Church is where they can feel loved. You will do a great job at that and they are counting the days until you arrive. I can't even express the joy on Kulli's face when we walked in the door. You would have thought it was Christmas morning.

I have gained 1,000 more blessings than I think I've brought to them. I've been humbled and learned so much from this church. One small thing I've learned that I hope we can do is hang up our children's artwork in displays on the walls. I will show you a picture of how they do it but it is so impressive and looks great!

Everyone in the church stops to look at the children's work. Joanne and Susan would benefit from a trip here as well. Their preschool program involves the parents through age 3. They don't drop off the kids... they stay and do the lessons with their child. I know, it's a shocker but it works well for them and is an incredible outreach to these non-believers.

I have lots more to share with you but that's just a taste. The beach is beautiful here. The food is good. The people are the salt of the earth. Prepare to be loved on!

Hope all is well in Tulsa... can't wait to see you

In Christ,
Christy Capps
