Update from Dick

Well, its Saturday morning here and we getting ready to go eat breakfast and then head across town to Church to leave on the retreat. It is such an exciting time for us all. Yesterday when we toured the church and found out the have essentially a full basement it gives us great opportunities to help them expand their present facilities. They have had some others here lending their time and efforts and funds to help prepare the basement as well. The church is beautiful backing up to a local park. Dick, Christy and I will get to speak at the retreat today and Dick will get to do the sermon tomorrow at church as well. We are all very excited about these opportunities. While Christy was visiting with Kulli yesterday she was told how the very young kids walk or even ride busses to come to bible school in the summer time (could you imagine that happening in the US, I think not.)

We also visited the Seminary in Tallin yesterday before we left and Christie was able to make a connection there too, with a woman whom she is going to send materials too as well.

This trip is very relationship oriented. We are building relationships so that we are better able to help serve their needs here and understand what those needs will include. I am praying that I will meet a man and woman who will be willing to "Champion Celebrate Recovery." I have brought over materials in Russian as well as English. Please pray for us all that we will recognize the opportunities God puts in front of us to help our brothers and sisters in Christ of Estonia.
