Update from Estonia - From Glen

It has been an amazing trip and we arrived back in Tallin this afternoon. We spent the night at Camp Gideon last night and went to dinner with Artur and Valentina. This man is unbelievable all the things he is doing for God, the church, camps, city council, and the list goes on and on… He wakes every morning to go to his church to pray at 6:00am, returns home for breakfast, then takes his kids to school and off to work again. He came to Tallin today to be filmed for a TV show. He is a spiritual leader in his community and was even asked by the Mayor to have special prayer services while the riots were going on a couple of weeks ago. Valentina is fasting for 3 days preparing for a group coming to camp on Thursday. They are an amazing couple.

We have all been blessed in our own special ways. As usual it feels as though we were the ones being ministered too. These people here are amazing and God is working in their hearts in a very special way.

Congratulations to all of you who have been to Estonia pray for and support Estonia in any way. Also for those who are coming to Estonia before the year is up… God is blessing your efforts and great works are being done. We have over 1,000 pics so we will have no problem showing or explaining to anyone what wonderful works Global Outreach is doing here in Estonia.

I just thought I would send you all a little update from to young men we met on our retreat with Agape Church. Vallo is 16 years old almost 17 and he is 6’7” tall. Joosep is 18 years old and loves Americans and the US like it is his Holy Land… I guarantee you this young man will not stop until he makes it to the US. They are both very good young men and have a heart for God and the church. Both of these boys will be in the 11th grade next year. Joosep was so excited to know that Earl (we have renamed him professor McGyver) knows Morse code. He is going to send Earl a coded message when we get back. It just looked it up on the internet a couple of weeks ago and taught himself. Now are you beginning to understand what I mean when I say nothing will stop this young man from making it to the US.

Well, I will finish by saying that our trip has been a huge success in our minds and our friends in Estonia are all very happy to have had us here… It means more to them than they or I can put into words…
