Well, one word could say more than thousand pictures, but I'll try to cover the activities of 3 weeks in a few pictures and words, too...
After a short break in Saaremaa we drove to Turi in central Estonia. There we stayed at and worked with a local church. That was a little bit difficult time for us as a team as there was not much work to do and it was difficult to even do anything outdoors as it was raining almost all the time. The difficult time, however, brought us somewhat closer to each other as a team. We also made good friends with some of the youth in the church.
In Tallinn did some cleaning and minor maintenance at the base. We also did prayer walks in Tallinn and an overnight prayer "marathon", during which God spoke to us many things. That was a great night! We also visited the city of Narva in the east (and we saw Russia!!) and did another visit to Turi. Many different people shared of their insight and visions for Estonia and we were really thrilled to hear of many interesting stuff. In total, during our trip we drove some 7000 km.
The last days we spent in the base in Tallinn for debriefing etc. Even though some of our expectations were not met, we were really delighted when, on the very last day, God shared His heart about the expectations, encouraging us that even though we might not be happy as we did not see all the great things we were expecting, He was still rejoicing over our trip and work more than we did ourselves! Wow! Our Father is so Good! The Baltic countries still may need a lot of "preparing the soil" before greater things can happen. Let us pray that the greater things will happen on God's time!!
...going all the way...
