Friends:
I must ask your forgiveness for not blogging more regularly, we are often not near a computer and so the blogs are few and far between.
Last week we spent the week in Tallinn, Major Bill Groff was here making sure we were all well and everything was running smoothly. :) Have you ever felt well taken care of? As team leader, I must tell you that I do. I am very well protected by my bosses and measures have been taken to make sure that I can do my job, empowerment, PRAISE GOD!
Saturday and Sunday was spent in the town of Voru in southern Estonia where the only Estonian officer serves. Needless to say, she is very proud of that fact. Leading open airs and childrens club have become our gift to the corps we visit. Small numbers are often what we deal with, however we are not discouraged, we just get to love on those kids all the more.
Sunday afernoon at 3 pm we had our church service, a nice change from my usual 9.30 Montclair service. Again the girls put their best foot forward, and this time it was Alberta`s turn to preach. It is wonderful the opportunities that the girls have been presented with being here in Estonia.
I must go, Internet time is limited, as is my patience with an Estonian/Russian keyboard! :)
Keep your personal words of encouragement coming to the girls, you have no idea how it delights them. It is not a good day for any of them when they return from checking their e-mail having heard from no one.
Much love

Praying for you all this week at camp. Feeling very connected in my heart with your ministry. Jesus is with you. Praise Him.

We too are doing community out reach with the use of children's openairs in Mancheter, NH. We are blessed to have Cadets Jason and Jennifer Brake co-laobring a with us. Yesterday there were too many children (100+) and too much organized activity in our chosen location. So we prayed for the Lord to lead us where someone need to gospel we would be sharing. We ended up at Victory Park and did more of a Mom's and Kids open air. One mom and her family (including a husband who wasn't present for the open air but came by after) just relocated to Manchester from Iraq a week ago. They spoke very little english. We gave Mom bibles for herself and the children which she gladly accepted. The other mom, a pregnant single mother of two who just left an abusive relationship because the abuse was beginning to get to her children. We exchanged names and addresses and an invitation to Children's Church. We don't really have a Children's Church program but we will when they show up. We're committed. God bless you as you labor in your vineyard and we in ours and each at the same time in God's.
Love in the strong name of Jesus.
