Many of you know of God's leading and the vision He as planted for a part of Tallinn that some call "The Lines". This is a part of town were the tramm lines end and is thought to be the worst part of Tallinn. These apartments, which are situated on one of two peninsulas in Tallinn, where formerly occupied by Russian military. When they vacated, many of these places where just "homesteaded", with many residents having no legal standing to be living where they live. Since these places are right on the water, the long range plan is to develop a harbour and build housing for the rich. Many of the undocumented people will be displaced with no where to go and no assistance from the Government!
But we are moving in the window of opportunity that is now! And God is making a way for us! We have been looking for quite a long time for a permanent place in the midst of The Lines, from which to center, daily consistent ministry to the children and families. No realtor would work with us in that part of town. A knock on the door of a Yogurt factory by Major Derek Tyrrell found us two rooms and a shed which can be renovated into our youth center!! Here is the part only God could do.....It is within thirty feet of where we have conducted our outdoor ministry in the past!! I
We contacted a very prominent Estonian architecht who has designed many of the leading buildings here in Tallinn. We were hoping that we could just have a meeting with him to discuss our vision and passion. We had heard that he was a Christian and might be sympathetic. Our secretary called for the first time today and he personally wants to travel to The Lines with us this Thursday at 1:00!!
Friends, this is the stuff that keeps you going! Pray for us this Thursday at 1!!
