Its been awhile!!
Hi, yes, it has been awhile! We havent updated since the Congress in Helsinki in September....Our apologies! It has been a busy and eventful month since then....let us fill you in just a little!!....Congress was certainly a catalyst in many ways....In our delegation of about thirty there were many for whom this was their first "exposure" to the larger Army...and it was wonderful for them!! In this new energy we have begun a new Soldiership (membership) class with 6 people...all of them in their teens or twenties...our own Sarah included! We have had our share of heartbreak in our work here....Satan has won some battles (but not the war) with more than a few...so this comes as a great encouragement to us personally! We have begun our fall "programs" (not too fond of that word..but what else do you call "them"?). Our emphasis is to reach out to the many 65 or so, new kids that were reached with outdoor evangelism this summer and fall....this has started well, with 6 or so of the new children coming, and our people are always following up with phone calls and letters! Keep praying!! We have also begun a work in "Lasnamae" in the Armys youth center there. This is a heavily populated Russian speaking part of Tallinn...notorious for some pretty awful things....that is o.k., the Light always shines brighter in darkness....Pictures soon to follow!
