Kris and Raili: News November 2011

Dear Friends!

We thought it was about time to give everyone a update on our life and work here in Estonia.

First we are happy that Ryan is now becoming fluent in the Estonian language. He is going to kindergarten and has a lot of opportunity to learn his mothers native tongue. He really is enjoying singing these cute kid songs. Raili sings with him, many of the same songs she learned at kindergarten.

Aaron is continuing on with home school and is part of a archery training class. He continues to become more articulate and savvy at computer games as well.

We have had many difficulties with Rosie (our niece and foster child) over the last few weeks. She currently is living at a mental health facility for her own safety and visits us frequently. We are trying to find a new school for her, the previous one did not work out. We are just taking it a day at a time and trusting God to work His best in her life.

Raili is now the Voice for Joyce Meyers in the Estonian language for Life TV. She works hard on the translation,voice recording and editing every week. It is great to watch the programs and hear Raili's voice bring the excellent teaching for the Estonian people. Though it is quite a project she is fulfilled in doing it for the glory of God.

We have many opportunities to share the Word Of God and do worship in different churches. I thoroughly enjoy preparing messages and preaching, I know it's the Word that changes lives. We have a vision to expand this outreach of sharing the Word of God you can read our vision at our blog.

Recently we started having some meetings in our city of Viljandi. Currently the emphasis is on worship and a little teaching. It has been a blessing worshiping with our new friend Veiko, a fine piano player and brother in Christ. Our heart continues to go out for this city there is just not much going on here for the Kingdom Of God. There have been a few people coming to our services and whoever has come, has been blessed by the Word and worship. We rented a hall for these meetings, but we really don't have a budget to pay the 75 Dollars a month for it. If your church could help with this, it would be a great blessing!

Also we plan on doing a Christmas outreach for the children in the Psychiatric Hospital in our town.

Many times the children there have no visitors or gifts during the Christmas season. Most of the parents of these children are either alcoholics or mentally ill. We believe we can minister to them with a nice Christmas program and some nice presents. If you have in your heart to help us with that, it would be appreciated!

We are doing our best to do what needs to be done here and our continuing seeking God for his best for our lives as well as Viljandi, Estonia and Europe.

As many of you know this trip was in response to do our best to save the life of our niece and we did not have the time to gain the necessary mission support. Currently we need to raise about 1000 a month to continue living and minister here. To be honest the spiritual condition in Estonia and Europe is dreadful. The people as a whole are totally unprepared for what is happening in the Earth. Almost daily we see another sign of the soon return of Christ and hundreds of millions of people are in the dark in this part of the world. We have a beachhead here and we need to move forward with the vision in our heart. The hope is the Church to arise and shine and share the glorious gospel. God has been equipping Raili and myself for this hour since 1996 when we started our ministry. I am ready to teach,preach evangelize, sing and whatever else I need to do.

Please stand with us in this critical hour and help us launch out into this new phase of our ministry. Please prayerful consider partnering with us in this important Gospel work. Also there is an immediate need of 500 Dollars to pay some bills. We also appreciate your prayers and especially for Rosie during this challenging time for her.

In Jesus,

Kris and Raili
