We had good meeting at Paide Baptist Church. Paide is the city Raili was born and raised and lived there until moving to Nashville in 1995. Raili's grandmother used to go that church and even brought Raili along few times when she was a child. The current pastors even remember her grandmother. She used be bi-lingual, so she used to translate from Estonian into Russian for the Russian speaking people at the church. And now... Raili is translating from English into Estonian there... Interesting!
Whenever I (Raili) read the scripture about the great cloud of witnesses cheering us on, I always think of my grandmother in heaven.
We had a wonderful service at the church there, where we the pastors are our dear friends and we have several other friends there as well.
We were leading worship with their team. We chose some older songs to sing so that the congregation could sing along easily and then we also chose couple of newer songs. (Way Maker and Worthy of it all.) The pastors wife said, they have been wanting to learn those songs with their worship team, but did not have anybody to teach them really. So, she was very happy that we picked those songs and sang it with them, now they learned them too!
There was a wonderful presence of the Lord at the meeting, as people were worshipping along.
At the end of service, we also prayed for several people. One young lady needed deliverance from depression and anxiety. She was in tears when Kris prayed for her. Later she testified, she was touched by the Lord and feels very different and totally free.
Praise God!
