This is Kaili! She was one of my Estonian speaking readers. She came late into the program but we still got to know each other very quickly and she is such a sweet person. I loved getting to know and talk with her about our lives and our beliefs about God, even if it was for a short time! She is going to continue reading with Brandon once we go back home, so pray that their lessons may be blessed!
This is Artjom! He is a member here at the church and has done LST several times, so we worked on an Acts workbook instead of Luke so we could cover new topics. He has such a kind heart and we really bonded about the ups and downs of living our lives as Christians in this world.
This is Katrin, who is also an Estonian speaking reader! My sessions with Katrin have been so enriching. She is really searching for something to believe in, so we usually spend the whole lesson discussing anything and everything about our beliefs! She is so open and asks me so many questions and I am just so excited about what God is doing in her heart. Please pray that she will find Him!
Alex is also a member of the church here and we are working on the Book of Acts. This kid is hilarious, we laugh together a lot and he teaches me so many things and I teach him. He is very interested in gaining knowledge about the world and the Bible, so reading with him is always entertaining.
This is Jana. Such a sweetheart. I have really connected with this girl. She has opened up to me about the struggles she has dealt with in her life, and she really soaks in what I tell her about God's love and His purpose for each of us. She is incredibly sweet and could really use a strong relationship with God to help guide her through life, so please pray that she may find that one day!
Here is Nikolai, the minister at the church here! Nikolai met with me several times to just read the Bible together and work on his pronunciation, but to also just discuss various parables and Jesus' teachings. I really enjoyed hearing about his life and thoughts on the Bible, we had some great conversations!
This is Marta! She is also Estonian speaking. I met Marta at camp and she came to meet with me a few times! We had some great conversations about feeling God's love. She will be getting baptized this Sunday out at another camp! Please pray that she will be blessed as she embarks on her new journey with Christ!
This is Larissa! She is a beginner in her English, but she is so hard working and so enthusiastic. Her kindness just shines through when she smiles or laughs during our lessons. She asked me to share with her how I found God, and she told me her own experience! She told me she is interested in attending church here which would be a blessing for the congregation!
This is Stasya! She was very shy and timid when we first began, her English was very beginner. But as we continued she became more comfortable and opened up a lot more! She has a belief in God, but would really benefit from developing a more active relationship with Him. I hope I have planted to seed that inspires her to do so! She is such a sweet girl and God could do great things with her!
