our team hosted a team of seven estonians from march 25-27 who wanted to come to latvia to serve their "latvian neighbors." i was blessed to see their heart for Jesus and genuine love for each other and "their neighbors" to the south. we walked the streets of cēsis and valmiera and handed out 400 loaves of bread for free as a symbol of the love that is expressed in Jesus ("the true bread from heaven" john 6:32). over those three days we had numerous opportunities to talk and pray with people also on the streets of rīga and in the town of liepa. we even had one man who prayed and confessed Jesus as his Lord and Savior! amazing huh?! it was unbelievable to see the fruit that God brought through our short time serving together! something just felt right about it. i came away from the weekend surprised by how open people were to talking about God with complete strangers and challenged to not hide the gift of the true bread that i am freely offered in Jesus, but to share it wherever i am! amen.
will you join me in praying for our estonian brothers and sister? (pictured above from left to right: kirilin, kaur, andrus, innar, mattias, kuldar and mart)
