Mission

We see two problems that our ministry can help solve. The solutions we provide come in word and deed. 

Estonia is one of the least religious countries in the world. Fifty eight percent of the population say they have no religion, sixteen percent are Eastern Orthodox Christian, eight percent Lutheran and three percent other Christian.

We believe that ‘Jesus makes life better and makes us better at life.” - (Andy Stanley) and that everyone has ‘unsurpassable worth and value to God and creation.’- (Greg Boyd). A guy named Paul wrote a letter to the Roman church saying “How, then, can they call on him they have not believed in? And how can they believe without hearing about him? And how can they hear without a preacher?” (Rom‬ ‭10‬:‭14‬ ‭CSB‬‬) We see a need to hear this message of the love of God for Estonia. 

Word: we preach the good news of Jesus. His life, teachings, death and resurrection has the power to transform lives and brings peace, joy and love where there is none.

Estonia has grown tremendously since regaining its freedom in 1991. They are on the forefront of many technological advances and have benefited from being part of the European Union and NATO. However, the financial benefits have not reached everyone. In 2021 the government's statistics show an absolute poverty rate of 1.4% and an at-risk poverty rate of 22.8%. That is 303,650 people whose lives can be dramatically affected by the lightest margins.

We believe that part of Jesus’ message was to feed people. In the Gospel According to Matthew Jesus is preaching to a large group of people. It says he had compassion on them and then in verse 16 of chapter 10 he says “They don’t need to go away,” Jesus told them. “You give them something to eat.” (‭‭Matt ‭14‬:‭16‬ ‭CSB‬‬) We see a need to be part of the solution for food insecurity in Estonia.

Deed: we partner with Toidupank (Food bank in Estonian) to provide volunteer and financial resources to alleviate hunger for the most vulnerable.

Jesus preached that the kingdom of God had come to Earth via his ministry and then he demonstrated that by healing people, setting them free from issues and feeding them. He interacted with everyone without judgment and spoke truth when repentance was required. Our ministry will model itself after Jesus in word and deed.
