Ramble, ramble, ramble

It been a while since I updated which is due more to apathy than busyness for which I am sorry, I have been cracking on with my reading organic church is getting close to being finished, which is good because it means I can pass it on (it has its own little waiting list now!) and the backlog (one year bible reading wise) is shrinking and shrinking as I am making at least my four days worth a day each day now...

So what have I been up to since last time I updated? I hear you ask...

Well here are the key points (blogger managed to destroy this post once already, wasting all the info I did want to share! these are the bits it saw fit not to eat up and or turn into random links)

On Friday a substantial bunch of the young people trekked up to Tallinn as I mentioned for a big meeting... Personally the meeting wasn’t me or maybe (again) I was too caught up in my own mind to get into it... But a lot of young people turned up who were very on fire and you could tell God was working on so many people and filling people up which is never bad...
Even though I didn’t enjoy the evening as much as I no doubt would have could I have experienced it without getting too lost in my thoughts it had some pretty exciting results and has given me and pets a lot to do and consider...
I and Pets both realized how useful better sound equipment would be to the youth work and the church as a whole as what we have at the moment is really impractical and lacking quality... meaning we often have to beg and borrow equipment from others when we want to put anything on...
We also had some exciting conversations in the evening about trying to drum up more funding for the youth work and outreach shows which we put on as finance has always been a bit of a limiting factor, so it sounds like we are going to start putting a bit more effort into arranging our events and giving people and local business a chance to help us out financially which is most definitely needed... (This linked in a bit to trying to improve how we give out information about what is going on another kick for me to get on with getting a newsletter running!)

Sunday, church was good, I was asked to sing at the last minute which normally throws me a bit but which went well... Boys group was really good we prayed for a big list of people who have fallen away from church and various non Christian male friends who we want to reach out to in a more effective way than we have been so far...
After boys group me Karl and Pets took a sauna and had some really good accountable conversation which led me to suggest (in broken Estonian) that us 3 could be an LTG and keep each other accountable each week which was well received and hopefully will be something we can introduce in the boys group once it picks up momentum...
Today I am doing some reading and working on a design for the newsletter and hopefully some content...
Plan for the rest of the week....

• Wednesday - Torva youth work down south

• Thursday - finalize draft for newsletter and show to Alari etc

• Friday - Back to Tallinn possibly for some BoB practice and song writing...

Sorry for the ramble I really need to keep more on top of this (or just learn to only write the interesting bits) thanks again for your prayers the wallet still hasn’t turned up but my new card is at least on its way over to me so I should have some money again soon....

God Bless
