Estonia Brotherston Missions Update

August 2025

FUTURE PLANS

We moved to Tallinn one year ago today!!

The plan was always to move to Tallinn first in order to learn more about the country, serve local church, and connect with what God is doing across this amazing land. Tallinn has allowed us to connect with lots of people, spend some time learning Estonian and Russian, and to be integrated into the Pentecostal movement.

At the same time, we knew that we would be seeking the Lord to see where we could best be used. We had three particular areas on our hearts when we were coming to Estonia - 1. Young Leaders. 2. Missions (Both to and from Estonia) 3. Church Planting.

In all of these areas things have moved quicker than we were expecting, and it is always really cool to get to be part of what God is doing.

As part of the journey, God has been speaking to us very clearly about church planting. So it is our joy to let you know that we have some plans!!

a to begin a new church plant with the Pentecostal movement - EKNK. Narva is the third largest city in Estonia, and the majority of the people are russian speaking. There is a lot of need there, particularly for healthy churches, and we are looking forward with expectation of what could happen there for God’s glory!

We have already had all of our meetings with the Bishop of the Pentecostal movement, and EKNK are in full support of our plans, which has been amazing.

Prayer Points

TEAM - We are hoping some other Estonians will join us on this adventure!
HOUSING - Closer to the time we will be looking a new place to live.
SCHOOLS - Obviously that will also include new schools for the girls.
THE GIRLS - Please pray for the fabulous four as they consider this move, although they have been amazing at processing all of this so far.
LANGUAGES - The girls will continue their education in Estonian. However, Narva is still making a transition from learning primarily in russian, so it will be a new experience. Please pray for the girls as they begin specific russian learning from September 2025. Most of the kids in their schools will have grown up speaking Russian as their first language.
EVENTS - We are planning prayer and worship events in Narva over the next 12 months before we move. Please pray as the local church here in Estonia have the opportunity to get involved in this church plant. We are also open to prayer teams or individuals from the UK and Ireland who would be interested in a visit!
