Estonia Brotherston Missions Update

Here’s the latest!

Sest nõnda on Jumal maailma armastanud, et ta oma ainusündinud Poja on andnud, et ükski, kes temasse usub, ei hukkuks, vaid et tal oleks igavene elu.
[Johannese 3:16]
Ибо так возлюбил Бог мир, что отдал Сына Своего Единородного, дабы всякий верующий в Него, не погиб, но имел жизнь вечную.
[От Иоанна 3:16]
For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
[John 3:16]

HUGE APOLOGIES!

This newsletter is a little bit late… we’re so sorry!

We try to send an email update every three months… but it fell right in the middle of a crazy visitor and event season.

But hey - good to keep all you avid readers keen, and now you are up to date - thanks for your patience!

TAVAI! давай! Come on!

If you know us a little bit then you know that we like to start new things!

One of the things we have been given permission to pursue is to start a new youth camp for the Pentecostal Church in Estonia.

We will meet together this summer in the Village of Hope and we already have people coming from Ireland, Scotland and England to help out!

Please pray for our first attempt at seeing young lives impacted for God’s glory - that they would never be the same after their encounters with Him!

VISITORS

We are on a roll - the most recent visitors have been such a blessing to Estonia and to us personally - SUUR AITÄH!!!

MARCH 2026 - Cultivate interns from Elim Ireland were here for two whole weeks! They were a huge blessing in so many ways.

MARCH 2026 - My good friend Michael who is a Youth Pastor in Switzerland came to preach at MK UNITED - the russian speaking youth conference.

MARCH 2026 - The Limitless team from England and Scotland came for 10 days. We were so impressed with these guys who were on their very first missions trip!

APRIL 2026 - We loved hosting Gary Smith from the Message Trust who was exploring the potential of future ministry in Estonia.

APRIL 2026 - Pastor Anita and Ian Williams (Loughborough Elim) came for a cheeky two day visit to check out our work in Tallinn and to explore our new city Narva with us. They were so encouraging and even brought Percy Pigs!

WHY ESTONIA?

Estonia has been referred to as ‘The Least Religious Country in the world.’

While Estonia has a lower standard of living than the US, UK or Ireland - we didn’t move here because of financial poverty. Although we hope that we get to help those in need.

We moved to this country in North Eastern Europe because of Gospel poverty. There is so much need for the spread of the Gospel and workers to help strengthen the church - that it has impacted our kids in such a significant way!

They very quickly understood why we were here, and that God wanted to use them too!

MINISTRY

All of our work has continued - primarily based in Tallinn while serving with the estonian speaking and russian speaking churches here. We also get other requests for ministry from the Pentecostal Union.

We also have the privilege to serve some churches outside of Tallinn, and it has been our joy to partner with Valga, Paldiski and Pärnu in particular.

In the last number of months we have helped to establish a new national youth team for EKNK and as mentioned before we are working hard on the youth camp.

On top of this we have been asked to assist with the national children’s work.

We are starting to move some of our responsibilities as we make the move to Narva in the East this summer to lead the church planting team there.

FAMILY

Since we were last in touch:

Sianna turned 15!
Craig and Abby celebrated 18 years of marriage!
Craig turned 40!
Ariela will turn 12 in May!

And maybe some of you don’t know… but we have a baby girl due in June. Please pray as it will be our first child born on the mission field - so all new experiences!

IT’S TIME TO BUY A CAR!

A huge thank you for all you individuals and churches who have given to this project.

We are so overwhelmed by your generosity.
We will be buying a car this month - so thank you so much!
