8:00
At 8:00 this morning, Tim met with fellow pastors in Tartu (Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Orthodox) for prayer. He was able to introduce The Salvation Army and invite them to our opening meeting on 26 March (I hope you will all be praying for this meeting!).
The question came up of whether or not the SA is a "church" and at least one pastor was shocked that Tim has never been baptized (in water)! But overall, the group was friendly and receptive and supportive.
At 8:00 tonight, I will meet with fellow missionaries in Tartu for prayer.
We really miss our ecumenical group in Delaware County PA, especially during Wednesday nights of Lent (when we always met). But we are grateful for these new friends (more than that, brothers and sisters!) God has brought into our lives.
I hope you have a group of people you get together with -- at least once or twice a month -- for prayer and fellowship and all that jazz!
