Musicianary News for June 2011

Dear Family, friends & partners in prayer,
Well summer is in full swing here in Latvia. The day’s are much longer now with the sunrise being at 4am and sunset at 1am. It’s hard to imagine that just a few months ago; we were shivering in the cold bundled up from head to toe. Now tee shirts and shorts have replaced the heavy jackets, scarves and gloves.

Teaching, Traveling & Training
May ended up being a very busy and fruitful time of ministry for me. Besides teaching at Striki and Druva schools and helping the kids get ready for final exams, I also became more involved in the life, mission & vision of St Gregors Mission Center in Saldus. In the role of "teacher", I have giving lectures & hosted a Monday night "worship jam/guitar class".


In the role of a "Pastor" I have conducted several worship services for the Tuesday night Chapel service.
I also started to join with some of the students on some of their out reaches and began to travel with Pastor Raimonds who is the director of St Gregors,on several of his ministry engagements.He would bring the message and I would provide the worship music for the service or perform a concert after the service. I decided to bring Ieva Abole, a St Gregors Mission Centers student who was apart of my guitar class. Ieva has a voice of an angel. We notice that when we sing together we really do complement each other.
Well the Lord seem to open up doors for us . We ended up sharing in several churches, music festivals, youth and family out reaches, a wedding, and graduation.

Since I have been in the music ministry for over 20 years, Pastor Raimonds felt I should offer to train the students about mission ministry by having them travel with me. Since St Gregors is a mission training center it would be a great way for the students to learn on the spot about music ministry, traveling & conducting a service. These are things you just can't learn in a book. We are praying about representing the ministry of St Gregors Mission Center by having Ieva & I do a tour not just in Latvia or Eastern Europe, but possibly in Ireland and England. We’re even praying about recording a worship CD. So please keep us in prayer as we seek the Lord in what He would want us to do.

Looking forward to a busy summer June is already looking busy as Ieva and I have another month of Christian music festival and church services through out Latvia. On top of this I am getting ready for the two English Bible camps that East European Mission Network (the ministry that I have partner up with) will be presenting. The first one will be at hosted by the Striki School in Striki from June 27th to July 1st. The second one will be in Riga July 4th to the 8th hosted by fellow EEMN missionary's Pastor Martins & his wife Gunta Irbes. This will be their first one held in Riga. Please pray that the hearts of the students,teachers and translators would be open to receive the good news about new life in Jesus Christ. Please pray also for my fellow American mission team who will be here for two weeks would be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit and be flexible to what ever surprises may come up.

Thank you for believing & partnering with me
Again this tour is one of the ways I hope to raise the mission support needed for my continuing work here in Latvia & Eastern Europe.. Another way I have been supported is by generous people like you who have not only been praying for me or believe in what I am doing, but have also given towards my mission ministry.Believe me every love offering and mission donation has made a big difference in the lives of the people we are reaching here in Latvia and beyond.

Please pray about the finances for this mission ministry. The first thing I will need to raise is the plane ticket back to Latvia which would cost around $1300. The goal is to raise between $5000 to $10000 which would cover another whole school year for my teaching ministry at Striki school & St Gregors Mission center as well as the other exciting ministry adventures the Lord is opening up for me for Eastern Europe & Europe.

If you would like to make a tax detectable donation of any kind in support of my mission ministry here in Latvia you may send them to either of the following
