Musicianary News For July 2011

Dear Family,Friends & Partners in Prayer,
Now as we are in the middle of summer, the days are long,the nights are short. It is not uncommon to join your neighbors at the lake for a late night swim or to stay up late playing games.

English Bible Camp is in full swing!
Well we just had our 7th annual English Bible camp at Striki School with over 110 students attending! That beats last year attendance of 80 students. We were filled to the roof as the kids learned English through the life of David from the Bible with “Hope” as the theme. All the kids did a fabulous job presenting the different dramas of the life of David.
This year I decided to introduce some new worship songs to the students (ranging from 1st to 9th grade). They belted out “God’s not dead”, “Mighty to Save”, “Jesus Loves Me” & closed with “All who are thirsty” which we did both in English & Latvian.

I’m now writing you from Riga, Latvia, where we are presenting our 1st English Bible camp at a church in an “inner city” area were there is a mixture of Latvians & Russians. I’m staying in a typical high rise apartment built during the soviet area. All the buildings look the same. They remind me of the inner city projects, lifeless blocks of cement with windows.

This camp is way different in the fact that we are working with only 30 students, most in the 1st and 2nd grade. It is held in a church and not in a school making this the first time most of the children to even step foot in a church. Most have never heard there is a God or about the love of Jesus. Sadly many of the parents are atheist due to the former soviet influence and oppression. Would you please pray that through the English Bible camp, we may share about the Love of Jesus with the children? We learned that many of the kids come from a fatherless home. Latvia is also known as “The Fatherless Nation”.

For the Love of Latvia Tour August 14th to October 17th
I am excited about being back in the states for two and a half months. It will give me a chance to visit family and friends. But I am more excited about coming back and sharing "For The Love of Latvia" Tour. This tour is a way to raise support for my continuing work in Latvia and Eastern Europe. As with all mission ministries we have to raise support to continue to be on the mission field. I would love the to come your church, Christian school or event and share what the Lord is doing in Latvia & Eastern Europe. For information about how I can come and serve and share at your next worship service or event, just click on "For the Love of Latvia".

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
