What are Lutherans in Estonia praying for? They want to keep rebuilding Christ’s church after its near-decimation under Soviet occupation! And they want us to hear how we’re helping.
You are invited, then, to join Bethany’s Global Mission team on May 14, 7:30 pm. here at Bethany as we listen to Matthias Haamer, great-grandson of Pastor Harri Haamer, relate their mission at Tartu Academy of Theology and Home of Hope Bible School in Tartu, Estonia.
As Siimon Haamer, President of Tartu Academy writes, “We are not making short term plans. Our goal is to proclaim the Word of God in Estonia, which is claimed to be one of the most secular countries in the world, for generations to come.”
Come join us at Bethany in Room 210 on Tuesday, May 14 at 7:30 pm!
