Estonia
I’m in Estonia now, doing a little work on our ministry flat and taking care of some personal business and program work. I visited Camp Gideon over the past few days and took this picture of one of the main buildings that overlooks the Gulf of Finland. It’s beautiful here this time of year.
Here’s some news about our flat in Estonia. For a while I’d been thinking about finding a ministry flat in Johvi. Olga, Valerie and I will spend more time in Estonia over the coming year or two (as we build the center for disabled children), and I thought it would be good to have a [...]

I drove from Estonia into Russia this morning, crossing the border at 7am. It’s cold here now — about -20C (-4F) — and that makes everything beautifully frosty. On the road from Narva to St. Petersburg:

We’ll release profiles of our work in Estonia and Montenegro later. I thought followers of our blog might be interested to see them: click on the image to see the full-size file Stoneworks [...]
Earlier this month Olga and I went to Estonia. Our good friend Anya Kazak went with us. Anya has never been out of Russia, so this was a thrilling event for her. She loves medieval history and Tallinn was a joy. It’s a very well-preserved medieval town. We really like it there. Olga and Anya [...]
Olga and I have spent some time in Estonia recently. Dave Hulley (seated at left, below), the board chair of Stoneworks International, was here to learn about our new work. It was good to introduce him to our many new friends in Estonia; Dave then spent time Russia visiting with folks there. This weekend leaders [...]

Today we visited the Keila Waterfall west of Tallinn. It’s the second largest waterfall in Estonia, having a 6 meter drop. The water volume is down now, but it really roars during snow-melt.
