Riga, Latvija

1993 Jill and I arrived in Latvija serving 9 years building relationships, planting churches and starting a ministry center. Last week we came back for two weeks of ministry and what an exciting time it has been. We have visited with so many pastors and former students that are now in ministry. Our first Sunday we preached in Broceni where Andrei and Evita are pastors, both of whom are former students.

During the week we teach at Latvija Bible College Ministry Center (LBCMC). Just over 35 students are studying in this class. We teach three to five hours per day. When these classes finish we hop in a van for a 50 minute drive to teach in a church school for a few more hours. Usually about 10:00 p.m. we return home.

Sunday we preached at one of our closest friend’s church, Nickolas Greb. Nickolas serves as the National Pentecostal church leader for Latvija. After our service we sat down and enjoyed a feast with them at a great Latvian restaurant, Lido.

This week we begin our final classes at LBCMC as well as evening classes in another church. It is a full week but what a pleasure to be able to visit and work alongside so many wonderful friends.

We will post again soon!
