[:en]\"Lolita\"Greetings from Latvia, <\/strong><\/p>\n

Wings for Wheels \u2013 mission work among people with physical disabilities
\nSmall group <\/strong>
\nThis year our small group has been really small and many times we had to cancel it, because none of the participants were able to make it. Therefore the last two times have been really exciting times, because we have had two new people joining us who are still on the road to meet God in personal way. <\/p>\n

Eight years ago Reinis<\/strong> had a car accident and after that he has spent most of his time in bed. He is able to sit in a wheelchair just for a couple of hours a day and is not able to move around without assistant help. This did not hold him back from joining our small group (even that no longer like an hour) and have possibility to have fellowship with Christians and hear Christian message. Because of his physical condition, he will not be able to join our camp this year, but maybe we can figure out something for future\u2026 <\/p>\n

Lolita<\/strong> is a judge (and from our knowledge is the only judge in Latvia who uses an electrical wheelchair) who has lost her mobility because of a muscle illness. The theme of Kaspars\u2019 Bachelor thesis is muscle illness and he needed to find some people with whom to practise. So, he met Lolita a year ago and they started a physiotherapy program. During this year Lolita has changed from close to being an atheist to calling herself a Christian now. Being an intellectual person, her challenge is to understand everything about Christianity before making her own decision. She joined our small group and will also be a part of our summer camp. <\/p>\n

Physiotherapy Evangelism <\/strong>
\nIn the last newsletter I wrote that Kaspars has started a new form of evangelism through physiotherapy. His Bachelor thesis and physiotherapy studies have opened a door to meet people with muscle illnesses \u2013 Lolita, Santa, Nadja, Gunta. With some of them Kaspars is working regularly and giving them the possibility to understand God. Lolita, Santa and Nadja are planning to join our summer camp (Santa is planning to take free time from work only for one day). Physiotherapy for people with muscle illnesses is such a rare and new thing in Latvia, that Kaspars has received phone calls from strangers who are asking expert consultation, even though Kaspars himself is only a student\u2026 It is \"Ropesshowing how many possibilities and \u201copen doors\u201d we have for this ministry and Kaspars already dreaming to have a physiotherapy assistant. <\/p>\n

Association for people with muscle illnesses <\/strong>
\nFor most countries (Estonia among of them) has well working associations for different disabilities (muscle illnesses included). In Latvia have not been years any possibility for people with muscle illnesses to organize. Lolita and Santa asked for help from Kaspars and Ailita, and started the Latvian Myopathy Association \u201cSartorius\u201d. This is one more opportunity for Wings for Wheels, because at the moment half of the \u201cSartorius\u201d members are connected to W4W. <\/p>\n

Camp <\/strong>
\nThere will be a W4W summer camp \u201cChallenge 2\u201d in Talsi, 5-10 of July, 2009. The idea of it will be similar to last year, but we will have more participants (it would be really interesting to see how many people we would get if we actually would advertise our camp, because at the moment information is spreading only orally from person to person). At the moment is known approximately 20 participants and at least the same amount of staff. Like last year we (organizers) have the challenge of finances. We did not receive EU money that we hoped to and this is leaving us short in finances half of amount that we need. There is still time, and we have some ideas, but this is God who is able to make our camp possible. At least there is no crisis in Heaven!
\n\"Madara
\nMadara<\/strong>
\nLast week we visited Madara who had a birthday. Starting from last year\u2019s camp, where the first time in her life, she tried painting (remember \u2013 the one who painted with elbow) and after that she has done it very regularly holding the brush in her mouth. She had prepared for us to take a look three big albums of paintings. She has talent to paint so that the pictures give positive feelings and a good mood. Mostly she paints flowers, but has started to do also landscapes. It is amazing how many details she is able to put on her paintings \u2013 I would not believe that she has done these by mouth and she has non-voluntary movements. We hope that one day it will be possible to open Madara\u2019s exhibition in Riga. We bought her first paintings and this was the first salary she has ever received\u2026 <\/p>\n

Administrative work and a Little Missionary <\/strong>
\nMy (Evelyn) work outside of Wings for Wheels is going less and will stop for a while. June 20th I will leave to Hiiumaa (my home island) and will expect a little missionary to arrive in the end of July. He\/she is really active and we guess that he\/she would like to \"Evelynevangelize all \u201cstomach-babies\u201d if he\/she physically would have this possibility. Even leaving for vacation I am officially still the summer outreaches registrar (even that most of these will not happen because of too less interest) and helping Kaspars, Ailita and Baiba to organize W4W camp. <\/p>\n

Possibilities to pray: <\/strong>
\n\u2022\tLolita, Santa and Reinis \u2013 their way to God
\n\u2022\tW4W camp \u2013 participants, staff, finances
\n\u2022\tKaspars\u2019 ministry among people with muscle illness
\n\u2022\tFull-time W4W staff, that we would be able to use all the \u201copen doors\u201d
\n\u2022\tArriving of the little missionary <\/p>\n

Blessings,

[:et]\"Lolita\"Wings for Wheels \u2013 misjonit\u00f6\u00f6 f\u00fc\u00fcsiliste puuetega inimeste seas <\/strong>
\nV\u00e4ikegrupp <\/strong>
\nSel aastal on meie v\u00e4ikegrupp olnud v\u00e4ga v\u00e4ike ning mitu korda oleme pidanud selle \u00e4ra j\u00e4tma, kuna viimasel hetkel selgub, et minna saame vaid meie Kaspariga. Kaks viimast korda on selle-eest olnud v\u00e4ga p\u00f5nevad, kuna kohale on tulnud uued inimesed, kes on alles teel Jumala leidmisele. <\/p>\n

Reinis<\/strong> sattus kaheksa aastat tagasi autoavariisse ning on peale seda enamiku ajast veetnud voodis. Ratastoolis jaksab ta istuda korraga vaid m\u00f5ned tunnid ning isiklik assistent on talle elulise vajadusega. F\u00fc\u00fcsilisele olukorrale vaatamata on ta osalenud juba kahel korral meie v\u00e4ikegrupis (kuigi vaid piiratud aja). See on tema v\u00f5imalus olla kristlaste hulgas ja kuulda kristlikku s\u00f5numit. Laagrisse me Reinist kahjuks tema f\u00fc\u00fcsise p\u00e4rast (veel) v\u00f5tta ei saa, aga \u00e4kki on v\u00f5imalik j\u00e4rgmiseks aastaks midagi v\u00e4lja m\u00f5elda. <\/p>\n

Lolita<\/strong> t\u00f6\u00f6tab kohtunikuna (meie teada ainuke elektriratastoolis kohtunik L\u00e4tis), kelle \u201caitas\u201d ratastooli lihashaigus. Kuna Kaspari bakalaureuset\u00f6\u00f6 on lihashaigustest ning selle kirjutamiseks vajas ta f\u00fcsioteraapiat vajavaid kliente, kohtus ta Lolitaga. Aasta jooksul on enam-jaolt ateistlikust naisest saanud end kristlaseks nimetav naine ning viimasel korral osales ta ka meie v\u00e4ikegrupis. M\u00f5istuseinimesena on tal vajalik k\u00f5ik kristlusesse puutuv selgeks r\u00e4\u00e4kida, enne, kui ta ise otsuse teeb. Ta on lubanud osaleda ka meie suvelaagris. <\/p>\n

F\u00fcsioteraapia evangelism<\/strong>
\nViimases ringkirjas kirjutasin, et Kaspar on alustanud uue evangeliseerimisvormiga \u2013 l\u00e4bi f\u00fcsioteraapia. Nagu ma juba eespool kirjeldasin, vajas Kaspar oma bakalauruset\u00f6\u00f6 kirjutamiseks kliente, kellel on lihashaigus ning see viis ta kokku Lolita, Santa, Nadja ja Guntaga. Kahe esimesega t\u00f6\u00f6tab Kaspar regulaarselt ja see annab v\u00f5imaluse r\u00e4\u00e4kida \"Seiklusrada\"samal ajal ka vaimulikel teemadel. Kolm nendest plaanivad osaleda meie laagris (\u00fcks k\u00fcll vaid \u00fche p\u00e4eva, aga siiski\u2026). F\u00fcsioteraapia lihashaigetele on L\u00e4tis niiv\u00f5rd uus, et Kasparile helistavad t\u00e4iesti v\u00f5hiv\u00f5\u00f5rad inimesed, kes konsultatsiooni paluvad, kuna on kuulnud, et L\u00e4tis olevat vaid \u00fcks ekspert\u2026 Aga tegelikult Kaspargi alles ju \u00f5pib\u2026 Seega selles vallas on palju uksi lahti ja Kaspar juba unistab assistendist, et k\u00f5iki v\u00f5imalusi \u00e4ra kasutada. <\/p>\n

L\u00e4ti lihashaigete selts <\/strong>
\nEesti Lihashaigete Selts (ELS) on paljudele tuntud, aga L\u00e4tis pole juba aastaid olnud \u00fchtegi seltsi lihashaigetele inimestele. Lolita ja Santa palusid Kasparil ja Ailital end aidata ning k\u00f5ik koos asutasid L\u00e4ti M\u00fcopaatia Assotsiatsiooni \u201cSartorius\u201d. See on j\u00e4rjekordne \u201cavatud uks\u201d, kus praegusel hetkel pooled osalejatest on seotud Wings for Wheels\u2019i ja NM-iga. <\/p>\n

Laager<\/strong>
\n5-10 juuli 2009 toimub Talsis j\u00e4lle suvelaager nimega \u201cV\u00e4ljakutse 2\u201d. Idee poolest on see sarnane eelmise aasta laagrile, kuid tulemas on palju rohkem osav\u00f5tjaid (huvitav kuhu me osalejad siis paneksime, kui me ka reklaami teeksime \u2013 praegu levib laagri reklaam vaid suus\u00f5nal ja juba v\u00f5ib meil ruumiga kitsaks j\u00e4\u00e4da). Praegu on teada 20 osalejat ning v\u00e4hemalt sama palju personali \u2013 otsime siiani veel paari assistenti, aga loodetavasti leiame need \u00f5igeks ajaks. Nagu eelmiselgi aastal on meie suurimaks v\u00e4ljakutseks finantsid, kuna kahjuks meie laagri projekti EL rahadest ei rahastatud. Eelmise aastaga v\u00f5rreldes on meil siiski osaliselt raha olemas ning kui v\u00e4ga kokkuhoidlikult majandada, siis vajame veel vaid pool summat (umbes 1000Ls). Samas teame, et see ei ole meie laager – oleme vaid Jumala k\u00e4epikendus siin L\u00e4tis ja Taevas ei ole majanduskriisi.
\n\"Madara
\nMadara <\/strong>
\nSel n\u00e4dalal k\u00e4isime Madara s\u00fcnnip\u00e4eval (laagris k\u00fc\u00fcnarnukiga maalija). Eelmise aasta laagrist alates on Madara hoolega maalinud (hoides pintslit suus) ning andis meile vaatamiseks kolm albumit\u00e4it fantastilise positiivse v\u00e4rvitundlikkusega maali. Enamik neist on lilledega, aga ta saab hakkama juba ka maastikumaalidega. Poole aasta jooksul on tulnud tema piltidele juurde palju detaile ning Madarat tundmata ei usuks ma, et ta maalib neid pilte suuga ning et tal on tahtele allumatud sundliigutused. Elise (NM Riia misjon\u00e4r kunstnike seas) teeb juba plaane, kuidas ja kus avada Madara personaaln\u00e4itus. Ostsime temalt esimesed maalid ning see sai Madara esimeseks omateenitud rahaks.<\/p>\n

Administratiivne t\u00f6\u00f6 ja pisi-misjon\u00e4r.<\/strong>
\nMinu kohustused v\u00e4ljaspool Wings for Wheels on hakanud kahanema ning pikemale puhkusele j\u00e4\u00e4n 20. juunist, kui l\u00e4hen terveks suveks Hiiumaale pisi-misjon\u00e4ri s\u00fcndi \"Evelynootama. Ametlikult olen ma veel ikka suviste misjonireiside (mis k\u00fcll kahjuks enamasti huviliste puudusel \u00e4ra j\u00e4\u00e4vad) administraator, aga e-mailidele vastamist tuleb aina v\u00e4hem ette. Aitan Kasparil, Ailital ja Baibal laagrit organiseerida, kuigi ise ma seal sel aastal ei osale. Pisi-misjon\u00e4r on meil v\u00e4ga aktiivne ning v\u00f5imaluse korral evangeliseeriks vist k\u00f5iki k\u00f5hubeebisid \ud83d\ude42 Meie hulka v\u00e4lismaailma peaks ta saabuma juuli teises pooles. <\/p>\n

Palvev\u00f5imalused:<\/strong>
\n\u2022\tLolita ja Reinise tee Jumala juurde
\n\u2022\tW4W laager \u2013 osalejad, personal, finantsid
\n\u2022\tKaspari teenimine lihashaigustega inimeste seas
\n\u2022\tT\u00e4isajalised abilised, et saaksime kasutada k\u00f5iki \u201cavatud uksi\u201d
\n\u2022\tPisi-misjon\u00e4ri tulek <\/p>\n

\u00d5nnistusi,
