[:en]Greetings from Riga where spring is in the air,<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are still full-time in mission work \ud83d\ude09 Actually couple of weeks in March we spent in zombie status and reason what made us to get there is shared in the beginning of the \"Conversation\"letter. Later our present and future will be shared also. So this time our newsletter is a bit longer and full of information.<\/p>\n

Past \u2013 International Christian Social Project Smiltene 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n

There were humanitarian\/evangelical project taking place in Smiltene, Latvia from 27th of February till 6th of March. Similar projects organized by YWAM Stockholm and YWAM Latvia have been taken the place already over ten years. For me (Evelyn) it was 5th time to be in this project leadership team and I was responsible for administration. My task during preparation was to be registrar and communicator for Latvians. During project me and my team was busy with making 44 teams from 201 people (and around 20 local \"HomeChristians) and sending them out to Smiltene and to other 8 regions.<\/p>\n

First days were spent in preparation \u2013 intercession time, making food bags and unloading humanitarian aid. During next days we divided into small teams to visit Smiltene and different regions and to organize different programs. With the help of local social offices we visited 699 needy families and all together gave out 1521 food bags. During this week we gave clothing for 1469 people. 176 children visited our children programs. 80 local youth took part from our youth event. We organized two evangelical events and during these programs 72 people decided to follow Jesus. During our home visits 159 people prayed \u201csinner prayer\u201d. Saturday evening we organized Christian concert. 352 people took part from all our evening events. Kaspars led program for people with disabilities and lot of people came for this event. Usually it is specified for people with mobile disabilities, but for our great surprise we found that 49 people came and most of them were elderly people. We did not change our program and we believe that all these \u201cwrong\u201d people were sent by God. This year we had really good contact with local church. Week after our project finished, local church was organizing follow-up Alfa supper for new Christians. 58 people joined for meal and 75% of those people were non-church goers. 12 youth and 17 adults signed up for the Alpha course whilst at the Alpha Supper. From first session of the Alpha Course took part 22 (non-church) guests plus 24 church members. It means we had really positive reasons to be in zombie status for two weeks after this intensive project finished \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"OldMy mom and Rasmus were also in Smiltene during this week and helped us with background work \u2013 mom for taking care of Rasmus and Rasmus for growing out of his clothes \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Present \u2013 Wings for Wheels, school, Rasmus<\/strong><\/p>\n

After mission project we are back in our every day life. Kaspars\u2019 physiotherapy studies have reached to last semester. At the moment he has his last sport education session, but most of this semester he is spending in hospital and practising physiotherapy skills. He will have last exams in the end of May and will graduate 18th of June. Kaspar also continues with physiotherapy evangelism and offers massages. After short break in winter we are again starting up disability awareness trips to churches. We are planning to have our 4th \u201cChallenge\u201d \u2013 summer camp for people with mobile disabilities \u2013 happening in July 2-9 in Raiskums boarding school. Preparations for this have already started. Rasmus is helping us with everything. He also goes to \u201cthird form\u201d in baby-school and enjoys music, sport and handcraft. For our great surprise he has learnt already all letters from his first name and even some more. <\/p>\n

Future \u2013 school will finish, we can do some schooling!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kaspar physiotherapy studies will finish during this spring and there are still some years before Rasmus will start his school. So, we will have some time to educate ourselves in mission work.<\/p>\n

I (Evelyn) have spoken already earlier that one closed communistic Asia country has been in my heart almost 12 years. Because this letter is open one, I do not want to write this country name here, but if you are interested then ask me in private letter and you will get answer. There will be seminar<\/strong> held in YWAM Sweden<\/strong> August 27th to September 9th. Seminar will focus for this Asian country and possibilities for mission work there. All three of us are planning to go to Sweden that I can be part of seminar and to understand what plans God has for this country and how I am involved in His plans.<\/p>\n

At 2007 Wings for Wheels \u2013 ministry for people with mobile disabilities \u2013 started, but because of Kaspars\u2019 studies and lack of full-time helpers, we are still in pioneering stage. Now school is going to finish and some people have shown interest to come to Latvia to help us. It means we are in need to get some schooling in area of leadership in mission. Regular YWAM school\/course is 3-5 month long and is too long to participate with Rasmus. Our YWAM leader found out that there will be held three-week long seminar called: Strategic Leadership Course<\/strong> \u2013 principles of pioneering and developing a multi-faceted city ministry. That will be coming November in Spain, Malaga. Course is interesting and would be really useful for us. Even my mother has given \"Rasmustheoretical agreement that she would be able to come with us and help to take care of Rasmus. Our only challenge is finances (or actually lack of finances). Course itself are not too expensive, but airfares from Riga to Malaga are surprisingly expensive. We have decided to search for treasure pot \ud83d\ude09 during our summer vacation at Hiiumaa, Estonia, but maybe there are some other possibilities?! Please pray for our past, present and future and if God is saying for you anything about it, please let us know. <\/p>\n

Blessings,
\nEvelyn, Kaspars and Rasmus<\/strong>[:et]Tervitusi varakevadesest Riiast! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Oleme ikka elus ja misjonit\u00f6\u00f6s, kuigi viimased poolteist-kaks n\u00e4dalat olime peale misjoni\/humanitaarabi projekti l\u00f5ppemist zombi staatuses. \u00d5nneks ei ole meie igap\u00e4evane elu nii intensiivne kui oli see projekt. Kirja alguses r\u00e4\u00e4gin minevikust ja zombi olemise p\u00f5hjustest ning hiljem ka olevikust ja tulevikust. Seega on see uudistekiri v\u00e4ga laiah\u00f5lmaline ja tavalisest pikem. <\/p>\n

\"Vestlus\"Minevik – Rahvusvaheline Kristlik Sotsiaalprojekt Smiltene 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n

27. veebruarist 6. m\u00e4rtsini toimus L\u00e4tis Valga l\u00e4hedal olevas Smiltenesi linnas L\u00e4ti ja Stockholmi Noorte Missiooni poolt organiseeritud iga-aastane humanitaarabi- ja evangelisatsiooniprojekt. Nagu juba neli eelmist aastat, oli ka seekord minu t\u00f6\u00f6ks l\u00e4tlastest osalejate registreerimine ja kommunikatsioon. Smiltenesis juhatasin koos oma tiimiga inimressursside kasutamist (olen ju ilusa v\u00e4ljendi v\u00e4lja m\u00f5elnud \ud83d\ude09 ). See t\u00e4hendab, et mina ja mu tiim moodustasime 201 osalejast ja umbes 20 kohalikust kristlasest 44 gruppi, keda me saatsime v\u00e4lja Smiltenessi ja selle kaheksasse valda. <\/p>\n

N\u00e4dala esimesed p\u00e4evad kulusid ettevalmistusele \u2013 palvele, toidupakkide tegemisele ja humanitaarabi maha laadimisele. J\u00e4rgnevatel p\u00e4evadel jagunesime Smiltenesi, erinevate valdade ja programmide l\u00e4bi viimiseks gruppidesse ning k\u00fclastasime 699 puudust kannatavate perede kodu ning andsime kohalike sotsiaalabi osakondade nimekirjade alusel v\u00e4lja 1521 toidupakki. Samal ajal jagasime Smiltenesi kultuurimajas riideid ja jalan\u00f5usid \"Koduk\u00fclastus\"1469-le inimesele. 176 last k\u00fclastasid kolme p\u00e4eva jooksul lasteprogramme. 80 kohalikku noort osalesid meie noorteprogrammis. Kahel \u00f5htul l\u00e4biviidud evangeelsete koosolekute ajal l\u00e4ks ette \u201epatuse palvet\u201c lugema 72 inimest ning koduk\u00fclastuste ajal andsid oma elu Jumalale veel 159 inimest. Laup\u00e4eva \u00f5htul korraldasime tasuta kristliku kontserdi ning kokku osales meie \u00f5htustel koosolekutel 352 inimest. Sel aastal oli v\u00e4ga aktiivne osav\u00f5tt ka Kaspari organiseeritud puuetega inimeste programmist ning meie suureks \u00fcllatuseks oli kohal 49 inimest. Tavaliselt on see programm m\u00f5eldud spetsiifiliselt liikumispuuetega inimestele, aga kuna v\u00e4ikeses kohas liiguvad kuulujutud kiiresti, siis tulid kohale suuremalt jaolt vanemad inimesed. Me ei muutnud oma programmi ning usume, et k\u00f5ik need \u201evaled\u201c inimesed olid Jumala poolt saadetud. Sel aastal oli meil v\u00e4ga hea koost\u00f6\u00f6 kohalike kristlastega ning n\u00e4dal hiljem korraldas kohalik kogudus uutele kristlastele Alfa kursuse \u00f5htus\u00f6\u00f6gi. \u00d5htus\u00f6\u00f6gile tuli 58 inimest, kelledest 75% ei k\u00fclasta mitte \u00fchtegi kogudust. 12 noort ja 17 t\u00e4iskasvanut registreerisid end algavale Alfa kursusele. Seega oli meil v\u00e4ga positiivne kogemus, mis viis meid zombi staatusesse. <\/p>\n

Minu ema ja Rasmus olid samuti Smiltenesis terve selle n\u00e4dala ja aitasid kaasa taustaj\u00f5una \u2013 ema Rasmuse eest hoolitsedes ja Rasmus kiiresti riietest v\u00e4lja kasvades ;-).

Peale misjoniprojekti oleme tagasi oma igap\u00e4evases elus. Kasparil on k\u00e4sil f\u00fcsioteraapia \u00f5pingute viimane semester ning suurema osa oma p\u00e4evast veedab ta n\u00fc\u00fcd haiglas praktiseerides. Sellele lisaks j\u00e4tkab ta f\u00fcsioteraapia evangelismi ning teeb v\u00f5imaluse korral ka masaaze. Talvel halbade teeolude t\u00f5ttu peatunud puuetega inimeste teadvustamine kirikutes, algab j\u00e4lle m\u00e4rtsi l\u00f5pus. Juba neljandat aastat plaanime korraldada \u201eChallenge 4\u201c <\/strong>(v\u00e4ljakutse) laagri liikumispuuetega inimestele. Sel aastal toimub see 2-9 juulini Raiskuma internaatkoolis (Cesise l\u00e4hedal). Laagri ettevalmistused on juba alanud. Rasmus aitab meid k\u00f5iges ning sellele lisaks k\u00e4ib beebikooli kolmandas \u201eklassis\u201c ning naudib muusikat, sporti ja k\u00e4sit\u00f6\u00f6d. Meie ja paljude teiste suureks \u00fcllatuseks tunneb ta juba k\u00f5iki oma nime t\u00e4hti ja sellele lisaks veel m\u00f5nda.
\n
\nTulevik \u2013 kool saab l\u00e4bi, seega saame kooli minna!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kuna Kaspari \u00f5pingud l\u00f5ppevad 18. juunil ning Rasmuse kooli alguseni on veel m\u00f5ned head aastad aega, siis on meil v\u00f5imalus end koos perega harida misjonit\u00f6\u00f6s.<\/p>\n

Olen kunagi varem juba maininud, et pea 12 aastat on minu s\u00fcdames olnud \u00fcks Aasias asuv kristlasi tagakiusav kommunistlik riik, kuhu ei ole v\u00e4ga lihtne ka turistina reisida. Kuna see kiri on avalik, siis ei taha selle riigi nime otseselt v\u00e4lja kirjutada. Aga isiklikele kirjadele vastan selle riigi kohta k\u00fcll. 27. augustist 9. septembrini toimub selle riigi ja misjoniv\u00f5imaluste kohta seminar Rootsi Noorte Missiooni keskuses<\/strong> Resten\u00e4sis. Plaanime sel ajal kogu perega Rootsi minna, et mina saaksin seminaril osaleda ning m\u00f5ista t\u00e4psemalt, mida Jumalal on selle riigi ja minuga seoses plaanis.<\/p>\n

Wings for Wheels sai alguse 2007 aastal, kuid \u00f5pingute ja inimressursside puuduse t\u00f5ttu oleme ikka veel selle t\u00f6\u00f6 algusj\u00e4rgus. T\u00e4nu Kaspari \u00f5pingute l\u00f5pule ja m\u00f5ne inimese huvile tulla meile t\u00e4isajaliselt appi, oleks meil vaja saada koolitust misjonit\u00f6\u00f6 juhtimise vallas. Kuna kolme kuni viie kuuline tavaline Noorte Missiooni kursus oleks koos Rasmusega liiga pikk aeg, siis leidis Riia NM-i juht meile novembriks kolme n\u00e4dalase kursuse Hispaanias Malagas (k\u00f5lab nagu Havail, eks ole \ud83d\ude09 ). Nimeks on sellel seminaril Strategic Leadership Course<\/strong> \u2013 principles of pioneering and developing a multi-faceted city ministry (eesti keeles midagi sarnast nagu: Strateegiline juhtimise kursus \u2013 printsiibid kuidas alustada ja arendada misjonit\u00f6\u00f6d suurlinna tingimustes). \"RasmusKursus on huvitav ja oleks meile v\u00e4ga vajalik ning selleks kolmeks n\u00e4dalaks on meil teoreetiliselt olemas ka mu ema n\u00f5usolek Rasmuse hoidjana kaasa tulla, ainsaks suureks v\u00e4ljakutseks on meie finantsiline v\u00f5imekus (v\u00f5i siis v\u00f5imetus). Kursus ise ei ole kallis, aga lend neljale Malagale ja tagasi suhteliselt kallis. Oleme seadnud endale sihiks otsida suvel Hiiumaalt rahapada, \ud83d\ude09 aga \u00e4kki on olemas ka muid v\u00f5imalusi?! Palun palveta meie mineviku, oleviku ja tuleviku eest ning jaga ka meiega kui Jumal Sulle midagi selle kohta \u00fctleb.<\/p>\n

\u00d5nnistusi soovides,
\nEvelyn, Kaspars ja Rasmus <\/strong><\/p>\n
