Estonia

In 2012, Estonian Christians sent seven short-term foreign mission teams to serve indigenous people groups inside Russia. After one trip, a local partner wrote this about how the Estonian mission team had helped:“ The team had a very strong influence on our local evangelism team. After a time of difficulties, we experienced God’ s hand in a miraculous way. It was like rediscovering your first love! We are again driving the long roads, putting on evangelistic concerts for our people. God has restored us! The enthusiasm of proclaiming the Gospel has returned to our team.”

Through the ministries of Every Community for Christ, the Chopi people are studying the Bible with ECC trainers and OMS missionaries. They have discovered that they have not truly been following the Word of God. The Chopi people have begun to leave the traditional“ churches” that function under witch doctors, divination and ancestral worship, and they have been joining and planting Mozambican evangelical churches.
The OMS Taiwan business manager,
Robert Chen, reported that eight of his students last semester accepted the Lord. Robert teaches a champion course for 7 th graders at the Ju Ren Middle School. The course is a morals and ethics class developed by a Christian organization for use in Taiwan middle schools. At the end of each semester, he has students fill out a survey to get their feedback on the course. One of the questions he asks is if they accepted the Lord. Four girls and four boys marked that they had accepted the Lord during the class. God is good!.
