Big Events


Mission Days
Each year for the last 5 years Bridge Builders/Partners (our office in Riga) has sponsored a conference to encourage people to think and pray about God's heart for the whold world. This year's conference was a huge success. Not only did everything run well and over 300 attended but, most importantly, many were moved to expand their thinking about those who have never heard the Good News of salvation in Jesus Christ. Some mentioned (on the evaluation) that they had drawn close to the Lord and heard more clearly what He wants for them.
Here are a few faces of those who attended.
We were delighted that so many younger men/women/students participated.



Izlaidumi - Graduations

This past week two of our good friends (Inita, and Liene) finished their studies at universities (one is Riga and one in Rezekne) and received their diplomas at special ceremonies.

I was priviledged to attend both and help them celebrate. Both women went to school and worked, plus took care of family responsibilities. It was a joy to thank the Lord with them for all the work and finances needed to finish.
