Hello All!
I have failed as a blogger as you can see and stopped blogging about halfway through my internship. God moved in Estonia in many ways. I am still realizing just how much he has worked in me from this summer. Its crazy to think that it has already been four months since I came back. I still feel like I just got home yesterday, but I also have a very bad sense of time when it comes to months and days.
First I would like to thank everyone who prayed for me and our team this summer. Your efforts through prayer really did affect our camps this summer. God opened peoples hearts to wanting to know who the Lord is. Which is crazy to hear an Estonian high school student to say, that "They don't know much about God but they would like to learn more." We were given the opportunity to go straight from the bible and share about who God was and is. There are so many stories from this summer that I want to share with you all, but it is so hard to describe the magnificence of each story through text. This is a severely late thank you, but better late than never.
You all have helped do several things by supporting me this summer. You helped start a youth group in an area with out a Church. Can you imagine that?! You helped plan camps that Estonian students won't forget for the rest of their lives. And you helped God's plan with Estonia move forward. Thank you all for your faithfulness to God and being willing to serve with your money, time and prayers. You all mean the world to me despite what I have shown. Now you may be wondering what I have been doing since I got back. I have been working at a mitigation company called, Rainbow International. We take care of water, fire and smoke damage in houses or businesses. It is a dirty job but God supplied me with a job right when I landed. While I was working there I applied to Moody Bible Institute with hopes of going there to study linguistics. Sadly I did not get in and right now I am trying to figure out what exactly God has planned for me. I have to admit this a frustrating moment of my life, but I'm sure every one of you has gone through this exact same moment of wondering what God has in store for you. I pray that I remain faithful and keep looking to the future. I am trying to get back to school for the spring semester and will be studying linguistics at my old school. Thank you for your prayers and support again.
If any of you are looking for a way to tithe or support someone, you can support either of these missionaries. First is Märt Saar, he is the country leader of Estonia for Josiah Venture. He was my main boss while I interned. Märt has three daughters and a wife, Greta(his wife), Vilma 5, Nomi 3, and Verra 1. They need support dearly since they have decided to commit their family as a whole to ministry in Estonia and Greta will not be returning to her job as a nurse. The second missionary is Innar Kruglov, he was the intern leader for our intern team. He did the amazing race with us through Czech and Poland. He and his wife Siiri are very involved with Josiah Venture and their church Riistee. They have a daughter named Ellie who is as sweet as Innar and Siiri are (which is almost to sweet!). They just announced last week that they are expecting a boy, which is very exciting news for them. If you are interested in supporting them you can go to www.josiahventure.com the Saar's account number is 75004 and the Kruglov's account number is 75009. Thanks again everyone for everything you have done to support me. I will never forget and I am forever in your debt.
God Bless,
Scott Paige
