I have also been worried about this situation for quite a while and have been following the news on the Internet. Yesterday I had to drive around Kesklinn several times, and each time saw groups of police officers everywhere I went. There was definitely a feeling of tension. But I think that God will use people whose hearts are tender to the situation to bring about positive change. I think that if we do not allow fear to overwhelm us, He will do great things.

Yesterday, at the pastors' prayer time, we were discussing the situation. We decided to have an ecumenical prayer time this Sunday at the Pentecostal Church at 19:00. This will be a time for all Christians to unite and pray that God's will will be done in this situation.

You know our love for Estonia, and so this situation breaks our hearts. But we pray that God's love will shine through even in this difficult situation.
