From: Nathan Lino, Pastor – Northeast Houston Baptist Church
Tomorrow Team Estonia heads out. All told, five churches are involved in this trip. Four churches worked together to raise the money to purchase the Estonian Bibles we will distribute: NEHBC, Shoal Creek Baptist Church (SCBC) in Alabama, First Baptist Church of Southlake (FBCS) in the Dallas-Forth Worth metroplex, and Newmarket Baptist Church in Virginia.
Four churches are playing key roles in the distribution of the Bibles by sending personnel to the field: NEHBC, SCBC, FBCS, and Faith Family Baptist Church here in Houston. Though we are four churches, we are going as one team to work together to distribute as many Bibles and Gospel tracts as possible.
It is our goal to distribute 32,000 pieces of literature, either Bibles or tracts. The country of Estonia has roughly 1.3 million people of which about 700,000 are Estonians with the vast majority of the remaining 600,000 made up of Russians. 32,000 pieces of literature among 700,000 Estonians means almost 4.5% of Estonians in Estonia will get either a Bible or tract from us on this one trip. Can you fathom such a thing? This gets even better. If there are three people, on average, in each home among the 700,00 Estonians, we will put either a Bible or tract in 14.7% of Estonian households. I am overwhelmed at the possibility.
I am so thankful to the Lord Jesus for the way He has made this all happen. I wish I could take credit, but I can’t. Multiple American churches banding together to take the Good News to an unreached people group. (Less than 2% of Estonia is born again.) Almost 15% of Estonian households getting literature from us. I stand amazed at the way the Lord moves. I’m just thankful I get to be along for the ride.
