		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve taken a dive into the deep end on commitments this New Year. Tired of two few challenges last year, I agreed to some additional ones this year that are sure to keep me hopping. The biggies include: changing poopy diapers and speaking baby-talk in the mornings participating on the Union&#8217;s mission council and developing [...]]]></description>

The Ducklows came to Estonia about two weeks ago to help us establish their marriage/premarriage mentoring program here in Estonia. At the last minute, they were informed that two close relatives were diagnosed with serious forms of cancer. In spite of [...]]]></description>

Pastoral ministry has developed in some new areas and we are focusing our summer efforts more on internship exchanges. Read more inside!]]></description>

We came together to celebrate the eucharist and made use of a translation of the beautiful Taize liturgy. We have begun a once monthly eucharistic celebration similar to this in Viimsi.]]></description>

We&#8217;ve encountered a number of challenges along the way and each of these has given us an opportunity to re-evaluate [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How far does a European Christian need to travel to find a mission field? These days you don?t have to go very far. Not only are Christians a minority in formerly Christian nations, but our countries are becoming more multi-cultural all the time. The nations are in our backyard! In this context, the skills of cross-cultural ministry can be put to good use by any serious Christian. What?s more, when Christians join together in spite of their cultural differences to serve together, our unity in Christ will itself be our witness. These are the goals of Next Step 2009!]]></description>
