Arriving in Latvia and then driving to Voru


We landed safely in Riga on Monday and made our way to Voru, Estonia via the team vans to meet with the Voru United Methodist Church (UMC). We had a productive meeting and learned more about the Voru UMC's core values and ministries. The Vitka, Estonia UMC pastor attended our meeting too. Vitka is a small, rural community approximately 30K from Voru, Estonia. One of our teams is working on a construction project for Vitka UMC for the next three days. The other team will be hosting a camp for kids 11-16 for the next three days. We're planning drama, music, and sports workshops along with bible chats and small group discussions. We're looking forward to sharing our love for God and to building connections with His Estonian and Latvian children.
