Psalms 2:7-9
"I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord; He said to Me, "You are My Son, today I have begotten You." "Ask of Me and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Your possession." "You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware."

This is God speaking to His Son, Jesus, but Jesus had not come in the flesh at this time. It does reveal what God's plan was long before Jesus was born as a human. God was going to give the nations to Jesus and His Kingdom which we are a part. There is a day coming when Jesus will deal harshly with the nations that are fighting against God.

The Lord has burdened Lou and I for the nation of Estonia and we have prayed that Estonia would become a nation that would fear God. We have asked in Jesus name that many from Estonia would be followers of Jesus Christ and would reach out to their own people as well as other peoples with the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Lord we have only scratched the surface of what needs to be done. Will You do more in Estonia this year to build a team of laborers working to make biblical disciples throughout this country. I am so grateful for the team You have begun. Help us to grow and to begin to multiply for Your honor and glory. We ask in Jesus name as You have urged us to do and we believe that You will do as You have said.
