how it all started ie how i ended up in YWAM at first place.



Basically my journey towards to DTS and YWAM  all started for me  some years ago like in 2009?-2011, when two YWAMers Avi Yhokha and Murilo Maciel were visiting Tallinn and then one friend of mine invited me to the meeting, where they suppose to speaking. And soon  I heard Avi  from YWAM India sharing at Mardi street 11 building about his vision what he got for Estonia.Then he didn´t mentioned YWAM not much. But yes I changed contacts with Avi and later on he mention about one YWAM meeting in Tallinn in Pikk 50. So then I attended in that YWAM meeting at Pikk 50 to where Avi didn`t get the visa.

At 2010 Murilo Maciel came to Estonia and my friend J. knew them better and so we all together went IFES Tallinn Thursday meeting.
And then later in same manner I went to home fellowship at home of  JR and S H  some times with them and talked little bit about my life and faith.

In April 2011 I was invited to YWAM Estonia meeting but I didn`t went but then at 31th May 2011 I attended in my second YWAM Estonia meeting at Vineyard Tallinn church where I think that I got that thought about doing mission in Berlin ( firstly I began thought about that in Aug 2010) and then I had thought that „maybe to do mission under YWAM organization.“ When I shared that idea-thought with H. from YWAM Estonia then she said that I have to do DTS for that if I have not done that and she gave information about YWAM Norway. I looked them and thought:"okey, it is too expensive for me" and obviously  it remained in Lord`s hands.
Later I went to YWAM Estonia meeting at June 29th & July 26th 2011. And then contacted with YWAM Berlin in july 2011. I had in august 2011 job offer to go into finland but I  ended up going into DTS in september 2011 by arriving there some days earlier than official program started.

Now some years later when i look back to those two weeks there in Berlin i have understood that i had wrong intentions for going there. i wanted to be closer to my friend there in another district of Berlin. And when i was meditating and attending in one recovery mtg there 22nd september i realize it that it is wrong intention and i should not do it.

After first confrontation between me and team leader Eric Harbeisen I decided to leave. and i am grateful that i had friends who helped me back to estonia. And later i decided to go to work in finland instead and it was much better experience but this is another story. .
