Our ministry for the month of July was Light in the Forest, a future retreat center for English camps and ministry in Elva, Estonia. Throughout the month, we worked in the forest chipping wood for a nature trail and splitting wood for heating. We also worked to form the foundation of a building that will become the kitchen, bathrooms, and showers for the retreat center.
