Most of you that are reading this probably knew I was going back to Tartu this year because you got my support letter :). But perhaps you just randomly found my site... so perhaps the news is not so new.
But in case you haven't heard, I'm going back to Estonia in July to support one of Risttee Church's high school English camps. The skinny on the trip: We will be traveling from July 18-28, 2008 (as of now) and will be hanging out with Estonian high school students allowing them to practice their English and relating to them with the hopes that they will be exposed to Jesus Christ in a real way that will pave the way to their exploring and engaging in a life-changing relationship with Him.
God has been working in and through Risttee over the last months and has pushed them out of the nest in a way... forcing a move from their previous "suburban" location to a new location in the heart of Tartu. There is more to come but I wanted to keep this as a short blog as an announcement and a request for support.
We are leaving in less than 2 months and fortunately, NorthPoint has set up online donations for mission trips this year (welcome to the 21st century ;) ) so I'll provide the 411 on how to give online to my efforts (as well as my teammates). We have been asked to raise about $2,100/each to support travel expenses and materials for our mission efforts in Tartu.
To give online: Go to the following URL:

Under "GlobalX Trip Information" provide the following details:
- Country: Estonia
- Trip: "English Camp Trip 7/17-27/08" (not the NPCC High School English Camp.. this is for NP HS students)
- Individual: Chris Willis (yah).
I'm looking forward to sharing more. Glad to be back :)
