Estonian Rebirth of Independence:

20th August, 2010

National Holiday Commemorates Independance: On August 20th, 19 years ago the nation of Estonia once again regained it’s independence which was first gained in 1918 but lost to the Soviet Union at the end of World War II.
During this week 19 years ago the co-founder of the Village of Hope Märt Vähi together with colleagues Allan Laur and Harry Leesment helped establish the Estonian Christian Pentecostal Church which was born this same week.

Soviet Tanks on the Road to Estonia’s Capital: This was a familiar scene on the main road to Tallinn 19 years ago. Estonia seized the occasion of the “coup” in Moscow to make it’s grasp for freedom. It succeeded and with God’s miraculous hand a nation was once again reborn! Today we are thankful for our freedoms.
