Another year has passed and a new year has just begun. We have many reasons to thank the Lord for His blessings, protection and guidance.Looking back
Among numerous things during 2008 we would like to focus on two main decisions we made during the year.
Our new web-site
In the beginning of the year we understood more and more that the values of today were created on internet and not in the churches. We saw, even in Christian blog-sites and communities, a lot of confusion about Christian moral, ethics, values and beliefs.
We felt a call from the Lord to be present on the arenas were today´s values were formed. So we started our Christian web-site http://www.rupeba.se/ to be a voice among many other voices and to present and defend Christian values in a postmodern world.
Our web-site has had many thousands of visitors since we started the 1st of April 2008. On the web-site we have also published a daily devotion: DAYS - tiny thoughts for great days, written by Ruth. Just before Christmas we gathered all devotions for one year and published them in a book. We have also published two e-books during the year.
From January 2009 we will also include an English version on our web-site. Welcome to visit us there.
Latvia next
The second main event during 2008 was when the Salvation Army leadership in Sweden asked if we would be willing to take responsibility as Regional Commanders for the Salvation Army operations in Latvia. We felt guided by the Lord to accept the challenge and as a consequence of that we will be appointed Salvation Army Officers before we move to Riga the 1st of July 2009. For the moment we are studying Latvian language and history. You can expect news from Latvia regularly on our web-site.
Looking forward
A main event in 2009 will of course be our move to Riga and starting our work in Latvia.
But before that we have a of lot of speaking engagements, courses and conferences, language studies waiting during the coming spring semester. So we really need your prayer support…..
We wish you all a blessed 2009
Ruth and Peter Baronowsky
