It has been a great grace and privilege to grow up in a Christian home, in a Baptist pastor's family with my two younger sisters. The example of my mother and father was a beautiful testimony of life with Jesus. I personally repented and made my decision at the age of 11 and have now been a believer for 51 years.
I have been the pastor of the tiny Järvakandi Church New Beginnings for 11 years now. God has blessed me with a wife, with whom I have been married for the last 37 years; 4 (now adult) children (2 daughters and 2 sons) and soon to be 3 grandchildren.
My hobbies are snowboarding and motocross, which I do with enthusiasm.
