Help Seth and Michelle in the gospel movement happening in southern Estonia. The harvest is ready!
Story
We sensed God’s call to cross-cultural ministry even before we were married, and over the years He has faithfully prepared us for that calling. Through family life, study, and service, the Lord has deepened our understanding of His Word, strengthened our faith, and shaped us for the work He has set before us. What began with a desire to serve among unreached people groups gradually shifted as God gently redirected our steps, and in time He made it clear that He was calling our family to Estonia.
Today, we are serving in South Estonia as part of a ministry team, alongside local ministries and Estonian believers. Our work includes youth development, discipleship, and community life, and we are grateful for the opportunity to build relationships that open doors for the gospel. We serve together as a family of seven, with our five children joining us in a family-style, hospitality centered ministry. We desire that ministry is not just something we do, but a way of living with open hearts and open hands as we share life with the people around us. Following Paul’s encouragement in Thessalonians, we desire to live quietly and faithfully, letting our everyday lives point others to the light of the gospel. Our prayer is to see a gospel movement among the Estonian people that is healthy, lasting, and rooted in local leadership.
If you’d like to learn more, partner with us, or simply say hello, we’d genuinely love to hear from you—and if the Lord is stirring your heart toward cross-cultural ministry, we’d be delighted to connect with you and come alongside you in that process as well.

Serving our King together with you,
