Tallis Woomert/ North Idaho Missions
Since 2014 God has been leading me back to Latvia and has grown my mission.
Thank you for supporting me in my Latvian ministry. Whether it has been through prayer, financial or physical aid, it is much appreciated! This is a brief reminder of what you have, or will be, supporting.
My orphan ministry is twofold
1: To give aged-out orphans a place to live. A home free of the pressures of drugs and alcohol abuse. Surrounded by healthy relationships committed to their well-being. To use the farm to grow their understanding of the world of daily work. To help them learn to be helpful and effective in their own lives as well as the lives of the people they interact with. To use animal husbandry as means to teach: care, kindness, responsibility, sacrifice.
2: Build spiritual people using the physical camp and church God has given us at Eagle’s Wings. To teach them who God is, the love of a Father and the sacrifice of a Son. Weekly bible studies and youth nights that help build healthy relationships with their peers. Kids are spiritual beings in a physical world and they need friendships to help withstand the physical world as well as the pressures of the spiritual.
My goals are
1:To continue working with the camp director, Dmitrijs Diks Bortnikovs as he serves God and as God reveals the vision for the camp and farm year after year. To progress the camp forward physically and spiritually alongside Dmitrijs, Elvis & Rachel Kalvans, Marite & Mikus Sokolovs, Dan Roth, Big Janis and his family Aelita and Agris, Agils Silis and many more...
2: To continue building the spiritual houses of the young adults who first came to the camp as kids, who decided to turn their lives over to Jesus, and now try to walk the path God has set out for them. And to disciple the new camp leaders as they strive to serve God with their lives in a secular world.
3: To continue working with aged-out or aging-out orphans who have not had the care or nurture they need to deal with the physical world and to show them the love that God the Father has for them. To help them grow their own physical and spiritual houses. To help them find dreams. To set goals and to achieve those goals. Both small and great.
