Bob & Chrissy Godwin
Missionaries to Estonia
Sunday, August 14 – 6:00 pm

The Godwin family has been serving with AGWM missions since October 1994. They served in Mongolia (Asia Pacific) for over 18 years – pastoring, coaching and mentoring leaders, church planting, working with women in prostitution, women’s prisons, Bible school and training of emerging leaders. Never dreaming that they would leave the work in Mongolia, God began to put into their hearts that He was bringing change. In 2013, during the World Missions Summit in Fort Worth Texas the Godwin’s heard Omar Beiler (Regional Director – Eurasia), speak about the great need in Estonia – described as the “Least Religious Nation in the World”. Within a years time Bob and Chrissy knew God was calling them to go to Estonia to be a part of planting the Church among the unreached of this nation. Bob and Chrissy are leading a Church planting team – “Reach Estonia” – and are now in the process of planting LIFE church in west side of the capital city of Tallinn (Haabersti). Bob and Chrissy have been blessed with 3 amazing Adult kids plus 3 others through marriage. They have 7 grandchildren – the love of their lives!

Estonia was forcibly incorporated into the USSR in 1940 and regained its freedom in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, many of the USSR influences remain. The people of Estonia are largely unreached with the Gospel having the following religious affiliations: Orthodox 16.2%, Lutheran 9.9%, other Christian (including Methodist, Seventh Day Adventist, Roman Catholic, Pentecostal) 2.2%, other 0.9%, none 54.1%, unspecified 16.7% (2011 est.)
