I was in my early 20s when I met Jesus. The first work - the Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology - inspired me to search for the order of being, I began to read more. Thanks to the prayers and wisdom of my mother and sister, who came to God a year earlier, I also read the Gospel while I was still unconverted.
A few months later, I received Christ at one of the ministries of Victor Gamm, an evangelist of the Billy Graham Association. He was talking about the lost son and it was a sermon about me. God accepted me, came out to meet me - sacrificed His Son! This is the greatest love!
In 2001, my sister and I came to study at the EMC Theological Seminary. The theological disciplines revealed the character of God, and I marveled at how many-sided He is. Particularly I was touched by the lessons on the study of the Word of God. I was very interested in the inductive method at the lectures of Anna Saluraid, I listened to this subject twice - with my students and with external students. And some of the ideas from the Andragogy course by Lia Lilleoja I still apply in my lessons today.
During the period of study at the Seminary for 2 years, I returned to my native church to develop the Sunday School, where I completed the training program for teachers of the international ministry "Children's Mission". Also, God sent me to work at the Christian University for the Humanities and Economics as a methodologist for the dean's office. Also there I entered the faculty of psychology, later moved to the faculty of journalism to strengthen the ministry of the newspaper that we published. I completed my studies at the Seminary in 2006, and the theme of my thesis determined my ministry with my husband for the next 10 years - family seminars for married couples.
Then there was a master's degree in journalism, serving in the leadership of the Methodist Church, studying at the international ministry courses of the Children's Evangelism Society, which, by the way, uses the inductive method when preparing lessons for children. Serving children in the Sunday School, organizing and leading family seminars, many years of volunteering experience in teen and children's camps, as well as teaching in the Seminary - my whole life is connected with teaching, and I see how God works with children and adults through immersion in His Word.
