Hello, my name is Hope Goode, and I am a disciple of Jesus. I have come to know and love a people who have a spiritual poverty in their nation and culture. This is Estonia. It is a beautiful country and people, but they do not know God. They do not suffer from a lack of healthy food or water, but instead from spiritual living water and the bread of life.
I moved to Estonia six years ago and have been serving the Lord in Tartu, Estonia, by encouraging the believers and telling my nonbelieving friends about Jesus. I do ministry like Jesus in that it will be relationship-based. I build up and encourage the existing Christians, and I am equipping believers to share their faith. I make friends with people to build trust and rapport, and share Jesus with them through quality time and hospitality. I host Bible studies in my home and share the gospel over coffee. I share Jesus' compassionate heart through encouragement of God's promises and his consistency in keeping them. 
Why partner with me? God has spent the last nine years training me for ministry. I have done missions in the states, and trips to other places, including reservations, Detroit, Mexico, Honduras, and so on. I was trained in the Adventures in Missions program and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Bible and Missions. God has given me a heart for the lost and the broken, and opened a window of opportunity to serve him in Estonia.

I am so thankful to serve in a country that is a former Soviet state that is looking for its identity. My prayer is that more and more will find their identity in Jesus. In a country where over half of the population does not believe in God, but many are searching for something more. Please pray for me as God continues to present opportunities for me to share about his son. Please prayerfully consider partnering with me financially in this work as I use the temporary to make an eternal impact for Christ.
