Ministry History Published
In 2021, the story of the God Seekers Movement is written about in the book “Take Your Place in the Harvest of Nations” (Laura Taranto) alongside the missions of ministers such as Ben Fitzgerald and Jean-Luc Trachsel.
"Town of Prayer" implementation steps
In 2019, The God Seekers Movement purchased several territories and buildings in Aseri (Estonia). Ex-owners left 8 out of 9 properties in an abandoned state.
1
Preparations for constructing
Sergey and Olga Shydlovkiy’s family does cleanings and preparations for constructing with their own hands.
2
Restoration of buildings and interior finishing
We need to restore 8 buildings to use them for Education Center, Conference Center, 24/7 Worship&Prayer Rooms, rooms for services, and accommodation.
3
EMERGENCY WORK
Since February, we have repurposed our main building and mission to serve those impacted by the war in Ukraine.

Moving projects into buildings
Before receiving refugees, we had been holding all activities (services, recording tv-programs, teaching on our Discipleship course, etc.) in the ministry's office building. Now that building turned into house for our guests from Ukraine. In order to minister efficiently, we planned to provide individual buildings for each activity.
LAST FALL, we started a process of restoration of a building for future Christian Educational Center. Restoring implies:
  • Dismantling – 80% done

Upcoming plans:
  • Major repairs
  • Purchasing furniture, electronics, and other equipment
LAST UPDATES

Recently, the municipality we operate in, put up for sale a large recreation center which happens to be located directly across the street from our offices-turned-refugee center.


The space is move-in-ready and in great condition. It’s also a great price, with the town asking only $150,000 usd for it.


We’d like to purchase the building for a multi-purpose center that we envision using in the following ways:


  • move our existing office functions and church hall, so that we can free up more space in the refugee care center to accommodate more people.

  • serve the incoming refugees and community by establishing a local kindergarten, because there are limited options for children in the existing community.

  • provide various services to the community via programs like art classes for children, local performances, and event space.

  • develop entrepreneurial opportunities to employ refugees and developing a sustainable stream of income for the mission. For example, we have the real possibility of purchasing a bakery that we could then operate out of this space and train locals and refugees in this new skill.

Also, you can join as a volunteer. Reach us via e-mail: office@godseekers.net
