Four Hundred Passionate Pastors in Riga
20 June 2003
Four hundred pastors and leaders attended a conference with Mal Fletcher, sponsored by Creative Management International based in Riga.
The conference focussed on building churches and ministries around contemporary values. The leader of the Pentecostal churches in Latvia said, 'Mal has taught us things here that others have not dared to say. It has been a very timely visit.'
Doug Cameron, leader of Creative Management Int. and Mission Finance, is planning initiatives to see a wide-scale, long-term outreach to the Gen-X adult culture in Riga. The city recently hosted the Eurovision Song Contest and is fast becoming westernised in its outlook and approach to life. Three churches in Riga number in the thousands and each one of them has a strong vision for taking the city.
Mal said later, 'I ask all of our friends and partners to pray for Riga, for Latvia and for the Russian-speaking world. It is virgin soil - we need to see more pioneers there!'
