Therefore encourage one another and build each other up (1 Thessalonians 5:11).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\t\t\t\t\"Pastor<\/p>\n

\n\t\tPastor Allan Taruste
\n\t<\/h3>\n

I was born in 1969, on the other hemisphere, in Estonia, then part of the Soviet Union, and became a pastor there in 1996. I came to Australia to work for the Estonian church abroad and have lived in Australia (on and off) for just over 10 years, having only recently being able to join the ranks of the LCA pastors, for which I’m very thankful.<\/p>\n

My interests are mainly Sci-Fi and tinkering with computers.<\/p>\n

I trust God has put me here for a reason, even though he might never let me know what that reason might be.<\/p>\n
