Mattias states,  “At a very young age, I came to the startling realization that my peers were reacting negatively to my faith, without even knowing what this Christianity means. It started to look to me like there was some kind of brick wall actually stopping them from thinking about faith in their lives. It has been in my heart to break that brick wall in people’s heart.”

PASTOR EENOK & EHA HAAMER

FOUNDER OF TAT

Pastor Eenok grew up in a pastor family during the Soviet occupation, where he witnessed firsthand the suffering of the Estonian people at the hands of the Soviet Army. But even as the Soviets hunted Eenok and tried to wipe out Christianity in the nation, he began to have a vision for the future. God showed him that once their fervently prayed-for freedom would return, there would be a great need to educate Estonian men and women so that they would be able to carry on God’s work and clearly communicate the principles of the Bible.

The vision for a new school began to take shape and with initial financial help pledged by 8 pastors from the USA, TAT was founded in the fall of 1992.
