Since 2019 our missionary family Helmuth, Niina and Nea Garoeb is located in Oulu. Helmuth is currently working with Logos Ministries of Finland (Kansan Raamattuseura). He is in charge of multicultural ministry and international work. At the moment he is networking and exploring ministry opportunities among the English speaking communities in Oulu. Niina is pursuing studies in social services, and their daughter Nea is going to school.

Helmuth and Niina have worked for over 15 years with Campus Crusade for Christ in Namibia in Windhoek as well as in Walvis Bay. OIEF supports their work since 2005. Their mission is expressed in the words of the apostle Paul: “He (Jesus) is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.” (Colossians 1:28).

Both Niina and Helmuth have joined the leadership team of OIEF in spring 2019, and contribute to the fellowship in many practical ways and with lots of ideas based on their expertise in outreach and discipleship training.

If you want to know more about their work, ask for information from Leena Maria Lehtonen (lehtonenleenamaria@gmail.com). They also send out a newsletter every month and keep us up-to-date about their work – we usually read a printed version of the newsletter in our gatherings and pray for the items Niina & Helmuth ask for.
