June GWOM: Ευλογίες - Blessings



It seems too often our minds tend to automatically focus on the "have nots" in our lives instead of the "haves."

So with that in mind, we wanted to take this month to share with you some of the many blessings that are part of our everyday lives here.

Of course, KNOWING WHO WE BELONG TO. That we are children of the King and that one day we will live with Him eternally! Is there anything better?

EACH OTHER. After 32 yrs. of marriage, we are still best friends and so grateful for this opportunity to serve the Lord together.

YOU ALL. We probably don't tell you often enough, how important you are to us. Without your prayer and financial support, we couldn't be here. We so appreciate your willingness to sacrifice so that we can be part of the Kingdom work in Greece.

OUR FAMILIES: 3 kids and their spouses, 7 grandkids, our parents, siblings and many more. Our greatest gifts. We love them and miss them all.

ADDITIONALLY, the chance to be Jesus to many, many refugees each week, talking to youths about God's plan for sex, breathtaking glimpses of God's glory in the beautiful flowers growing out of the dry and cracked earth, gorgeous blue skies and sea, sunsets that light up the sky, and stars that glow brightly at night.

And finally, PEACE in our hearts knowing we are right where God wants us to be!

Thank you for continuing to stand beside us in this ministry.

We appreciate your prayers for...
- boldness for Sarah, Mike and I as we speak to the Greek youth at Teen Camp (4-14 July) about sex, STDs, abortion etc.
- Operation Joshua 4 (21-28 July) handing out 90,000 New Testaments in Greece (www.operationjoshua.net)
- God to open the hearts of all the Greeks who will receive the NTs and that He will draw many to Himself
- healing for Mike's back
