July/August GWOM: Ελευθερία - Freedom



The freedom in Christ that all believers have and can share with others, so that they too can enjoy the same freedom.

In a world that’s falling apart, isn’t it nice to know that we have so much to look forward to in life with Christ, once this life on earth is over?

What freedom comes from understanding that all this (on earth) is just temporary. One day, everything will be gone, burned up, not anything that we’ll need in heaven!

We’ve had a busy couple of months. Thanks for praying.

Our sex talk with the kids at Teen Camp went very well. This is a topic most people don’t like to talk about but one we know needs addressing, especially here in Greece where the abortion rate is very high and multiple abortions are common. We look forward to sharing God’s plan for sex as an integral part of the Hope Center ministry.

We also participated in Operation Joshua (www.operationjoshua.net); packing up and handing out 103,000 New Testaments with 270 other people from all over the world. Our nephew Ian and his kids Maddie (10) and Parker (5) were visiting us and were able to join us. This was a great time, just sharing in the joy of serving together.

Additionally at the Men’s Refugee Camp, Mike was able to pray with his friend from Syria for salvation!!!

All in all, it has been a very hectic summer and now we are on vacation. Just enjoying time around the house and at local beaches with no schedule!!! We are trying to rest and gear up for the fall, which is right around the corner.

We appreciate your prayers for...
- God to open the hearts of the Greeks who received the NTs this summer and to draw many to Himself
- wisdom in planning strategies for the new ministry year
- healing for Mike's back
