September GWOM: ΣΧΕΔΙΑ - PLANS

How time flies. We can't believe it's the end of September already. We have spent a lot of time planning this month. Planning for future ministry, home assignment dates, work schedules, etc.

All this planning reminds us of God's sovereignty above all. He is the ultimate Planner! Listen to some of His words about His plans:

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Jer 29:11 (NIV)

He (God) controls the course of world events, He (God) removes kings and sets up other kings...Dan 2:21 (NLT)

Especially in this time of CRISIS here in Greece, we are reminded that GOD is in charge; He is the one who is directing the events of each day. In the midst of the strikes and rioting, austerity measures and potential bankruptcy, we acknowledge that God is in control!

So we press on, trusting Him to direct our path and our ministry. We are praying fervently that God will use this period of desperation for the Greek people to draw many to Himself and that He will use us however He sees fit in this plan.

Other neat September happenings for us:

PARE: God has brought Melissa to intern with the Hope Center Team for three months and she has been leading two groups of Post Abortion Recovery Education with us. We are excited to learn how to use this tool to offer hope to many hurting post abortive women.

DISCIPLING: Mike has begun to meet weekly with his refugee friend, who became a believer this summer at camp, to study the WORD OF GOD together. Mike is so enjoying this time of discovery together.

We appreciate your prayers for...
-God to use this crisis to lead many Greeks to salvation in Jesus
-Upcoming visit from the Life International Director and Loving and Caring Founder October 10-15
-Continued construction progress on The Hope Center maternity home
