Feb GWOM: Προετοιμασία-Preparing


The GWOM (Greek Word of the Month) for February is Προετοιμασία-Preparing.

Who would have ever guessed that there was so much work involved in starting this new ministry? Certainly not me!! 

We have almost completed our 55 page Policy & Procedure Manual and our 16 page Resident Manual. It's amazing how much time and energy goes into these things. We have almost been tempted to lose heart, but God keeps giving us little encouragements along the way. 

Here are some of the ways God has encouraged us this month:
  • Four girls from the Greek Bible College have been helping us make   video collages of THC, developing a correspondence format for us, translating one manual for us, plus accompanying us on campus to speak to the Greeks about this ministry. 
  •  Marina Karava, who partners with us and who runs Hope for Life, a pregnancy care center, was invited to speak to the youth and parents in Thessaloniki about sanctity of human life issues. 
  • We've made contact with two local gynecologists and hope to meet with them in person soon to speak to them about what we hope to do. 
  •  We are beginning a post abortion recovery education class next week to help women deal with abortion losses. 
Please pray with us:

-For perseverance and diligence with the manuals.
-For us to find just the right translators for all our materials and that the translation can be done quickly. We can't present our ministry until this is done.
-For finances to complete the building, translation etc. 


HELLENIC MINISTRIES IS ALSO PREPARING FOR OPERATION JOSHUA 6. 
COME SEE US IN GREECE THIS SUMMER!
