Oct GWOM - ΔΙΑΣΥΝΔΕΣΕΙΣ - CONNECTIONS

Hooked up for another ultrasound 

Peggy, C, Sarah & Marina

Our team with C & Katerina, our midwife

This month has been amazing as we have watched God provide for us and for the pregnant girl living with us at The Hope Center in so many ways! Our hearts are so thankful. We are often overwhelmed, but are seeing Him so faithful in supplying all we need at just the right time.

This update would be way too wordy to describe each “connection” He’s made for us, so we will just highlight a few:

-A Greek social worker that meets with C weekly and is an amazing source of information and godly counsel for her and for us.

-Another Greek girl who visits C once a week and does English classes with her as well as sharing many girly things, like haircuts, manicures, pedicures, make up tips etc.

-A visiting missionary couple that live and work in her homeland who were able to talk to C about life back home and about baby care as the wife is a nurse.

-Two Greek midwives who are partnering with us. One has provided pre-natal instruction for C at THC and the other has met with C and with us to answer any questions we have about the delivery, the hospital and the ways things are done here in Greece.

-A Greek doctor who has been monitoring C all throughout her pregnancy.

-Heating at THC, finally we have an operating heating system just in time for the cold.

On and on, but a few more connections this month:

            -A couple who worked with Gypsies in Northern Greece
      -A Greek/English couple with an interest in THC
      -Medical testing facility
      -Local police department officials
      -Legal counsel
      -And so many friends who have donated all the practical  things that C needs for her baby such as a pack n play, baby clothes, diapers, car seat, baby carrier, bassinet etc.

We are so thankful that we are not alone in this. God is showing Himself so strong and able, as well as having our team mate Sarah living with us and shouldering the responsibilities. We are also thankful to our extended HM team, and to you-our international prayer and support team.

Please pray with us:

-For a good labor and delivery process, and a healthy baby for C. Her baby is due around Nov 10^th.

-For one of us to be able to be with her throughout the process, we have been told this is not possible, but would so like for her not to be alone.

-For the family that is being formed, with C, her boyfriend and their son. Their needs for  housing, work, and legal status which are tremendous.

-For C to see and to know Jesus as Lord and Savior.

-For mental, physical and emotional strength for us to finish well through this process of our first girl.
