OCT GWOM: ΙΣΤΟΣΕΛΙΔΑ – WEBSITE




THE HOPE CENTER: We are so happy to tell you that as of Oct. 21st, The Hope Center finally has a website, in both English and Greek. This has been a dream of ours for years and after countless hours of hard work and the cooperation of many volunteers, we are live! You can visit the site at www.hopecenter.gr or www.kentroelpidas.gr for those of you who prefer Greek!

This website is so important to the ministry because it has been reported that more babies are being saved around the world through the use of the Internet than any other way. Girls who find themselves in unplanned pregnancies are going online to see what their options are.

We are also able to dispel some common myths through the truths we present on the website, such as using a fetal development chart which shows that life begins at the moment of conception; that the embryo is a child from the start, not just a mass of tissue for months.

Now that we have this valuable tool, we are on a publicity campaign, spreading the word that this help is available. Towards this end, Mike spent four days in Northern Greece hanging our posters in pharmacies, eateries, shops, and bus stops throughout small villages there. Lots more to do, but we are off to a good start!

Additionally, it was really fun to see the first Hope Center baby, who is almost 1 yr.old now, again. Little baby Sef (pictured above) and his Mom stopped by our office for a visit. Isn't he darling?

PERSONALLY:  The weeks are flying by for us as we are wrapping up our time here in Greece. We have hosted a garage sale and have emptied our apartment of most of our furniture. We will move into a furnished flat above our church in mid November for our last month here.

For those of you who missed reading last month, we have felt God calling us out of Greece and will be pursuing working alongside a national church, in mentoring and discipleship somewhere in Mexico and/or Central America, beginning in 2015.

In the meantime, Hellenic Ministries has graciously agreed to continue processing the financial gifts you send on our behalf until the time we have a new mission selected so you are able to continue giving as normal through them. 

Please pray with us:
  • For God to use the new website to help many to choose life for their unborn children.
  • For God to move  Greek men and women to join the prolife movement here in Greece. 
  • For us to finish well here and for wisdom and direction for future ministry.
