It has been a busy
month of spreading the word about The Hope Center across Athens. We have begun
sending out a monthly pro-life prayer email and have had
speaking engagements in The Greek Bible College, an evening service in a
Greek church and in a Greek woman's Bible study group. We also hosted a
team of pastors from South Africa for a prayer visit to THC. We are trusting
that God is on the move, making His will known about His heart for LIFE here in
Greece. We are also praying for Him to draw many Greeks into this ministry.
As
the awareness campaign increases, our personal life is also in the
midst of much activity. We have sold most of our possessions and have moved out
of our apartment of 7 years as we prepare for our exit from Greece.
We will begin our
furlough/transition time in December as we land in Colorado Dec 17th for
the holidays with the kids and grandkids. Then we head to Wheaton in January
and back to CO for a debrief at MTI in late January.
We look forward to
seeking the Lord and His direction for our next steps in ministry. It's both
scary and exciting at the same time, to step away from the known and to leap
into the unknown. Oh, the adventures He has planned for us as we follow Him!
If you've missed it
before, 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 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.
