Απεργία May 5, 2010

Please pray for the people of Greece as there is tremendous social unrest and tension here these days. We are praying that God will use this national crisis as a catalyst to bring people to Himself.

In the midst of all this, our pastor taught us from Ps 11:3 "When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?" Stand in the righteousness of Christ and make use of every opportunity to speak about the unshakable Hope we have in Jesus.

We pray that the Greeks will see the foundations being destroyed and will turn to the only One is able to save them.



Our city May 5, 2010. Mike rode his bicycle through this mob to get to and from our center, about two blocks from here, to work with the refugee men. So thankful God kept him and the others safe, so much work to do.

Police say 25,000+ people demonstrated in Athens during a nation-wide general strike. As usual, it began peacefully, but became destructive and violent. We ran our Wednesday like normal with refugee men's showers and laundry along with a Bible study discussion group with lunch. All this to the sound of sirens, chants, tear gas canisters going off, smoke rising from the city, etc...
