We have been busy with kids in June, our eight grandchildren and hundreds of others as we worked with two churches in their Vacation Bible School (VBS) programs.
Mike and I led Bible adventures for preschoolers at Grace Community Church in Loveland, CO and then for the elementary aged kids at Grace Chapel in Englewood, CO.
It was a great way to serve with our kids in ministry and to connect with others in these churches. We were tired, but had a lot of fun. It is always a joy to see kids respond to the Word of God and to experience the world again through the trusting eyes of children.
While we were here in CO, camps were taking place at Porto Astro Greece. HM hosted a refugee men's camp, refugee family camp and a junior sports camp in June. The camps are such a good place to get away from the hectic life in Athens and to spend some quality time just loving on others. We heard many good reports about lives touched by the love of Jesus at camp.
Please pray with us:
-For Greece: Economic solutions, perseverance to withstand the austerity measures, hope for better days. Please pray that many would find Christ as their Hope in the midst of the current chaos.
-For HM summer ministries -sports camps, and bible distribution: wisdom, finances, staffing, strength, health & safety.
-For God to equip & enable us to raise awareness and partners for our personal support and The Hope Center (THC) support.
-For the Greens, who will be coming to Greece from July-Dec to be interim houseparents at THC. For wisdom for all those who will make decisions regarding THC while we are on furlough.
-For favor with the city officials where THC is located. We are having some complications in getting our electricity connected and the Greens arrive there July 2!
