Mike and Caroline Miller

Serving in Greece

According to mission research websites like JoshuaProject.net, Greece has a population of about 10.5 million people with about half of one percent (.5%) considered to be evangelical believers. To put this in perspective, Iran has more than twice as many evangelical believers at 1.2.%
Planting churches is one way to be an effective, long term, evangelistic presence in Greece.
Mike and Caroline partner with and support the church planting initiatives of the First Greek Evangelical Church in Athens.
Specifically, they have been tasked by their Greek partners with supporting a church plant in Agia Paraskevi, a community about 6 miles NE of Athens city center. In August of 2018 they moved to Agia Paraskevi from Charleston SC and rented an apartment a few blocks from the church plant.
Currently Mike preaches about twice a month and together, Mike and Caroline help accompany the worship with flute and guitar each Sunday.
They also lead Bible studies for area college students, help teach Greek to ministry type folks, and are involved in facilitating seminars for the community on a monthly basis to build relationships and trust between the church and the community.

Prayer Requests:

1. Tuesday nights are college ministry nights in our home. We've had two so far with two Greek students open to exploring Christianity. We provide a safe, argument free zone where they feel free to say how they feel about God. Our goal is not to win an argument on existence of God. Our goal is to win friends to keep the dialogue going to see what God will do in their lives. You can pray specifically for Paul (Παύλος) and Evelina (Εβελίνα). 
   
2. School started in early September. Pray for a good school year for daughter Ella (11th grade) and Caroline (21 years of teaching).
   
3. We plan to restart regular meetings with the Deree American college. Pray now for this restart.
   
4. Language learning
   
5. We are once again able to have in-person church services in Agia Paraskevi. It has been a joy to meet together!  Mike continues to preach every other week.
   
6. An immigrant family from Afghanistan is currently living in Agia Paraskevi and were introduced to some of the people in our church. We have become friends and are praying about how the Lord might use the friendship for his glory. 
   
7. For months, Mike and Caroline joined others in walking the streets of the Pangrati neighborhood while praying. Now the Millers are excited to be a part of the newest church plant in Athens. The official start is November 7th. Pray for many to come and worship our Lord in the community of Pangrati.
