Pastor's Blog

From Every Nation

6/22/2016

 
Worship on Sunday has been a highlight of our trip.  We attended both the morning and evening service at the Omonia Square Church.  The morning service was in Greek with some translation and the evening service was in English.  Each service was filled with people from all over the world.  We were introduced to missionaries who were passing through Athens are their way to furlough from Tanzania.  There were Greeks, Americans, Egyptians, Philippinos and Ukrainians.  Prayers were offered in many languages.  Were were joined for parts of the service by Muslim background friends.  

Please pray that the gospel would be clearly heard and understood.  

Chrissie quickly made friends with a couple of women from the Philippines.  They have been members of the church for years and work as live-in domestic help for Greek families.  It is not an uncommon arrangement for many southern European countries.  Though we come from very different backgrounds we find common ground at the foot of the cross.  We have relished the space to worship with people who live out their faith in very different walks of life.  

On Wednesday we go to Corinth to help the local church with a church conference that they have been doing annually for several years.  We are going to help with childcare and I may be getting slotted in with the youth group.  It has been awhile since I have done youth group programming and they will likely be speaking about five different languages - but I am looking forward to it!  Please pray for us! 

And well... yes.  We will be in Corinth.  Pretty cool. 

This year, there will also be several refugee families that will be joining us for the conference.  It is an amazing opportunity and represents the fruit of faithful care and relational investment on the part of the local church.  Please pray that Christ would be known, glorified and embraced!  ​
