Blog Break

It’s time to take a short break from the world of blogging. I plan on going off the grid for August – need to give extra energy to a few other projects… plus it’s just nice to have a break. The blog will be back in September!

News Review

Brett & Kristin — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 05:59:48 +0000

God is at work here in Athens! He is changing lives and drawing people to Himself. Refugees from Afghanistan, Iran, Palestine, and Somalia (most of whom have never known a Christian personally) are seeing God’s love in Jesus through acts of gospel demonstration (giving food, clothing, and friendship) and gospel proclamation (friendship evangelism, Bible studies, and Christian literature). For those of you new to our blog, here are a few stories from the summer/fall. Enjoy… and join us in praising God for His work here!

Who are these refugees? See HERE and HERE and HERE

Here are a few more personal stories from refugee friends – One, Two, Three

What’s happening at our Nest (a housing and discipleship ministry)? Part 1 and Part 2

God is opening prison doors and human hearts – God is Greater

News from our Timothy House (a discipleship and ministry training program) – Part 1 and Part 2

As a team, we’ve been talking about our ministry vision.

Thanks for your prayers, support and love!

Make Yourself at Home

Brett & Kristin — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 06:05:12 +0000

Welcome to our new blogging home. As with any visit to any new home, let’s begin with a tour.

1 – You’ll see six tabs at the top of the page (just under the title): “home” is the main blog page; “about us” offers a short introduction to our family; “the ministry” gives an overview about what we do here in Athens; “news” is an archive of our ministry newsletters; “give” provides information for supporting our ministry; and “contact” offers a few means of getting in touch with us.

2 – Under these tabs, you’ll see a personalized banner; the current one shows Sofia and I getting around in the rainy season. This will be updated periodically, whenever the blog needs a fresh look.

3 – On the right hand column, you’ll find a number of features: “pages,” where you can connect to our personal ministry pages (the same as the tabbed pages described above); “recent comments” updates where to find the latest comments; “category cloud” lets you search blog posts by themes (e.g. testimonies or videos); “Flickr Photos” displays the six most recent photos we have uploaded onto Flickr; “archives” provides a month by month archive of the blog; and the “blogroll” gives links to our friends in other refugee ministries around the world.

So, make yourself at home here and enjoy! We will continue with our current Monday-Wednesday-Friday posting schedule. Thanks for following our ministry!
