We spent the first night in Nafplio (our favorite get-away spot), before touring the ancient theater of Epidavros, and spending our second night in the small resort town of Portoheli. We ended up coming home a day [...]

We began Sunday morning with Sofia’s first Easter Egg hunt and later enjoyed a time of worship at church. We spent the afternoon eating and sharing in fellowship with teammates and some Afghan and Iranian friends. Here are [...]

Love Is Like That
Merry Christmas!! Here is a very brief snippet of the message I shared at our Arabic-language Christmas Outreach. The refrain (“love is like that”) is taken from a wonderful old sermon by Enos Dowling, one of the founding fathers of LCCS, where I went to seminary.
