After talking about the quiet desperation of refugees earlier this month, I thought that it would be appropriate to share more hopeful stories. Here is an update from my teammate Tasha: Hello from Greece! The past few weeks have been crazy here with the increasing numbers of refugee families needing help. It has been overwhelming seeing… [Read more…]

Happy Friday! September is here and Fall is right behind it (or even already here, depending on where you live). Today’s edition of Friday’s Photos is a a look at the faces around our ministry center. Each face is a story, a life, a dream unrealized. Would you take a moment and pray over the… [Read more…]

Happy Friday! While we’re at a ministry conference (getting both sharpened and refreshed), I thought that I’d share some ministry pictures from last week. Thanks for your continued prayers as we seek to share and show the love of God in Christ with our refugee friends. Enjoy!

ΚΑΛΟ ΠΑΣΧΑ // Happy Easter! On this Good Friday, I thought that I would share some photos from our recent Easter outreaches. In all, we’ll have hosted 3 family outreaches, 1 outreach for men, and 1 kids-only event. Over 500 refugees will have had an opportunity to hear and respond to the Easter story. We… [Read more…]

Happy Friday! As you may remember, on Tuesdays we have a meal and outreach program for Farsi-speaking families (Afghans and Iranians). We begin with a meal together, and afterward offer a kid’s room (something like a Sunday school class), a baby room (nursery), and an evangelistic message for the adults. After the program, we have… [Read more…]

God continues to stir hearts. Here’s a great story from our teammate Lisa. Last Tuesday at the Farsi lunch, I watched a young Afghan woman come up to my Iranian friend, Ebi after the gospel presentation and pull him aside to ask some questions. This always prompts me to pray. Later I heard that she… [Read more…]

Happy Friday! March is here… and we’re hoping that Spring comes soon. We’re busy and too often tired (Emma apparently loves 2am), but God is good. His grace continues to sustain and strengthen us! We deeply, deeply appreciate your prayers – for our family and our ministry. Please pray for our friends “Z” and “H”… [Read more…]

Last week was certainly an adventure, at least as far as transportation is concerned. I’ll spare you the details, but cut-backs to the transportation budget have led to wide-spread striking by all forms of public transit. The buses, trains, and trolleys each called strikes throughout the week (and will quite possibly continue into this week)!… [Read more…]

Happy Friday! We’ve had an exciting week here. But I’m running late for our Friday Photos post, so I’ll save my ramblings for Monday’s post. Without any further ado, here are some snapshots from our week here. Enjoy!

Happy Friday! Hope you’re having a great week. I’ve been battling the flu… and so Kristin has been working doubly hard around the house (thanks, Love!). However, I think that I’m on the mend and am very thankful that no one else in the house got sick. Anyhow, have a great weekend! Here are a… [Read more…]

It’s been an exciting few weeks here in Athens. Many seekers, many great conversations about Jesus. Even more, we’ve been privileged to see God change lives! Two weeks ago “S” – a young Afghan man – made a decision to follow Jesus (read his testimony HERE). After one of our outreach programs, “S” shared his… [Read more…]

After our feeding program on Friday, I joined a few of my teammates in a circle with three refugee friends. One of those refugee friends was “S” – a young Afghan seeking a better life in Europe. “S” shared with us bluntly, “I thought that I coming to Europe for a better job, a better… [Read more…]

Happy Friday… well, okay, sorry… it’s Saturday. So, happy Saturday, and welcome to what is now a special Saturday edition of Friday Photos! There’s a lot of exciting stuff going on here. But no time now… I’ll share more on Monday! Until then, enjoy some pictures from our ministry this week!

Happy Friday! November – wow. Life is great… but going too fast. It feels like a run-away train these days (a good run-away train, mind you, but one that you can’t slow down!). Here are some pictures from today (yes, all four piping fresh!). The first two are from behind the scenes at our Friday… [Read more…]

Happy Friday! Thanks for your love, support, prayers, and encouragement. Fall is here: we’re beginning to see more refugees… and greater needs. Please keep us and the ministry in your prayers. Enjoy some photos from our week!
