Brief Report from Thessaloniki, Greece
We are overjoyed to tell you that the Lord superabundantly blessed the recent conference that was held here last month. Many saints came from nearby countries and from even as far away as Belize to blend with us. The saints coming in such a way really gave the conference the needed impact to encourage all our contacts and the saints from other surrounding small localities. It might be hard to imagine, but to have 70 saints in one place exercising their spirit can be a big supply to localities that are used to having only seven. One sister described it with three words that she has never used to describe a conference before: “sweet,” “intimate,” and “cherishing.” We thank the Lord for honoring all the prayers of the Body for the conference. We all felt that the Lord took another solid step toward re-establishing His testimony here and in the Balkans.
The conference also coincided with the final literature distribution trip for the refugees in Greece for the foreseeable future. We were blessed to have been able to participate in the forefront of another move of the Lord. We received and co-labored with saints from all over the world in all kinds of difficult, unfamiliar, and new situations. We believe that even in this, much building took place in addition to all the seeds of the gospel of the kingdom that were sown among the refugees. May the Lord continue to gain fruit from this sowing here in Greece and throughout Europe.
We are now beginning to go out weekly to an area near the university campus to distribute the Recovery Version in English. Our prayer is that the Lord will fill our hands with some English-speaking Greeks who will be re-constituted with the truths in this “gold bar” and will acquire a taste for the ministry and join themselves to the testimony of Jesus in this city. Please pray with us for this. Thank you again for standing with us in prayer, in giving, and in coming!
The serving ones in Greece
