Prayer Requests:
1. Our transition and adjustment to Greece amidst the extremes of the Greek world right now.
2. New good friends for Abigail and Rebekah here in Athens.Huge request!!
3. Provision for the needs of our college students in the states (Kaziah and Jonah) + Josiah now married & working.
4. Syrian refugee population rising rapidly here. Government officials are expecting close to a million possible soon ... Hellenic Ministry is expending their work to the Syrians but the needs are massive.
5. Brad will join the work among the Syrians next week (as many know French too). Pray for the refugees’ time in the Bible Studies and hearing the Word proclaimed.
6. Friday night the 20th we are hosting another Syrian night with a big meal and activities at our refugee center in order to bless them and proclaim the gospel as they find themselves in a very difficult place.
7. Pray as Jamie, Abby & Beka volunteer at the women and children’s refugee center each Friday working directly with the women & many children!
8. Jamie will also run the homeschooling for Abby & Beka during the week.
9. Pray for Isaiah as he works very hard to complete his senior year in the French national school here in Athens.
10. Pray for all the Afgani, Iranian, Iraqi, Algerian, Syrian men, women & children here. Pray that their hearts would be receptive to Word of God. That the Spirit would lead them to faith. That they would then be scattered to all Europe to build the kingdom & make disciples.
11. We too are here illegally but under advisement from both missions to do so (long story - such is the case for all new missionaries here in Greece). Pray that we can maneuver rightly through the Greek world as daily there is often a requirement to visit the police station or government office etc.
12. Tuition for Isaiah’s next two semesters. Ask for provision (1660 Euros each).
13. Hellenic Ministries recently brought on a believing Syrian/Greek couple who have the hearts of disciple-makers to help connect us all to the Syrian world growing rapidly here. They need additional support - pray for this to come quickly (Brad will be working directly with this couple in their work among the S. refugees).
14. Our monthly support. We are at 88% of our budget pledged. Ask for both individuals and churches to become new partners.
15. We have several other needs beyond our budget we are trusting the Lord for. Thank you for praying for us! We need to find cheap, beat-up used car, find funding to pay for the girls to learn Greek, Isaiah’s next 2 tuition bills etc ...
