άφιξη (arrival)

We arrived in Athens, Greece on Saturday, May 31st late in the evening. We are thankful that God gave us safe travels. We are staying at the Greek Bible Institute, a very small Bible college just outside of Athens in Pekirmi. It was graduation night, so things were a bit chaotic as we tried to find our rooms and get settled. The Greeks were very welcoming though, and we got to be with a lot of people almost immediately upon arrival!

It's amazing that just about anywhere you go in the world, there are a few Christians there to be your family. The Christian family spans the entire globe.


This is a picture of our team right before our first Sunday at First Evangelical Church in Athens. From left to right: Agilles (one of the Greek leaders), Austen, Chelsea, Mallory, me, Rachel, Caroline, and Brian & Lorrie (our mentors for the first two weeks).

Our team is excited about what we're going to be doing here. Keep us in your prayers!
