The Greek Bible Institute

My team resides at the Greek Bible Institute, the only Bible College in Greece. They have been operating for some 40+ years now. They are a very small college and a lot of the staff is volunteer and/or raises support.

Just recently the Greek government has chosen to recognize private colleges in Greece. Previously, they had only recognized public universities. Unfortunately, a new law essentially requires that there be 500,000 Euros in the bank for every recognized university in Greece. This is bad.

The people on staff here are relatively calm about this predicament. They seem to be quietly trusting God for whatever happens. I look around at how small and good this place is - a place where Greeks and Americans come to learn about the Bible, Theology, and Christian Community.

Pray that the Greek Bible Institute would be able to raise this incredible amount of money by August. They have a start, but they need a lot more.
