It’s rare for Greek households to have the scriptures in modern Greek so we were glad to set out on Monday to cover more of Thessaloniki with Bibles. Though we didn’t interact with as many people as we did on Saturday, it was fun to see one woman walking down the street reading the New Testament she had just received from one of our other teams.
Our days were filled with getting to know new friends and hearing more about how God is working in different parts of the world. Our team met people from more than 30 countries! Our stories of God’s work in our lives vary greatly, but Christ unites us as brothers and sisters.
One great blessing of our trip was to spend some time with some of our ministry partners from both Albania and North Macedonia. We were able to take a picture with them and our team from the States…a group of 31 people!
We we have just arrived back safely in the US. Thank you for praying for our time in Greece!
Christos anesti! (Christ is risen!)

Claire, this is such an encouraging post! My heart rejoices when I hear about partnerships being formed and strengthened in Albania and Macedonia!
Isaiah 55 God promises that God’s word will accomplish what he sends it out to do. Let’s beseech the Lord of the harvest, who sent you workers into his field, to send his Holy Spirit powerfully with divine blessings upon the Bibles.
So glad you all got back home safely!
