Saturday night and Sunday morning we said our farewells to one another, and then team members parted ways for home (or, in a couple of cases, for some extra days in Greece). A few of us took a (very speedy) cab ride to the airport Sunday morning, then boarded Air Canada's flight to Toronto at noon. We arrived in Canada at 3:30 p.m. after ten and a half hours in the air. Then connections were made to our various cities, and I arrived in Philly about 7:30 p.m. So it was a long day--but great, great for reflecting on the time of ministry in Athens, and great for getting back home with family!
This Sunday, June 24, I'll be preaching at Goshen Baptist Church from Acts 17:16-34, Paul's message to the philosophers at Athens about "The Unknown God." I'll also share a brief mission report and show some photos.
A big thank you, once again, to all who have prayed for this mission project. We as a team have been blessed to spend this season of concentrated time in God's Word with brothers and sisters in Christ whose zeal for the honor of the Lord is beautiful to behold. Pray for their growing faith and deepening understanding of God's truth and effectiveness in advancing the Gospel and establishing healthy churches among numerous immigrant groups in Athens and beyond!
