Final Wrapup

 I am finally able to get to a good wifi connection so am able to do a final wrap of our time serving in Greece.  Our team of 23 did a super job.  The days were long (9 AM to 7 PM each day) and hot (95-107), but they persevered with smiles on their faces and love for the children. The kids really bonded with our team many times asking us to have a meal with them and their family.  On our final day we did a program for the parents.  The kids told about the Bible story they covered each day and sang several of the songs they learned.  As usual the parents loved seeing their kids praising God in this way.  Also on our final day we gave away all 1000 pounds of the supplies we took with us.  This is always a highlight for the parents as they get to stock up on a wide variety of games, crafts, and toys. 

The day after the closing program was a clean up day for our team in the morning and in the afternoon we had the opportunity to tour the ancient ruins of Corinth.  Again, like in Athens in was humbling as a Christian to walk where the Apostle Paul walked and where he was tried before Gallio.

Thank you for following our ministry on this blog site.  We pray you were encouraged.
