I arrived back in Greece on Friday night and was greeted on Saturday with a group from Chicago called Stamp Greece. They have been a great group to work with; all have a heart for God and a love for missions. On Saturday night we went to the square and a group put on a concert for the community along with some puppets. I had a great time watching the team interact with the community; kids and adults.
Also at the concert I met a couple from Monroe, LA who go to First West. (For those of you who do not know, that is my home church). God allowed me to met these people and to have amazing fellowship with them. He sent them all the way to Athens, Greece and placed them in my path for a reason. It was a huge encouragement to met them and to talk about people we both know. We talked about Bro. Avant, Whit and Michelle Bass, Woods Watson, and Coach Weatherbie. It warmed my heart to hear the names of each of them because they all mean so much to me; and all had a huge role in getting me to Greece. I love how God has no boundries and will always give you more than you can ever imagine.
This morning another group, World Changers, came from various states in America and will be working on the community center. I was honored to show them the way to the community center and also to tell them a bit about the vision for the area. I am very excited to work with this group and to see the difference they will make at the center. God is going to do some great things this week and I'm ready to be a part of it.
Finally I want to leave you with a verse I read today that gave me joy and comfort.
But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. ~Jude 20 and 21

I admit I am extremely envious that you returned to Athens and are seeing the community center through. You'll have to post pictures as it comes along. I'll be praying for your peace of mind and resistance to Satan's attacks. When negative thoughts start getting the best of me and I feel like I'm going down a sinkhole, I keep it simple to quiet them: Psalm 46:10a "Be still and know that I am God". Looking forward to hearing about what the new mission crews experience in that lovely town!
megan you are so right and thank you for all your prayers. i will have to show you pictures because wolrd changers is here and they will be painting at the center. it is going to look so good. oh and one of the guys put a border around the tables with the games on them and it looks great. i will post a picture when he gets done with it.
