Home for the Holiday

I am now home for Christmas and it is good to be back. I am greatly enjoying the time I have with my family, friends, and visiting my chruch. I have missed each one and will cherish the time I have.
I would like to give an update on how things are going in Greece. God is working in a mighty ways in the lives of the Greeks and also my own. I have been honored to be a part of the commuinty center and to be one of the leaders of the center. I spend my weekends with the children and have seen a stronger bond and friendship being formed with the children. The relationships are growing and time together is so sweet. I miss the kids tremendously and can not wait to get back to them. I am excited to see how God will continue to work in the lives of the community; both children and parents alike.
At the center we have now started music and language lessons which take place during the week and soon will be adding a tutoring area and a computer lab on the top floor.
I also will be working with the youth more when I get back in Jan. I have been going to youth group on Saturday nights but will start to go to the youth Bible study on Wednesday nights also when I return. The youth at the First Greek Evangelical Chruch are amazing young adults who have a huge heart for the Lord. It is amazing to see God work in there lives.
Finally during the week I attend classes at the Greek Bible Institute where I have meet many great people. God truly placed me right in the middle of a group of amazing people to love and encourage me. I have learned so much at the school including in the classroom and out of the classroom knowledge. I thank God for putting the people from the school in my life.
