Many thanks to all of you who remain burdened and praying for the field of Thessaloniki. We continue to go to the streets, pass out tracts, distribute gospels of John, and hold services. Telemachus (pictured with our family below) has been very faithful to church and also to our public evangelism. He has a great love for music and is extremely talented in voice. Kiriakos continues to come to church and regularly translates the services even though he has many needs. Bright and his wife have also come back to church, but we are waiting on many others to see the need to sit under the word of God. Our phone continues to ring, and we are trying to follow up on the contacts. The economic situation here is deteriorating. There are more people begging on the streets, more Greeks contemplating suicide, and a general sense of misery pervades society. The majority of the people are now in dire straits financially. We get more calls and conversations about this than anything else. It is very hard to discuss the greater aspect of spiritual and eternal things with people that are consumed with the problems and cares of this life. We desire wisdom from God to know how best to gain their attention on things of the soul.
