Today we should all stop and spend time in prayer for Project Thessalonica
1. It is time to offer praises to the Lord our God for the incredible ways He has showed His power, might and grace since the work began.
2. For the many who are sincerely enquiring after truth, we must pray that their hearts and minds may be opened and that their souls may be saved.
3. Brother Angelo in particular, but the Logan family as well, are most weary and need rest and strength.
4. Brother Brent writes, “Please pray for our visa situation. An American citizen can stay 6 months within a one year period in Greece without a visa, howbeit in 90 day increments. Therefore, when we entered Greece, our family was given 90 days to stay in the country without a visa. After that period of time, we must leave the country for a period of time before returning unless a visa is obtained. Knowing this, we traveled to Athens to see a Christian lawyer within two weeks of crossing the border to expedite our needed visas. Because of the slow work ethic here, we are still waiting for permission to stay in the country. We have a little over a week remaining. My lawyer has assured me that there is no problem, and we will not have to depart, but it is unsettling to say the least to see things come down to the wire. The lawyer tells me that I may have to fly to meet with him in the Greek Consulate in Romania to finalize the issue next week. We have really leaned on the advice of our lawyer in all these matters. Please pray that nothing will hinder the obtaining of the visas. It is in the Lord’s hands, and it is not our desire to go back to Romania for 2 weeks, much less 3 months, until this is resolved. Too much is happening here for the cause of Jesus Christ to be set back with this. Some people stay beyond the legal limit and pay fines or live with not getting to return later, but this also is not our desire.”
5. The Grandstaffs from Ridge Road Baptist in Alabama are the next team in, traveling Monday to join the work.
6. The Greek elections are TODAY. People must return to the town of their birth in order to vote. We do not know how this will affect church attendance. Most importantly, we need to pray that the outcome of this election will be favorable to the gospel work in Thessalonica and throughout Greece.
Thank you so much for your continued interest in Project Thessalonica.
