Pause/Godi

Athens Day 4:

I love Sundays on the Snail-Trail! They are my days of rest. Today Jeff went with me to the Sunday morning service at the International Christian Fellowship (ICF) of Athens. The first song that was sung was certainly one that spoke to Jeff (video). The second one was ment for me. It spoke of God's glory being found in the hard places in our walk of faith. It was a good lead as well to my message about facing our giants. It is when we face our giants that we discover how big our God is.

Photo 1: Matt and Merissa Barker are Assembly of God intercultral workers and pastors of ICF in Athens. There are some legal issues connected with their church building that need to be resolved so that the congregation can move forward in their ministry outreach to Athens. Pray for God's grace to be at work and his will to be done in this situation.

Photo 5: Last night on my way back to the hostel I walked by this political rally. I wonder if the young communist woman that I spoke with at the university on Thursday was there.
