We’re all ramping up for the beginning of the school year. Living within a block or two of the two largest universities in Greece, the neighborhood is buzzing with excitement. Students arrive daily. Bookstores stay open through the usual siesta hours. On campus, outside of the auditorium where freshmen register for classes, the social political groups clamor to help them find classes and cafeterias (almost like fraternity and sorority rush).
Our short-term staff (one-year stinters) arrived last week. Fighting jet lag, they joined the long-term campus team for orientation and planning for this school year. It’s been fun to watch them navigate the streets in the neighborhood and the cultural nuances of daily life like ordering food and saying thank you to people who help us.
I’ve loved getting a little bit of time on campus—eating a meal in the cafeteria, spending a morning at a café in the philosophy school, prayer walking around the University of Athens and the National Technical University. I can’t wait for classes to start on October 6!
You can pray with us
· that we’d be able to easily connect with over 70 Greek students who were friends with our summer project students and/or last year’s campus team.
· that God would go before us, leading students through His Spirit to seek Him.
· that by Christmas we’d have five students who are following Christ and gathering friends to learn more about Him.
