valentine's day party



Last Sunday we invited our Greek girlfriends to a party to honor them and our friendship. We weren’t sure that anyone would show up because those who weren’t studying for finals (yes, they go on forever here) were celebrating Karnaval (like Mardi Gras) in Patras. The Lord brought three friends to join us, three girls named Ana.

We had a great time! We played games, decorated cupcakes, and talked about what real love is. Girls shared their ideal love stories (Pride and Prejudice, Twilight) and we talked about how God’s love for us runs far deeper and has far more substance. He loves us securely and sacrificially. He enables us to truly love.

Please pray for Ana, Ana, and Ana to understand and accept God’s love for them.

Please pray for our students to desire spiritual growth as they begin their next semester next week.
