This is Greece

This trip has been awesome in so many ways. We are seeing Jesus in the unexpected places...today it was in rest. God gave us a day of rest in the midst of all we are doing. This gave us a chance to be in Skala Sikamenia with not much "to do", but also a chance to build relationships, pray over the camp and all the people who will be visiting, and for God to speak to us. He is changing us. Some in big ways, some in smaller, but all the same he's bringing us closer to himself and showing himself to be faithful to the obedient. We just can't thank him enough for who he is and for how close he is to us in these uncertain times and days where we must remain vigilant in our flexibility as well as our prayer and praise to him. We are praying that the Lord gives us more and more opportunities to share his love to the people of Lesvos, other volunteers, and those fleeing from their home countries for safety as refugees. Thank you for covering us in prayers. We couldn't do this without you. 

Now I am going to share quite a few pictures of the days spent on Lesvos.
