Dear Friends: To view this in your browser click here
I know that at one point or another you have found yourself in a very similar place to where we are now. A place of certainty of the next step all the while waiting for just the right time. Sometimes wondering if it will actually come and yet approaching rapidly. We have not been able to set a departure date yet and we have withheld a newsletter in hopes we would have a date. However, it is time to let you know what we have been up to even though we don’t have an exact timeframe yet. In the month of November Stephen had the privilege of sharing from God’s word a message that has been in his heart regarding the fear of The Lord. We visited one of our partnering churches with which we have a wonderful history (it may be a story for another time) Lifegate Church. We were also happy to steal away some time and enjoy our family for Thanksgiving up in Lake Arrowhead area. In December we also got to visit the new church our dear friend James Hoegger planted recently. We are so greatful to have their partnership and that we had the opportunity to meet that congregation. We believe God has something great in store for Sacramento and we were privileged to witness the beginning of what He’s doing there! We also had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas with our family. Our girls were particularly excited to be at their Papa and Yaya's house Christmas morning. Meanwhile, God has been providing funds and preparing our hearts for this big move. We are looking forward to the day we set our feet on Greek soil and start doing the work we have been looking forward to doing for such a long time! We also got to visit The Sanctuary church at the beginning of February, and will be getting prayed/sent out of our home church, The Church On the Way this Sunday, as well as sharing from God's word at Aletheia church in Hacienda Heights the following week. Please join us in prayer that we will released to leave sometime in March! We cannot finish this letter without telling you how valuable you are to us because your prayers for our family and Greece are making a difference. We are also grateful for how you are faithfully giving and in a sense still sowing the seed of provision. It is because of your gifts up to this point that are making it possible for us to see our departure day approaching rapidly. Many blessings and love, Stephen, Evangelia, Gabriela Zoe and Ariel Agapi Prayer points: 1) That we will reach the full amount of monthly support needed to be able to set our departure date and book our tickets for March. 2) The right apartment will become available at the right time in Athens. 3) Greece just went through an election but regardless of the outcome that God will have mercy on Greece and that His will and blessing will be established in the land. 4) Continued prayer that as our hearts are being prepared for the task ahead, the hearts of the national believers will be getting prepared for something new and the hearts of those who are still lost and without hope will also be getting prepared for their encounter with God's love!
