Dear Friends: To view this in your browser click here You have been praying, we have been praying, you have been giving and then praying some more and giving some more. And of coarse just like us waiting, expectantly for our departure date always waiting for God's perfect timing. This morning I (Evangelia) was listening to a message by Larry Titus and he shared about God's perfect timing. He shared the illustration of a well trained dog that has a doggie biscuit set on his nose and then he is told to wait and wait and wait and then his master says 'get it' and immediately the dog gets it. This waiting does feel unnatural and sometimes frustrating but it's all good in God's perfect timing. We have felt like the dog in the illustration, that had to wait and wait and wait some more. But this morning the Master has said "Get it" and so we have purchased our tickets and are packing our bags! Our departure date is March 30th with an arrival date to Athens March 31st. As we mentioned in our last letter we were prayed and sent out from The Church on the Way. It was a powerful time of prayer where God spoke very specific things to us, that were not only encouraging for this time but also words that will give us hope and faith as we continue to walk into this great assignment. After that we were able to share God's word and ministry of music with the congregation in Hacienda Heights, Aletheia Church. For our last four Sundays we have been/will be serving at the Foursquare Church in North Hills, El Mission del Rey with their children's Palm Sunday/Easter programs. We are grateful we get to continue to use our gifts here on the home front until the day we get to leave. Please continue to pray for us as fervently as ever as we step into this adventure He has set before us. Pray for the country of Greece as so many things feel uncertain, that God will become the 'certain' and hope for every person. Thank you for giving and giving so generously, your gifts are an instrument in God's hand for our departure and ultimately for reaching the Greeks with His love. Thank you for your partnership and love! In His love and grace, Stephen & Evangelia Additional prayer points:
