Wednesday Morning Report

Submitted by Ron Kretz on Wed, 03/03/2010 - 19:45

Greetings in the Lord dear loved ones and friends,

We hope this finds you very well this day.  Just wanted to let you know we’ve been thinking and praying for you all this week.  We thank God that each and every one of you have been placed in our life.  You are the imperishable treasure in our hearts that cannot be taken away by the corruption and disintegration we see going on all around us in this world.

Many of you have been dropping us a line asking about how things are going here in Greece, with all the news about the economic turmoil the country finds itself in.  Yes, the Greek government is working as hard as it can to correct a very difficult situation the country finds itself in.  And, yes the people are upset with the many belt tightening measures the government is imposing on them.  Nobody likes it when the money goes away, but they do realize that something must be done.  Hopefully the country and the people continues to move forward.

Wednesday Morning Report from Athens

Submitted by Ron Kretz on Wed, 06/24/2009 - 17:13

 

Greetings in the Lord,

I know I haven’t been very prompt in getting my Wednesday morning reports to you this year.  Sorry about that.  No excuses.  Know that in spite of where life has been taking us, we constantly keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

I always think that things might slow down this last term just after graduation and just before summer break.  And then I’m always surprised.  What a great week this has been.

Yohannes Woldearegaye, our Ethiopian student, approached me this week and wanted to sit down and have a serious talk.  You guessed it.  He wants to be baptized for the remission of his sins.  He was worried that I might have a problem with that.  When I told him I was delighted that he had made this decision, he was beside himself with excitement.  He has decided that we will do his baptism this coming Monday at the school.

Wednesday Morning Update - 7/16/08

Submitted by Ron Kretz on Wed, 07/16/2008 - 14:52

Greetings to each and everyone of you dear loved ones,  We pray this finds you very well this day.

 

The winds are picking up this week in Athens, and that’s not really a good thing.  It’s the fire season and they are very worried that his wind will cause things to dry out even further and provide more fuel for the summer fires they seem to have in abundance here.  I see on the news that there are several small ones burning north of Athens that they are keeping working on to prevent from becoming big ones, like last year.

 

Wow, did we have a great end of the school year here in Athens. We finished up our classes Tuesday with our final exam on 2 Corinthians and now it’s a matter of getting the final grades completed and the books closed on this school year.
