John did a powerful job Sunday evening of expounding to the audience on the necessity of the Cross affecting lives.  He left no doubts that the Cross was essential to our becoming a Christian and essential to our continuing life.  All were complimentary of his lesson with all his students wanting the outline.  For some in the audience this may have been the renewal of them looking seriously at their relationship with Jesus.  For some it may have moved them closer to making the decision of committing their life beginning with baptism.  We had hoped to study with Julia’s husband this week, bu

The last 2 or 3 days have been welcome relief from the oppressive heat. Today there is rain and the weather very cool. John read the high will be in the 70’s. Now I am wondering why I took the extra sweater from the luggage before we left.

John has been working on his lessons for Albania. He will be presenting a seminar on the Holy Spirit. Otherwise, during spare time, we have been taking care of details. We always forget that it is best to use ATM until it is too late to get a card before we leave. There is only one American Express office in all of Greece and it is across Athens, a 2 hour trip bus ride bus, besides the wait time to get the bus and the subway ride. It is the only place to exchange traveler’s checks other than the airport and they charge a fee. We spent one day just taking care of that. ATM always gives the better exchange rate. The EURO is about what it was last year when we were here. It has been much higher so those living on the American dollar are relieved.

  The wife and I are empty nesters looking to use our talents.  We are looking for a mission or christian organization that could use us.  Neita is a certified elementary teacher.  I am presently employed as maintenance suppervisor at a federal training facility.  I am an electrician by trade.

  If you know of someone that could use us or know where we could look, your assistance will be welcome.
