We are so blessed. From Grand Rapids to Newark to Athens to Lesvos ,all of the flights were on schedule without a hitch.
Arrived at Hotel Glazio Asterio at 4 pm local time (9:00am our body time). This will be our home for the next week.
Local restaurant on the Aegean Sea drying octopus. Can you see Turkey in the distance?
Sunday morning worship at I58. So touching to worship with this international community! Scripture displayed in English, Farsi, Arabic and French!
Lunch with sisters from All4aid. Such Delightful Mediterranean weather and delightful company !
Here’s a bit of Greek culture… as we drove through narrow streets we followed this truck filled with live chicken. A couple flew out 😭
It’s 9:30 pm and our team sorting/ packing crafts and supplies for our first day at the women’s center .
