This year we're in Halkidiki for the first time (we previously went to the island of Paros) to enable more Greek students to come, a great thing for the Greek CU movement and churches.
 |
| Team Bible Study |
It's an excellent opportunity to:
- Get to know Jonathan and Dawn Clark, our mission partners out in Greece
- Support the Clarks in the work they are doing
- Reach out to locals and holiday makers in Halkidiki
- Grow personally as we reflect on God’s word personally and corporately, live alongside brothers and sisters and step out of our comfort zones in speaking of Jesus.
- Get a taste of the church in Europe (including going to the Clarks’ church’s Sunday gathering in Athens)
- Get a taste of life as a missionary
Details are below, but before that, here’s a taste from one year’s team journal:
“The bulk of the afternoon was again spent at the beach. We indulged in a game of volleyball, with abilities increasing rapidly, at one point resulting in a rally of 4 hits. We were literally on our way to performing at Olympic standards. At 6 in the evening, Chen, Ed and I met Morten and Jonathan at a local café to chat and look at Mark 2v1-12. There were some encouraging moments, but also some inevitable disagreements over the importance of Jesus’ claims. We ate dinner at the same restaurant in the evening and this time we were accompanied by two German girls from the camp. It was great to include them in our group and have the opportunity to be witnesses for Christ around the girls. After dinner, a group of the team went to town to chat to passers-by about Jesus and invite them to a Bible study. There were mixed reactions as anticipated but with a few agreeing to meet.”
Be there.
5th to 20th July, £250 + flights (flying into Athens, out of Thessaloniki).
