Yesterday we toured the city of Athens. We had an hour bus tour around the city and then we walked up to the acroplis to visit the Parthenon, Erectheion, and we read the from Acts 17 on Mars Hill overlooking the city of Athens. We thought it might rain, but praise God we had beautiful weather! We then headed down to Plaka, where the students enjoyed looking and shopping in downtown Athens. In the evening we joined a group of Russians at the Helping Hands center. There we were able to encourage them with songs of worship and their response was humbled us. We saw tears of joy as they looked at our group and remembered their children in Russia. They prayed that they would come to know God in the way our students have.

Today we had a full and eventful schedule - six worship services! Our day began at a Romanian church where our students led the children's class with skits and songs. At 11 o'clock we went to the Omonia Church of Christ to attend the Greek service; next was the Bulgarian service, then the Russian service and the International English service. To finish the day we joined a group of young Greek people in a time of prayer, worship, and small groups at the Evripidou center.

The Bulgarians were touched by our students and presented them with beautiful red roses, which is the flower of Bulgaria.
