The goal of our team to Greece was to draw attention to the Gospel and increase the perception of evangelicals who are held in very low esteem by picking up trash and painting the fence of a mental institution.
We wore shirts and hats with messages from the Greek evangelical church while we picked up trash on the highways and byways of Volos for about 5 hours a day. I’ve never seen so much trash. we gave presentations in church at both the Greek and English services to encourage the local believers. The mental institute put a letter of thanks into the biggest newspaper and on the last day the governor of Volos came and put us on TV and so we did leave a good witness.
I’m glad I went, and I met great Greek people plus my team members and ate amazing food.
