Our home base in Greece was a camp owned by the Greek Orthodox Church, so it was a miracle that we were allowed to stay there at all. They had never had Protestants stay there before.
Our local missionary/pastor was Melleti. I really liked him. He’s short and a lot of fun! He spent four years trying to lead people to Christ, but they just got offended because they’re already Greek Orthodox. About four years ago he started serving more than talking and since then has had much better results over time. They were all so happy that we were there. My favourite was when I sang a solo in church at the English service.
