ATHENS
We were invited for a traditional greek dinner in sis Marta's house. We were all well fed. According to the saints, a cup of coffee available in the restaurant is very very expensive, as Greek like to spend time with their friends or families. They just sit down and talk for hours. So, if you ever visited someone or were invited for even just a cup of tea or coffee, please be ready to spend at least 3 hours in their house. if you leave in 20 minutes, it might not be good for them. And i find out that there are saints who stay in Istanbul, Italy! Praise the Lord! So, i'm finding my way to detour to Turkey and Romania before i go to Germany. Sis Paula and I talk a lot. We share on our experience and our view and many things else. She is an American-Greek. Her mother is the first one who were saved among their immediate relatives. They were all Orthodox previously.(According to Paula, orthodox and catholic is quit similar, they divided not because of different teaching but mainly of ambition for more power. You can distinguish them, as in catholic, there is a lots of statue idols while in orthodox, there were a lots of icon, mainly in photos or pictures)One of her mother's friend were saved and looks very happy even while she is having family problem. This attracted Paula's mother, she decided to find out why her friend is so happy. So, she attended the bible study group and from there she touched the Lord and was saved. She bring the family members and relatives into salvation. As for Paula, she attended FTTA in 1996, " I'm not that type who admire to live in other country. but when i was in my first year of training, the Lord seems is telling me, as for you, I am in Russia, you have to go Russia, if not, you would not have my present. But i was not willing to go. therefore i struggle for a year, at last, i say, Amen. I filled up the form and i wrote the definite consecration for migration as 1 year and i'm open for Lord's leading. Then, I went to Russia. Half way through that year, I feel that the Lord wants me to stay longer. Because for the first year, you were mostly being adjusted, because you were in foreign country facing so many new things. You were mainly being adjusted, not that useful and I find it hard to learn the language. I even consider: will I be able to manage the language?(not only for communication, but to fellowship with the saints in a deeper way, to supply others) but, whenever the Lord asks you for something, He will provide the supply at the same time. So, i stayed. In 2002, i went back to Texas. five and a half year later, through the fellowship and speaking in the body, i received the burden for europe. Because i had the experience to answer His call before, this time is very simple. I arrived in London on August, 2oo7, May 2008 reached Athens together with Sis Julean and Bro Ron."
