Eva Bagasao's Greece Update 22 Sept

Praise the Lord, I arrived here in Athens rejoicing!!I
was met by 3 ladies at the Elefterios Venizelos
Airport at 6 PM Sept 20 after a long and delayed
flight. It is home sweeet home to my cute spot at the
Sister Nini's living room where my bed is. I have to
cover the bed every time friends come over as the kids
love to jump on it. I thank God for her hospitality
along with her daughter.

About 8:30 of my arrival, two of the ladies were on
their way to the Bible study in church when 2 men
riding on a motorcycle sped away once they grabbed
Aloha's purse just a block from where I live. Her
passport, money just withdrawn at the airport,
employers' house key, working permit, newly bought
cell phone, etc. were in it. They ran to ask help from
our Greek senior friend below our building and
reported to the police but got no help. Her lawyer is
the only one who can help her secure again a working
permit but when?

Thank you for praying for Aloha. She prayed to receive
Christ in one of our training sessions about 2 years
ago, a lady in her mid-20s. This is one of the
realities here in Greece and thank you for praying for
us.

I will start to meet some of the trainees as I visit
their churches tomorrow to conect for the training
sessions. In here, it is better to meet them in person
than calling on the phone which cost much euros of
cell phone load but slower.
