Sunday

Today was a very special day. We looked on the internet and typed in Evangelical Churches in Crete: We found two. So this morning we headed to the church in Herkelion. It said it was near the McDonald's Take Away. We found the McDonald's; but where to go from there? Many don't speak English so getting directions is difficult. Finally Rich went into McDonald's and he met a couple from Ireland who was looking for the same thing.

What a joy to meet other christians in a strange land and we headed down the street together. According to Greek custom, we were invited to lunch at someones home. Fun! Fun! Fun! Great message from a young man and we felt a kindred spirit with them all (However, first time we had wine with communion).

On an island with 500,000+ people, there are only a handful of christians. Most are connected with the Greek Orthodox Church, but have never heard of the Bible or a personal relationship with Christ.They asked us to tell others to pray for them.
