The Balkans<br />
Hungary<br />
With spiritual emptiness left behind by communism,<br />
Hungarians are searching for something to fill the<br />
hopelessness in their lives. Jesus Christ is the Hope for the<br />
hopeless. It has been our prayer and desire to see Biblebelieving,<br />
gospel-proclaiming churches planted all over<br />
Hungary. Reaching people by varied ministries, those we<br />
support desire transformation of the hopeless through the<br />
gospel at the local church. Learn more at reachbudapest.org.<br />
Pray for<br />
• Full-time missionaries in various evangelistic ministries:<br />
Cassidy Baker (café ministry), Brian Harris (ReachGlobal<br />
area leader), Harold and Cindy Golden (church planters,<br />
English clubs), Betsy Melchers (art ministry), Mark and<br />
Jodi Revell (church planters, Budapest team leaders),<br />
Jack and Beth Thompson (missionary care).<br />
• A team that will visit Tapolca to conduct a Teen English<br />
Camp, June 21-July 7. Pray the Hungarian students (and<br />
ours) are transformed by the preaching of the Word.<br />
• Dillon and Kamren Mack (Barrington) are preparing for<br />
long-term ministry in Hungary.<br />
• Doug and Kristi Andre (Barrington) were recently<br />

Greece<br />
As we follow the Lord’s direction to reach those along<br />
the Via Egnatia, Greece is in a strategic location for<br />
reaching former communist countries of Eastern Europe,<br />
North Africa and the Middle East. (The Via Egnatia is<br />
an ancient road nearly 700 miles long stretching from<br />
Durrës, Albania, to Istanbul, Turkey.) Our partners with<br />
ReachGlobal and Hellenic Ministries desire to proclaim<br />
the gospel and make disciples who serve the Lord<br />
wholeheartedly.<br />
Pray for<br />
• Stephanos and Manon Mihalios (ReachGlobal Athens<br />
team leaders, church planters, teaching at Athens<br />
Bible College).<br />
• The team that will attend the Anastasi Celebration in<br />
Thessaloniki, April 24-30, to meet and pray with other<br />
believers who want to see the gospel spread in northern<br />
Greece.<br />
• The team that will visit Porto Astro, July 22-August 8, to<br />
pray, serve and proclaim the gospel at a summer camp<br />
for children and young adults. Pray campers commit<br />
their lives to Christ and grow in their faith.<br />
• Adults and families who will participate with Operation<br />
Joshua to put a Bible in every home in northern Greece<br />
and share the gospel, June 30–July 12.<br />
• Alexander and Kendra Macris<br />
(Northfield), who are preparing for<br />
long-term ministry with Hellenic<br />
Ministries (hellenicministries.org).<br />
They will lead the Porto Astro camp<br />
and follow-up ministry and serve on<br />
the Operation Joshua leadership team<br />
this summer.<br />
