[edit] Churches

• Greece remains one of Europe's least evangelized countries with somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 evangelical Christians. The small WEC team are working with one of the local churches in the biblical town of Thessaloniki where they are seeing ongoing growth. Please pray that God will raise up Greeks to take on the leadership roles in the church.

• The Orthodox Church was a focal rallying point in the dark years of Turkish and German occupations. Orthodoxy became part of the Greek identity and made Greeks often xenophobic. All other expressions of Christianity are seen as a threat to the state and the culture. Greeks have a high regard for Orthodox institutions but are little involved in church activities. There is a godly, committed minority with a personal faith, but the great majority are in ignorance of the message of the gospel and are most unreceptive to any non-Orthodox witness. Pray for the breaking down of prejudice, blindness and fear and for biblical renewal in Orthodoxy.
