This week we had a special house meeting in the town of Gefyra. My granddaughter Charis Krouscas, an All-American Lacrosse player, gave her testimony. Then her father, my son Pastor Jim, shared an encouraging message.
The twenty people gathered, most from the Orthodox Church, were both blessed and impressed—especially as they learned about Lacrosse for the first time. I was reminded of the good race that Paul describes to Timothy:
Fight the good fight of the faith.
Take hold of the eternal life to which
you were called when you made your good
confession in the presence of many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:12
From June 29 – July 5, four of us will travel to Bulgaria for the Annual Roma Pastors’ and Wives’ Conference for fellowship and training. This conference has been sponsored by The Macedonian Outreach for over thirty years. We will also visit some small churches in the area to encourage the believers and participate in the Sunday morning service of the Roma Church in Yastrebovo before we return home.
Your prayers for safe travels and fruitful ministry would be greatly appreciated.

Recently, a few of us went to visit a house church in a village north of the ministry house. We went to encourage them and we came home with all these goodies. Unbelievable! So generous with a faith so strong. We praise the Lord for these people who, through trials, have stood firm in their faith for years and years.
This past Tuesday I worked at the Refugee Center in Thessaloniki. What can I say…my heart is full. Refugees from so many countries but my new friends from Sudan stole my heart. All the ones in the picture are believers. Their faces shone Jesus. They are not only refugees but persecuted Christians. I will never forget the joy on their faces. Please pray for them. All of them have left families behind, not knowing what will happen to them. Also pray for all the refugees!
To my incredible Board, volunteers and all those of you who pray and support The Macedonian Outreach, I want to say a big “Thank you”. I thank the Lord for everyone of you and wish you a Thanksgiving full of God’s blessings.
With love from the bottom of my heart,
Vula
