It's about time for a new post on our blog.
We both been a bit slow lately in the sense that we don't feel like doing anything. A bit low, a bit homesick...
At the same time I think we are both doing more then ever. We see new doors opening, contacts made and ways to serve and work. Kenneth is spending a lot of time at the computer since he found a course that is helping him improve the home pages he promised others. Lena has got in contact with a group of women that are helping the poor and needy on the island. It's great fun to be able to serve in such a concrete way. And it's also a good way to practice her Greek because the women speak Greek among themselves.
The church has also been open more since we start to be there in the daytime -because of that the young ones are dropping by more often, they come and play music and stop for a chat -it's fun to see. And for a few weeks now we have had “club” for the teenagers. We are not experienced in this matter so it's a process for us but we are happy having such patience kids that support us. I hope we will find a way to do it “properly” before they give up on us...
But in the end God has it all in his hands. We got to trust him for speaking into the young lifes, only he can speak to their hearts as we have to open ours to hear him speak to us.

So good to read what you are up to! It sounds like God is moving, but I imagine you have moments of feeling homesick! I think it's great the young people are coming to church.
