COULD YOU LIVE ON $8 .00 A MONTH?
Kalliopi, an evangelical believer, has no one in the world to care for her except one of our missionaries. All alone in her tiny room she suffers agonizing pain. Bedfast and penniless she needs food, medicine and other help. Could you undertake her support at $15.00 a month? The need in Greece cannot be over emphasized. A strong statement? To Americans it may seem so, but not to those who have visited that poverty- ridden land. How can you exaggerate the misery of a country where 35% of the population is officially classified as des titute, meaning that they earn less than $8.00 a month, while the cost of living is almost comparable to ours; where 6 out of 10 children are affected by tuber culosis; where there are more lepers than in any other country in Europe; where there are 400,000 orphans out of a popu lation of less than 8 million? Greece in 18 months suffered 4 major earthquakes, rendering one-thirtieth of its people completely homeless. This picture does not "exaggerate.” It is mild compared with many in our files. This is just one of the thousands we are trying to help. The American Mission to Greeks is working day and night to ship drugs and clothing, to provide food and shelter, for the orphaned, the desperately ill, the incredibly poor of Greece. And paralleling the relief ministry runs a full-scale program of missionary work, Scripture distribution, evangelism and Christian education. Through the Inter national Cooperation Administration, in whose program we fully participate, we distribute tons of U.S. surplus foodstuffs in Greece. For only $1.00 we can give out 22 lbs. of food to a needy family. (All cases of reported need are carefully investigated before help is given.) For $5.00 we can give out 5 Bibles or 25 New Testaments; for $6.00 a clothing package; $10.00 will educate a child in our Christian Day School for a month, or $15.00 will support an orphan in our orphanage; $50.00 will support a native missionary for a month. If you wish to help Greece in its spiritual and physical need, you may do it by sending your contribution to American Mission to < Greeks, Inc., Dept. K, P.O. Box 423, New York 36, N.Y., Rev. Spiros Zod- hiates, General Secretary. (In Canada write to 90 Duplex Ave., Toronto 7, Ontario.)
