SHIVERING WORSHIPPERS
Preachers generally have a hard I time filling our comfortable churches in this country. I am won- | dering how many would attend services if they had to meet in a tent in the midst of winter with 20 | inches of snow outside and no heat in the tent. That is exactly the tragic situation of the Evangelical | believers of the town of Volos in Greece, where 80% of the build- I ings were destroyed by earthquake, among them the houses of the Prot- estant believers and also their church. This happened over three years ago and they are still wor shipping in tents and living in piti- l able conditions. It is wonderful that in spite of these circumstances the people are so hungry for the Gospel that they still come. From Rev. Basil Sakellis, the Gos- j pel worker in that area, comes the j following word: "For almost three j years now the earth has been almost ! constantly shaking under our feet. J Our nerves are at the point of a j breakdown. We have experienced I hundreds of minor earthquakes and j we live in a state of alarm all the time.” The most amazing thing is I that the poor believers in Greece | gave $4,000 out of their indescrib- i able poverty for the purpose of re building their church, giving pri ority to the house of God even | while they were homeless them selves. They have now turned to the ! I Christian public of America, to you. They need an additional $11,000 j and to help meet that need the ! American Mission to Greeks has al- j ready sent $1,000. The need is so i imperative and the cause so holy, that we entreat you not to let this j opportunity of serving the Lord go j by. Surely there are 1,000 readers j of this magazine who could sacri fice $10 or more. Will you be one j of them? What a heritage these | people have given us! Here is an j opportunity to say "thank you” to ] them for the missionary zeal of their , forefathers. Send your gift for this urgent need to: American Mission to Greeks, Inc., Rev. Spiros Zodhi- ates, Gen. Sec., Dept. K, Box 423, i New York 36, N.Y. (In Canada: J 90 Duplex Ave., Toronto 7, Ont.)
