It's not that things aren't happening...rather, so much happening that I don't have time to get it onto the blog. I will try to do better tomorrow...
Meanwhile...from Athens...God's "hand" continues it's mighty work through his human ambassadors...
"After a quick bite in the cafeteria, I headed over to the (Carribean Island) delegation for a meeting with them. Joining me at this meeting was Gerard, the AIA Director for (one of the island countries). The Chef de Mission of (this island) and his assistant sat and brainstormed ideas of how to reach the athletes of their country with the Good News of Jesus. Afterwards, we gave an Olympic Edition Jesus Film DVD to the Chef who promised that he would make sure that every athlete, coach and official in the delegation received the DVD.
Next I went to the Olympic Village Religious Center for a small worship service and then a Bible Study with 3 Asian country athletes...two basketball players and one volleyball player. These guys love the Lord, are growing in their faith and being discipled back in their home country by one of our AIA staff members. They asked for prayer in 3 areas. One, they desire to be a faithful example of God's love to their teammates. Second, they're all a bit banged up...one required a shot for back pain, and Third, it's been difficult to be away from their families during this time and they asked God's protection on them while they're apart."
From another source...
"On Wednesday, I was able to go inside the Olympic Village and meet with the delegation head from (an African country). We have another appointment today with this person today to discuss how we could help their country's athletes grow. I was also able to have lunch with an Asian athlete studying at an American university and study Colossians 3:17,23 with him in his dorm room before his afternoon practice!!"
More tomorrow...
