Where is God?      
     
   We don't much notice him perhaps in our freedom, comfort and prosperity. 

   But a new documentary, Jesus in Athens, tells of Christ bringing Muslim refugees in Greece to saving faith through Christian love.

   In 2015, more than 900,000 refugees and migrants entered Greece. More than 50,000 remain. These people escaped war, oppression, poverty or slavery. 

   They are being treated with kindness, as evangelists and churches help them with language classes, legal aid, food, shelter and showers. They also practice friendship with various activities. 

   Some ministries focus on children, protecting them from sexual predators, while providing shelter, education and Bibles.

   A church planter, who also drives taxi, witnesses to Muslim passengers. One told him, "God took us out of our country and brought us here in Greece to hear about Jesus."

   The driver says, "God took away our fear and prejudice." He welcomes Muslims into his home and has baptized hundreds in a water fountain. 

   Many converts speak openly on camera, admitting they are telling other Muslims about Jesus.

   WORLD magazine's contributor says, "Watching this documentary gives a glimpse of what a New Testament church might have been like: believers sacrificially loving strangers, proclaiming Christ, and humbly growing together."


Of course, God is everywhere.
And the Holy Spirit lives in every redeemed heart. 
We see him work mightily among those
who need him mightily.
