Thessaloniki, Greece

It is exciting to see how God is moving through the School of Christ during this end time reach for men's souls. The nation of Greece is no exception. The Spirit of God has begun a reviving of the work the Apostle Paul had started in the city of Thessaloniki. In the middle of all the allurements of the sensual world that has engulfed the city, there is a remnant crying out for someone to show them the way back to reality.
The Apostle Paul was never able to return to Thessaloniki, even though his heart longed to continue the work he had started. The School of Christ has come for such a time as this to restore the pure doctrine of Pentecost, as well as the manifested life of Christ.
I held a two day ministers' conference for those invited from all over the city; my wife was able to accompany me on this trip. We spoke to the ministers and shared the teaching of the School of Christ. We also showed them some of the lessons from the School. As the lessons began to sink into the hearts of all in attendance, you could feel the anticipation building.
We were able to view the finished product of the Greek translation on the church projection screen. It was such a blessing! I watched as the lessons were played; some people began to cry while others were shouting, "Amen!" There was an awakening taking place. Even the most seasoned pastor there told me, "We have never heard this before." As the ministers were brought under conviction by the clarity of the Word, they began to tell me what a great translation it was.
The teaching in the School of Christ will be revolutional for all who attend. The church has become bankrupt for pure gospel preaching today, and in Greece they have never experienced or heard such a Word. This will truly be a life changing experience for those who attend, but it will also be a defining moment for the Church in this nation as well.
The services we held during this trip were powerful. The Lord worked within us through His convicting power. With hundreds in attendance, the front of the church was filled with vessels weeping and crying out to God. Many responded to the Word as the Holy Ghost stirred men to transformation.
We will be running our first school in July of 2012. Students will be attending from all over Macedonia, Thessaloniki, Philippi, Berea, and Athens. There will also be some students coming from Italy. What an exciting opportunity to reach the region of Macedonia!
