Tomorrow I will be leaving to fly to Greece at about 5 pm and will be arriving in Greece around noon, local time. It is a ten hour direct flight and then after the flight we have a five hour drive to the town of Preveza.
Preveza will be the “base camp” for all the volunteers apart of Operation Joshua during the trip. The volunteers come from all over the world and I am excited to make connections with a variety of different people! Most of the volunteers will be camping, however my group will be staying in a local hotel. Which may seem lame, but it will be nice to get out of the heat after a long day of work.

The first day or so, all of the volunteers involved will have orientation. I have been told it is very long, but very thorough as they cover a lot of topics. Once we are through with orientation we begin handing out bibles! Many people in Greece have never seen a bible in their own language and the goal of Operation Joshua is to change that. 12 years after they have started, about 25 percent of the population have received a bible in Modern Greek and that number is on the rise! The goal for this year is to bring the gospel to 100,000 people in the regions of Arta, Aitoloakarnania, and Evritania. Each day our group will start off by receiving a map of our target towns and a bunch of bibles.
Then off we go handing out bibles in those towns, putting them on gates, explaining what we are doing to residents, and talking to residents if they are interested and want to talk more. At night, we meet back at the base camp in Preveza and eat dinner together with all the rest of the volunteers. After dinner, we have worship all together in multiple languages, I believe, and possibly hearing some preaching from someone who is there. That is basically what each day will consist of with one day off in the middle. More updates to come when I arrive safely in Greece!
