FACTS

  • Greece is a country in southeastern Europe with a rich history as the birthplace of Western civilization, ancient democracy, philosophy, and the Olympic Games.
  • Greece became an independent nation in 1830 after liberation from Ottoman rule and is now a parliamentary republic and member of the European Union.
  • Geography: Greece covers about 131,957 square kilometers, featuring a mountainous mainland and numerous islands in the Aegean and Ionian Seas.
  • Population: The total population is around 10.5 million people.
  • Ethnicity & Language: Most residents identify as Greek, and Greek is the official language, spoken by the vast majority.
  • Religion: Christianity is the dominant faith. Estimates from recent demographic surveys indicate that 81–90% of the population identifies with the Greek Orthodox Church, with smaller percentages identifying as Muslims, other Christian denominations, or unaffiliated.
  • Greece’s constitution recognizes Eastern Orthodoxy as the “prevailing religion”, though freedom of religious belief is guaranteed.
  • Capital: Athens is the capital city and cultural center of Greece.

WHY WE GO 

Greece is rich in Christian history, yet many people have never experienced a personal relationship with Christ. While Orthodoxy shapes the culture, active discipleship is fading—especially among younger generations.

At the same time, economic pressure, an aging population, and the loss of young people to emigration have left many families and communities searching for hope. Greece has also become a refuge for people from other nations, creating complex humanitarian needs.

Local churches are serving faithfully to spread the Gospel, but they need prayer, partnership, and encouragement. We pray for spiritual renewal, unity among believers, and open hearts across Greece to encounter the life-changing hope of the gospel.

October 9–19, 2026, we will travel to Greece, where we will partner with local churches in evangelistic outreaches, ministry to refugees, medical missions, and service among impoverished Roma communities.

On this mission, you’ll have the opportunity to share the Gospel with children and adults who have fled from war zones and persecution in countries like Afghanistan, Sudan, Ukraine, and others. You’ll also visit Roma communities where we’ll host medical clinics and children’s outreach programs—using games, sports, arts and crafts to open the door to sharing the hope of Christ. There will also be opportunities for street evangelism and encouraging the local body of believers.

When the Apostle Paul brought the Gospel westward along the Roman Via Egnatia, Thessalonica—the largest city on this ancient highway—became a central hub from which Christianity spread throughout the region. His missionary journeys followed the Roman roads, creating a network of churches that shaped the early Christian world.

Our ministry will take place near several historic sites, and we’ve built in time for sightseeing and reflection. You will have the opportunity to follow the journey of the Apostle Paul in Philippi, the very place where the Gospel first entered Europe. This historical and spiritual tour will take you to key biblical sites that bring the book of Acts to life.

Highlights of Philippi:

  • Lydia’s Baptistry

Stand by the river Zigaktis where Paul baptized Lydia, the first European convert to Christianity (Acts 16). This sacred spot marks the beginning of Christianity in Europe.

  • Archaeological Park of Philippi

Explore the remarkable ruins of the Roman Forum, early Christian basilicas, and the ancient theatre that echo the city’s vibrant history.

  • The Prison of Paul and Silas

Visit the site where Paul and Silas were imprisoned before God miraculously set them free through an earthquake.

  • Kavala (Ancient Neapolis)

Walk through the port where Paul first set foot on European soil, beginning his mission that forever changed the continent.

This tour is a wonderful opportunity to deepen your faith as you literally walk where Paul walked.

This team will fill up quickly. If your heart is stirred to be part of this powerful mission, please let us know as soon as possible so we can reserve your spot.
