Later in the afternoon, we shared communion over looking the mountains. Jim shared from Jeremiah 31--the passage that God plants eternity in the hearts of all humanity. In ages past, humanity has been groping after God. To see the oracles of Delphi where people travelled to hear from Apollo through the Pythia. Amazingly the oracles were silenced around the first century...around the birth of Christ!
Here is a picture of Jim and Melissa serving communion. A very cool moment...as Jim shared the gospel nd Jeremiah passage, two young women were lingering. When it came time to receive the body and blood, they came forward. Turns out they are from a baptist church in Russia and were delighted to be able to receive Holy Communion! Each of the team came forward to receive and then take the elements looking out at the power and glory of God's creation.
Praise God from whom all blessings, wisdom and truth and beauty flow!
