Hellenic Missionary Union Inc

HELLENIC MISSIONARY UNION IS ORGANIZED TO SERVE AS A SPONSORING AND SUPPORT ORGANIZATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF CHRISTIANITY IN GREECE AND THE WORLD

OPERATION JOSHUA, OUR BIGGEST EVANGELISTIC OUTREACH IN 2022, INVOLVED THE RECRUITMENT OF 250+ VOLUNTEERS FROM 32 COUNTRIES WHO WERE ABLE TO DELIVER 75,000 HARD-BOUND NEW TESTAMENTS DOOR TO DOOR IN OVER 200 VILLAGES IN CENTRAL GREECE(AT NO COST TO THE RECIPIENTS). THIS CAMPAIGN IS PART OF A GREATER STRATEGY OF SEEING NEW CHURCHES PLANTED THROUGHOUT MAINLAND AND THE POPULATED GREEK ISLANDS. THROUGH THE SACRIFICE AND EFFORTS OF LAY LEADERS AND RURAL PASTORS, WE HAVE CHURCHES ESTABLISHED IN ATHENS, LAKONI, ARKADIA, LARISSIS AND CHANIA (CRETE). EACH FALL, A PASTOR'S CONFERENCE IS HOSTED IN ATHENS, PROVIDING MUCH NEEDED REST AND REFRESHMENT TO OVER 50 PASTORS AND THEIR WIVES. PROMOTION AND RECRUITMENT WERE CARRIED OUT IN SWEDEN, THE NETHERLANDS, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, SOUTH AFRICA, UNITED KINGDOM, GERMANY, AS WELL AS THE USA.

HELLENIC MINISTRIES OPERATES A MEDICAL CLINIC AT AN ORPHANAGE(EAGLE WINGS CHILDRENS VILLAGE)IN MASAKE, UGANDA. THE CLINIC PROVIDES BASIS MEDICAL CARE AND MEDICINE TO OVER 700 CHILDREN, FAMILY, AND STAFF. AS WELL AS HELLENIC MINISTRIES STAFF REGULARLY VOLUNTEER AND FACILITATE MANY OF THE EDUCATIONAL AND SOCIAL PROGRAMS OFFERED AT EAGLE WINGS CHILDREN'S VILLAGE.

AT OUR DOWNTOWN COMMUNITY CENTER, WE SERVED OVER 50,000 MEALS TO REFUGEES(MOSTLY MUSLIM MEN FROM EASTERN EUROPE, THE BALKANS, THE MIDDLE EAST, AND NORTH AFRICA). OUR LAUNDRY AND SHOWER FACILITIES ARE MADE AVAILABLE THOUGHOUT THE WEEK FOR THE REFUGEES AND THEIR FAMILIES. NEAR OUR COMMUNITY CENTER, WE HAVE A MEDICAL CENTER WHERE VOLUNTEER PEDIATRICIANS, GYNECOLOGISTS, AND DENTISTS MAKE THEMSELVES AVAILABLE TO SERVE THE REFUGEE WOMEN AND CHILDREN. WE ALSO OFFER CLASSES TO LEARN ENGLISH, CLASSES TO LEARN BASIS JOB SKILLS, AS WELL AS SEWING CLASSES FOR THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN.THE HOPE CENTER IS AN OUTREACH FOR UNWED MOTHERS WHO ARE IN NEED OF PRE-NATAL CARE AND HOUSING. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER CHURCHES AND MISSION ORGANIZATIONS, WE PROVIDE RELIEF TO THE THOUSANDS OF REFUGEES WHO HAVE MADE THEIR WAY TO GREECE THROUGH THE GREEK(PRIMARILY LESVOS AND SAMOS), AS WELL AS OVER THE LAND BY CROSSING AT THE TURKISH BORDER.

WE HAVE PROPERTY JUST NORTH OF ATHENS LOCATED ON THE SEA WHERE, EACH SUMMER, WE ORGANIZE VARIOUS CAMPS FOR FAMILIES, TEENS, AND REFUGEES. MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN OF ALL AGES ARE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE LOVE OF CHRIST THROUGH THE MINISTRY OF DOZENS OF VOLUNTEER WORKERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. MORE THE 50 INDIVIDUALS WERE BAPTIZED THIS PAST YEAR. SEVERAL DOZEN CAMP PARTICIPANTS MADE A COMMITMENT(OR RECOMMITMENT) TO SERVE CHRIST IN THEIR LIVES. OUR 55 FOOT SAILBOAT, THE MORNING STAR, WITH SMALL TEAMS OF VOLUNTEERS, MADE SEVERAL TRIPS THROUGHOUT THE MEDITERRANEAN TO MINISTER TO CHRISTIANS ON THE GREEK ISLANDS.
