Dear Friends: So when was the last you've heard from us? Oh right at the close of VBS and the beginning of the school year! It's been a while and thank you for thinking of us and praying for us all along the way. Personally we started school and then took a few days to be with the family and rest, it was much needed and an answer to prayer since we would not have been able to do this 'get away' on our own. And with renewed zest we have jumped into this new season. Evangelia continues to school our girls and to teach English at the playground. She is doing two levels this year. In October, we did for the first time a mini fall festival with our English class, we carved pumpkins and talked about how Jesus takes out the yuckies from our heart and puts His light in us. It was sweet to see these unchurched kids get excited to have the light of Jesus. In November we shared a Thanksgiving meal with the kids and their families, and sure they got a mini condensed version of the history of this American holiday, but we focused it on being thankful and thanking God for everything. Please pray for the children and for their grandparents that were there with us for both of the events to remember the simple truth shared with them and to be thirsty for more. Stephen completed his 3rd marathon on November 13th. He is continuing his Greek school 5 days a week. Now he is able to make puns in 2 languages… :) For those of you who speak Greek you can read at the bottom for one of his jokes. He is also continuing to teach Bible studies and is discipling 4 young guys each week. He really enjoys putting together what he calls the “Thought For The Day” in which he shares through video some things that God has taught him in a practical way for these young guys. He hopes to be able to communicate these entirely in Greek soon as well. You can watch some here: http://larkinsingreece.weebly.com/thought . He also loves to read/ listen to great Christian books. If you want an impactful book check out John Bevere's new book: Driven By Eternity. It is a life changing book. Youth Ministry: Picture from recent game and a recent message.

Currently we are in full force for the Christmas outreaches sponsored by the church. The children’s/teenager’s program tonight, December 11th, and the adult production with the story from Creation to the Birth is on December 25th. Please pray that many will respond to the invitation to come and once they are there to accept the invitation to follow Jesus. Gabriela Zoe has in her heart to invite lots of friends so please pray for those kids and their parents as well. How can we pray for you?
