AN OUTREACH OF HELLENIC MINISTRIES
OPERATION JOSHUA
ABOUT
Meeting Needs. Making Known. Bringing life.
THE NEED
Greece is a nation where most people do not live by the principles of the Gospel, but simply participate in certain church traditions. At the same time, the majority of Greeks do not have a copy of the New Testament available to them in modern Greek, that is, in the vernacular.
OUR RESPONSE
Operation Joshua is our effort to respond to this urgent need by distributing the Word of God throughout Greece. Our vision is to give every Greek, even in the most remote village, the opportunity to access a New Testament in modern Greek.
"Operation Joshua isn't a project, it is a journey of faith with family and friends".
PARTNER WITH US!INVOLVEMENT
Come and be part of the effort, sharing God's Word in every home in Greece along with believers from all over the world. During the program we will worship God together and hear Bible lessons that will strengthen our faith. We are waiting for you!
OPERATION JOSHUA
