Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki Will Be a Light to the Region of Macedonia!
Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece, has a rich Christian history. Once visited by Paul, the city experienced a profound transformation as synagogues turned to Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Thessaloniki became a beacon of light and a launching pad for the Gospel to spread throughout the surrounding region of Macedonia.
For centuries, there has been a great battle over this influential port city. Just as in the early church, when Paul was unable to return to Thessaloniki to support the church after its founding because “Satan blocked their way” (1 Thessalonians 2:18), we believe that the gates of this city will be opened wide again for the sharing of the Gospel by first winning the spiritual battle over the city through intercession.
God will restore Thessaloniki, and it will stand tall as a lighthouse, spreading the light and hope of the Gospel once more! Join us in prayer as we seek to reclaim this territory for the sake of the Gospel and see souls saved in Thessaloniki in 2025!
Daily Schedule
Each day we will go on the streets for a couple of hours to share the Gospel and see many life-changing encounters, pray for healing and love on people. We will have breaks where you can grab lunch and dinner and regular times to gather for worship, prayer and to hear the amazing testimonies of what God is doing on the streets.
We will send you more specific information on the city you choose after you applied.
All participants are responsible to cover all of their own costs (flights, accommodation, transportation, food etc.) We believe this will be a great investment into the Gospel being spread all over Europe.
