“I would love to sing anything by Hillsong!” Mary Lynne from OM Montenegro was pleasantly surprised to hear 18 year-old Vanja* say this - she’d been coming to OM’s English classes for the past two years, but had shown no signs of being a believer. Maybe she had heard the songs through her believing aunt….”We often use Hillsongs at our worship meeting on Sundays, would you like to come?” Vanja accepted Mary Lynne’s invitation eagerly.

As Greece teeters on the brink of economic disaster, new OM country leader Gabby Markus reports that large numbers of the middle class and poor are increasingly desperate: “Many are forced to leave their homes because they cannot afford the rent. Salaries have been decreased to the minimum 400 Euros per month while the cost of goods and services remains high or is rising. Athens news reports increases in break-ins and robberies of homes, shops and banks. The numbers of people begging on the streets have increased. Thousands of Greeks are leaving the country in search of greener pastures.”
