Unsung Heroes: Meet Hamza 🍽️

At Porto Astro, summer feels like magic — and it smells like something delicious, too.

Behind every tasty bite that fuels our summer activities, playtimes, and long summer days is Hamza — the heart of the kitchen and the hands behind every meal.

From sunrise prep to the last serving, Hamza makes sure that kids and adults alike enjoy nourishing, joyful food, full of flavor and love.

His meals bring us together, recharge us, and turn ordinary moments into summer memories.

Thank you, Hamza, for being “the taste” of Porto Astro.

After a long period of preparation, part of our media team—supported by partners from Finland as well as several American and European countries—has officially begun moving forward with new initiatives. This collaboration will enable the production of a significant amount of Afghan media content in the coming period, strengthening outreach and communication efforts within the Afghan community.

At the same time, the Afghan Servants Fellowship has now begun. Afghan leaders and pastors have gathered from around the world, including the United States, Australia, Canada, and across Europe, for a time of fellowship, encouragement, and ministry development.

Hellenic Ministries is honored to support these efforts through media and production, and to witness the continued growth and strengthening of the Afghan Christian community worldwide.

A positive pregnancy test does not always bring joy. For many women, especially those facing difficult circumstances—abuse, poverty, isolation, or abandonment by a partner—the news can trigger panic, depression, and a sense that the ground is crumbling beneath her feet.

In moments like these, when an unexpected pregnancy brings more fear than hope, we stand by pregnant women offering a steady hand and a safe support network that can be captured in one simple but powerful promise: you are not alone.

Since 2012 we have helped more than 90 women find hope and strength to move forward with their lives. The beneficiaries are mainly immigrants from Africa, refugees from the Middle East, but also very young women from Greece, Northern Europe, and America.

Through our helpline, counseling, and active support, we offer guidance without pressure or judgment.

For the second time in three months, our church in Athens has been broken into — again.

Three months ago, our church was burglarized. With your support, we repaired the door and took significant steps toward restoring our sound equipment and strengthening security.

On Holy Saturday, April 11th, the church was broken into again after initial repairs were made. Additional audio equipment was stolen, and the doors and gate were damaged once more. An additional $4,100 in damages was incurred, and just $3,170 remains outstanding.

Despite this setback, we gathered with joy to celebrate our Easter service on Holy Saturday, as it was observed this year in Greece. This was a powerful reminder that faith and hope cannot be stolen. 🙏

This church is part of our church planting initiatives, serving communities across Athens. It is more than a building—it is a place of hope, faith, and support.

If you feel led to support us, your generosity will help:

• Repair the broken door

• Replace the stolen sound equipment

• Strengthen lighting and security measures

We choose forgiveness over resentment.

Thank you for helping us keep City Church open in our community!

He is risen—Christ our Saviour is alive!

Today, as Easter is celebrated here in Greece, we rejoice in the greatest gift humanity has ever received: eternal life through Jesus Christ our King. Because He lives, we live. Death has no hold on Him, and through Him, it has no hold on us.

Wishing you all a blessed and joyful Easter! 🕊️🌸
