Journey of Grace From Refugees to

Restorers of Hope

From Refugees to Restorers

Our Journey, Testimony of Faith and Growth

In April 2019, a distinct call from the Lord led us to host a foundational conference in Sounio, Greece. This gathering was specifically for Farsi-speaking refugees who had journeyed from nations like Iran and Afghanistan. Many arrived bearing heavy burdens and painful histories of loss, yet with a palpable and deep hunger for the truth of the Gospel. It was at this sacred juncture that lives were profoundly transformed as men and women encountered the saving grace of Jesus Christ, and our ministry was formally birthed.

From Vision to Flourishing Ministry

Since our first assembly, the Lord has grown this vision dramatically. What began as a conference is now a multifaceted ministry: establishing schools, training leaders, and planting vibrant churches across Greece, Turkey, and Germany. Our Bible college is raising a new generation for global mission. Our true narrative is not in structures, but in people finding belonging in Christ and faithfully leading others to Him. Every success is a testimony to God’s sovereign faithfulness. We move forward with unwavering hope, knowing the best is yet to come.

Our Guiding Scripture

As we embrace the future with expectation, we find strength and direction in the prophetic words of Isaiah 43:18-21 :

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise.”


This scripture anchors our mission, reminding us of God’s continuous work of renewal and provision, even in the most challenging circumstances.
