LITSIKAKIS

MICHAIL & LOIS LITSIKAKIS
    Faith Promise Missionaries serving with 
        AMG International in Greece
 
Michail and Lois have a heart to be useful in God's service and have a passion for building communities. In 2012 they led a church-plant which is now one of the most fruitful church ministries in Greece. God gave them a heart for refugees and in 2016, they planted a church to share the Gospel with the local refugee community. Litsikakis is director of the CosmoVision Center, a multipurpose center which hosts events to minister to the people of Athens, as well as to educate believers for worldwide ministry. He is also director of the Refugee Ministry Outreach program. Lois supports their ministry efforts and also coordinates the Mothers of Preschoolers Ministry which helps wives and mothers find contentment in their relationship with God, which helps them in the critical roles they play within their families.
 
Prayer Requests:
- Pray the Lord gives them wisdom while they are sharing the gospel with local Greek people.
- Pray for guidance and protection as they minister to refugees in Greece which is the crossroad of Asia, Africa, and Europe, hosting people from all over the world who are ready to hear the Gospel.
- Pray they raise their children in a godly manner in spite of their numerous ministry responsibilties and demanding schedules. (Editor's note: the following story indicates that this third prayer request is already being answered!)

Pray that the Vitters will get their Visas to move back to Italy soon. They have been trying since June to get an appointment. The spiritual condition of Italy is dire. Less than 1% are Christians. The churches there are more like museums. They will be serving with Jesse Shreck (and his family). The church plant will start with just their two families. Jesse has been in Italy for 16 years and helped plant two other churches.
