Massie teaches during mission in Greece 

SAN ANTONIO -- John Massie, minister at the Alamo City Church of Christ, recently traveled the Greece where he taught Old Testament history and geography, the life of Christ and spiritual living for the freshman classes at Athens International Bible Institute. 

 

 While there he also preached for the Church of Christ that meets at the Congo Palace Hotel in Glyfada, Greece. Dino Roussos is the preacher and the students from Harding University's Greece campus worship there. 

This trip was Massie's sixth journey to Greece and according to Massie, "It was probably our most productive. "

 

During the excursion, Massie also went to Crete where he taught a seminar titled "Historical Christian Evidences" for a new church planting in the capital city of Hiraklion.

 

The church was established there by John Adesoye who was taught and discipled through the World English Institute courses he found online. After contacting Dick Adee, director of WEI in Seattle, he was baptized by Dino Roussos, missionary and minister in Athens. About 35 souls meet there regularly.

 

The Massies also visited Albania and taught a series of six lessons titled, "The Grace of God" for the Church of Christ in Durres. He also conducted a seminar for all of the ministers and church leaders in Albania on "Making and Keeping Disciples."
