[In early February] a Christian teacher at a private school in Thessaloniki hosted the first prayer space that we know of in Greece.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s developing really fast,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The students from the high school helped to build and create a room just how they want it. When other students came to visit, at first they said that it was weird, but it didn&#8217;t take long for them to join in&#8230; many said that they wanted to find some space for themselves and God.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Other teachers responded to the prayer space like happy little children, and some said that they would like a corner of the room all to themselves, where they could read the Bible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In general, the Greek people are in difficulties. The financial crisis affected us very early and very deeply, and a lot of people are stuck in poverty. However, some of the parents were so excited by the impact of the prayer space on one student&#8217;s character that they decided to help out by raising some money to develop the prayer space. A small office room is changing into an area where students can find a refuge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These prayer spaces can have a deep impact; they can cause an awakening here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\u00bb <a href=\"http:\/\/www.24-7prayer.com\/blog\/2196\" target=\"_blank\" shape=\"rect\">Read full story<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\u00bb Watch the five-minute video on <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/36904237\" target=\"_blank\" shape=\"rect\">Prayer Spaces in Schools<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: 24-7 Prayer International, February 11, 2014 Prayer spaces can have a deep impact.
