Why This Matters

Greece · Boats · You

Even though the New Testament was written in Greek, today less than 1% of Greek people are born again. Many islands don't have a single believer.

Why Greece
Why Greece

The Macedonian Call Today

Greece was the first European country to be evangelized. Today, Christianity is mostly cultural — less than 0.5% are evangelical. The call to help is as urgent now as when Paul received his vision.

Why Boats
Why Boats

Because Jesus Used Them

He taught from boats. Today, boats serve as floating house churches — mobile, relational, reaching island communities that traditional missions can't. Hospitality on the water opens hearts.

Why You

Because Together is Better

Missionary workers need a strong prayer base. When you get involved, you become part of the adventure — and having people behind us is like favorable winds in our sails.

Our Story

Meet Robert & Danielle Feddes

Saying YES to an old boat is never a really good idea. Had we known what was involved… we might have backed out of it.

The Dolphin 3 is a Moody 33 sailboat, donated by Art Nilsen — a retired USAF Colonel and missionary on the Azores. When Art heard about Hellenic Ministries using boats for evangelism, he offered the boat. Through our friendship with Alex Macris, director of Broad Reach Maritime, the boat came to us.

She was given to us to bring Jesus closer to people and people closer to Jesus. But we've also learned she was given to grow and deepen our faith. It is a true faith-building challenge.
