Our prayers are with the people of Greece this week as they struggle through debates and riots concerning the austerity measures that were voted into place by the Greek parliament yesterday. The government is making major economic cuts in order to avoid bankruptcy and a possible exit from the eurozone.
Among other provisions, these austerity measures will eliminate 15,000 public sector jobs and reduce the minimum wage by twenty percent.
Protesters are rioting in Athens, and many Greek citizens are losing hope in the midst of such a dire economic situation. Please read the stories below to stay informed on this crisis, and please keep the people of Greece in your prayers.
May we all be a part of the very prayers we make.
